Neutrino Masses in a 5D $SU(3)_W$ TeV Unification Model
Abstract
We study the generation of neutrino masses in the electroweak unified theory in spacetime. By appropriate orbifolding, the bulk symmetry is broken into at one of the fixed points, where the quarks reside. The leptons form triplets, localized at the other symmetric fixed point. The fermion masses arise from the bulk Higgs sector containing a triplet and an anti-sextet. We construct neutrino Majorana masses via 1-loop quantum corrections by adding a parity odd bulk triplet scalar. No right-handed neutrino is needed. The neutrino mass matrix is of the inverted hierarchy type. We show that the model can easily accommodate the bi-large mixing angle solution favored by the recent neutrino experiments without much fine tuning of parameters. The constraints from transition and neutrinoless double beta decays are discussed.
