The two-body decays of the extra neutral boson Z_2 predicted by the minimal 331 model are analyzed. At the three-level it can decay into standard model particles as well as exotic quarks and the new gauge bosons predicted by the model. The…
We perform a systematic study of flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNCs) in the 331 model with right-handed neutrinos (331RHNs), analyzing constraints on the $Z^\prime$ boson mass from $K$-, $D$-, $B_d$-, and $B_s$-meson oscillations. By…
Most of the existing analyses of FCNC processes in the 331 models, based on the gauge group SU(3)_C x SU(3)_L x U(1)_X, take only into account tree-level exchanges of a new heavy neutral gauge boson Z'. However due to the Z-Z' mixing also…

The one-loop level mediated $t-> c \gamma$ decay is analyzed in the framework of 331 models, which induce three-level flavor-changing neutral currents mediated by an extra neutral gauge boson, Z', and a neutral scalar boson, \phi. These…
We analyze the effect of flavor changing neutral currents within 331 models. In particular, we concentrate in the so-called "economical" models, which have a minimal scalar sector. Taking into account the experimental measurements of…
Meson and anti-meson mixing processes constitute an important source of constraints on models that give tree level contributions to flavor violating neutral processes. In electroweak $ \text{SU}(3)_\text{L} \times \text{U}(1)_N $ models,…
We carry out a general analysis of tree level flavor changing neutral currents in the context of 331 models, considering arbitrary quark and gauge boson mixing matrices. The results are applied to definite textures of quark mass matrices,…

Flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) processes are described by loop diagrams in the Standard Model (SM), while in 331 models, based on the gauge group $\text{SU}(3)_C \times \text{SU}(3)_L \times \text{U}(1)_X$, they are dominated by…
We examine the decay of $Z_1$ in electrons with recent data from LEP. The partial width $\Gamma(Z_1\to e^-e^+)$ is studied in the framework of a left-right symmetric model with standard electroweak corrections. Processes measured near the…
The one-loop induced Z --> g g gamma and Z-prime --> g g gamma decays are studied within the context of the minimal 331 model, which predicts the existence of new gauge bosons and three exotic quarks. It is found that the Z --> g g gamma…
We show that in the minimal 3-3-1 model the flavor changing neutral currents (FCNCs) do not impose necessarily strong constraints on the mass of the $Z^\prime$ of the model if we also consider the neutral scalar contributions to such…
In models with partially composite quarks, the couplings of quarks to the Z boson generically receive non-universal corrections that are not only constrained by electroweak precision tests but also lead to flavour-changing neutral currents…
There are theoretical and phenomenological motivations that there may exist additional heavy Z' bosons with family non-universal couplings. Flavor mixing in the quark and lepton sectors will then lead to flavor changing couplings of the…
We study the effect of new physics on the Z-decay into b anti-b pairs in the framework of 331 models. The decay Z -> b anti-b is computed at one loop level and, using previous results, we evaluate this branching fraction in the framework of…
Comparing the theoretically predicted and measured values of the mass difference of the $B^{0}_{s}$ system, we estimate the lower bound on the mass of the $Z^{\prime}$ boson of models based on the $SU(3)_{c} \otimes SU(3)_{L} \otimes…
The Standard Model (SM) has no flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) processes at the tree level. Therefore, processes featuring FCNC in new physics are tightly constrained by data. Typically, the lower bounds on the scale of new physics…
We investigate in detail the flavor structure of the minimal 331 model and its implications for several flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) processes. In this model, where the weak SU(2)_L gauge group of the Standard Model is extended to…
