The flavor-dependent $U(1)_F$ model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2024-05-29 v1

Abstract

A flavor-dependent model (FDM) is proposed in this work. The model extends the Standard Model by an extra U(1)FU(1)_F local gauge group, two scalar doublets, one scalar singlet and two right-handed neutrinos, where the additional U(1)FU(1)_F charges are related to the particles' flavor. The new fermion sector in the FDM can explain the flavor mixings puzzle and the mass hierarchy puzzle simultaneously, and the nonzero Majorana neutrino masses can be obtained naturally by the Type I see-saw mechanism. In addition, the BB meson rare decay processes BˉXsγ\bar B \to X_s\gamma, Bs0μ+μB_s^0 \to \mu^+\mu^-, the top quark rare decay processes tcht\to ch, tuht\to uh and the τ\tau lepton flavor violation processes τ3e\tau\to 3e, τ3μ\tau\to 3\mu, μ3e\mu\to 3e predicted in the FDM are analyzed.
