Lepton masses in a dynamical model of family symmetry

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The hierarchy of lepton masses is studied in a dynamical model of family (horizontal) symmetry. Left-right symmetry for both vertical (electroweak) and horizontal gauge groups is favored. The decay μ→eγ puts a strong constraint on couplings as well as on the masses of both the horizontal gauge boson and the right handed Z boson.
