Upcoming Seminars
Low Scale Flavor Gauge Symmetries
CERN, Geneva
17th September 2010
Abstract: I will discuss the possibility of gauging the Standard Model flavor
group.
Anomaly cancellation leads to the addition of fermions whose mass is
inversely
proportional to the known fermion masses. In this case all flavor
violating
effects come out to be controlled roughly by the Standard Model
Yukawa,
suppressing transitions for the light generations. Due to the
inverted hierarchy
the scale of new gauge flavor bosons could be as low as the
electroweak scale
without violating any existing bound but accessible at Tevatron and
LHC.
The mechanism of flavor protection potentially provides an
alternative
to Minimal Flavor Violation, with flavor violating effects suppressed
by hierarchy of scales rather than couplings.
