"Heterotic" Discrete Flavor Model

TL;DR

This paper proposes an extended 331 model with T' discrete flavor symmetry that explains three generations and predicts new particles accessible at the LHC, also relating to the 126 GeV scalar discovery.

Contribution

It introduces a novel 331 model with T' symmetry that accounts for fermion generations and mass/mixing patterns, predicting testable new particles.

Findings

Predicts new fermionic states and gauge bosons within LHC reach

Provides a framework linking flavor symmetry to fermion generations

Discusses implications for the 126 GeV scalar at LHC

Abstract

We present an extended 331 model with $T'$ discrete flavor symmetry that simultaneously explains the need to have exactly three generations and provides acceptable quark and lepton masses and mixings. New fermionic states and gauge bosons are predicted within the reach of the LHC. We discuss the relevance to the 126 GeV scalar discovered at the LHC.
