我们证明了具有离散A4对称性的全息复合Higgs模型是可以建立的,它自然地预言了分级带电轻子质量和近似的三重极大轻子混合,并具有正确的中微子质量尺度和特征现象。它们还满足电弱精密测试、轻子味破坏和轻子混合在大范围参数空间中的电流约束。在我们的模型中出现了两个现象学相关的特征。首先,对轻子汤川耦合的额外抑制使得τ轻子比从其质量天真地预期的更复杂。因此,新的轻轻子共振,质量低至几百GeV,与τ的大耦合和非常典型的对撞机现象,是很有可能的。其次,离散对称性A4与模型结构一起提供了双层风味保护,允许保持树水平介导的过程低于目前的实验限制。然而,违反轻子味的单圈过程,如μ→ eγ,可能在未来的实验中观察到。
We show that holographic composite Higgs Models with a discrete A 4 symmetry can be built, which naturally predict hierarchical charged lepton masses and an approximate tri-bimaximal lepton mixing with the correct scale of neutrino masses and a characteristic phenomenology. They also satisfy current constraints from electroweak precision tests, lepton flavor violation and lepton mixing in a large region of parameter space. Two features arise in our model phenomenologically relevant. First, an extra suppression on the lepton Yukawa couplings makes the τ lepton more composite than naively expected from its mass. As a consequence new light leptonic resonances, with masses as low as few hundreds of GeV, large couplings to τ and a very characteristic collider phenomenology, are quite likely. Second, the discrete symmetry A 4 together with the model structure provide a double-layer of flavor protection that allows to keep tree-level mediated processes below present experimental limits. One-loop processes violating lepton flavor, like μ→ eγ, may be however observable at future experiments.
