Abstract

We propose an $S_{4}$ flavor model based on supersymmetric (SUSY) SU(5) GUT. The first and third generations of \textbf{10} dimensional representations in SU(5) are all assigned to be $1_{1}$ of $S_{4}$. The second generation of \textbf{10} is to be $1_{2}$ of $S_{4}$. Right-handed neutrinos of singlet \textbf{1} and three generations of $\bar{\textbf{5}}$ are all assigned to be $3_{1}$ of $S_{4}$. The VEVs of two sets of flavon fields are allowed a moderate hierarchy, that is $\langle\Phi^{\nu}\rangle \sim \lambda_{c}\langle\Phi^{e}\rangle$. Tri-Bimaximal (TBM) mixing can be produced at both leading order (LO) and next to next to leading order (NNLO) in neutrino sector. All the masses of up-type quarks are obtained at LO. We also get the bottom-tau unification $m_{\tau}=m_{b}$ and the popular Georgi-Jarlskog relation $m_{\mu}=3m_{s}$ as well as a new mass relation $m_{e}=\frac{8}{27}m_{d}$ in which the novel Clebsch-Gordan (CG) factor arises from the adjoint field $H_{24}$. The GUT relation leads to a sizable mixing angle $\theta^{e}_{12} \sim \theta_{c}$ and the correct quark mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ can also be realised in the model. The resulting CKM-like mixing matrix of charged leptons modifies the vanishing $\theta^{\nu}_{13}$ in TBM mixing to a large $\theta^{PMNS}_{13}\simeq\theta_{c}/\sqrt{2}$, in excellent agreement with experimental results. A Dirac CP violation phase $\phi_{12}\simeq\pm\pi/2$ is required to make the deviation from $\theta^{\nu}_{12}$ small. We also present some phenomenological numerical results predicted by the model.

Highlights

Summary

The strategy and assumptions

In a large class of flavor models that give arise to TBM and else mixing patterns with or without GUT context, the angle θ13 is usually about O(λ2c) ∼ 3◦ by taking subleading corrections into account. In the context of unified theory the Yukawa matrices of charged leptons and down quarks are unified in single joint operators, which provide a possible approach to generating a larger mixing angle θ1e2 λc. The CG factors enter inversely in the desired Yukawa matrix elements and the new predictions arise Another difficulty in generating the desired Yukawa structures and the mixings is the vacuum alignments which arise from the spontaneously broken flavor symmetry. In the present GUT flavor model the “fully” separated scalar potential is not exactly the same as that in Lin’s proposal. To a certain extent the hierarchical VEVs of Φe and Φν are even necessary in the present model
