Fermion Masses and Mixings and Dark Matter Constraints in a Model with Radiative Seesaw Mechanism

Nicolás Bernal, A. E. Cárcamo Hernández, Ivo de Medeiros Varzielas +1

We formulate a predictive model of fermion masses and mixings based on a family symmetry. In the quark sector the model leads to the viable mixing inspired texture where th…
