Three Extra Mirror or Sequential Families: a Case for Heavy Higgs and Inert Doublet
arXiv:1101.3796 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.106.191802
Abstract
We study the possibility of the existence of extra fermion families and an extra Higgs doublet. We find that requiring the extra Higgs doublet to be inert leaves space for three extra families, allowing for mirror fermion families and a dark matter candidate at the same time. The emerging scenario is very predictive: it consists of a Standard Model Higgs boson, with mass above 400\,\GeV, heavy new quarks between 340 and 500\,\GeV, light extra neutral leptons, and an inert scalar with a mass below .
