Gauge Dark Symmetry and Radiative Light Fermion Masses

arXiv:1604.01148 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2016.06.024

Abstract

A gauge family symmetry is proposed, spanning the quarks and leptons as well as particles of the dark sector. The breaking of to divides the two sectors and generates one-loop radiative masses for the first two families of quarks and leptons, as well as all three neutrinos. We study the phenomenological implications of this new connection between family symmetry and dark matter. In particular, a scalar or pseudoscalar particle associated with this breaking may be identified with the 750 GeV diphoton resonance recently observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
