Gauging the Shadow Sector with SO(3)

Abstract

We examine the phenomenology of a low-energy extension of the Standard Model, based on the gauge group SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) x SO(3), with SO(3) operating in the shadow sector. This model offers ${\nu }_e\to {\nu }_s$ and ${\nu }_{\mu }\to {\nu }_{\tau }$ oscillations as the solution of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems. Moreover, it provides a neutral heavy shadow lepton X that could play the role of a cold dark matter particle.
