Phenomenology of flavon fields at the LHC
Phenomenology of flavon fields at the LHC
We study low energy constraints from flavor violating processes, production, and decay at the LHC of a scalar field $\ensuremath{\varphi}$ (flavon) associated to the breaking of a nonsupersymmetric Abelian family symmetry at the TeV scale. This symmetry is constrained to reproduce fermion masses and mixing, up to $O(1)$ coefficients. The …
