Observable T_7 Lepton Flavor Symmetry at the Large Hadron Collider

Understand

More often than not, models of flavor symmetry rely on the use of nonrenormalizable operators (in the guise of flavons) to accomplish the phenomenologically successful tribimaximal mixing of neutrinos.

• We show instead how a simple renormalizable two-parameter neutrino mass model of tribimaximal mixing can be constructed with the non-Abelian discrete symmetry T_7 and the gauging of B-L.
• This is also achieved without the addition of auxiliary symmetries and particles present in almost all other proposals.
• Most importantly, it is verifiable at the Large Hadron Collider.
