Model Description

As any other left-right symmetric model, ALRM is a QFT gauged by SU(2)_L×SU(2)_R×U(1)_B-L. B and L being the baryon and lepton numbers. An extra discrete S symmetry is imposed to differentiate between both the left and right fields and interactions of the Higgs sector.

As in the SM, left fermions compose SU(2)_L doublets. Right charged leptons are accommodated in SU(2)_R doublets with corresponding extra particles (scotinos) and right up-quarks in SU(2)_R doublets with corresponding extra exotic down-type quarks. Right neutrinos and down-quarks are SU(2)_L,R singlets. The Higgs sector composes of an SU(2)_L-doublet, an SU(2)_R-doublet and a bidoublet. The physical gauge sector of the model contains the electroweak gauge bosons (photon, W and Z bosons) and two extra gauge bosons (W' and Z') correspond to the SU(2)_R group.

The left-right symmetry is broken to the SM SU(2)_L×U(1)_Y, Y being the hypercharge, by the SU(2)_R-doublet vev, then the electroweak symmetry is broken to the U(1) electromagnetism through the bidoublet and the SU(2)_R-doublet vevs. Accordingly, all ferminos and gauge bosons (except of course photon) become massive through the so-called Higgs mechanism. The model contains ten physical Higgs bosons: four neutral CP-even higgs bosons, the lightest one of which is fixed to have a mass mh=125 GeV. Two charged gauge bosons and two CP-odd pseudoscalar Higgs bosons. The mass spectrum is calculated and the rotation matrices are implemented analytically. All model parameters and spectra are expressed in terms of only five independent (external) parameters: tanbeta,lambda_2,lambda_3,alpha_1,alpha_2. As in any two-Higgs doublet model, e.g., tanbeta is the ratio between two vevs. The parameters lambda_2,lambda_3,alpha_1,alpha_2 are dimensionless potential parameters.

The case of (massive) Dirac is considered with the MNS matrix is implemented with the normal hierarchy. Three mixed generation of quarks is considered.

Warnings

For the CalcHEP files, it's advised to use those uploaded to the page (​https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/attachment/wiki/ALRM/ALRM_CalcHEP.rar) and not to produce them from the model files. In the later case, you will be faced by a conflict between the string size produced by FeynRules and this allowed by CalcHEP. In fact, those CalcHEP files uploaded to the page are general and there is no need to produce them again, unless you have modified the model itself and want to generate the new ones.
