Hierarchy in fermion masses and the phantom axion

  • 1. European Organization for Nuclear Research, Geneva (Switzerland)

Description

An SU(5) model is presented with hierarchical fermion masses without strong CP violation and with an almost unobservable axion. The key point is to ''tie'' the highly desirable U(1)sub(P-Q) symmetry to the symmetry needed for the fermion mass hierarchy. Since the symmetry is broken at super-high energies (1015 GeV), the axion becomes super-difficult to detect. This is the Phantom Axion. (author)
