Radiative Seesaw-type Mechanism of Fermion Masses and Non-trivial Quark Mixing

Abstract

We propose a predictive inert 2 Higgs doublet model, where the Standard Model (SM) symmetry is extended by S3 Z2 Z12 and the field content is enlarged by extra scalar fields, charged exotic fermions and two heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos. The charged exotic fermions generate a nontrivial quark mixing and provide one-loop-level masses for the first- and second-generation charged fermions. The masses of the light active neutrinos are generated from a one loop-level radiative seesaw mechanism. Our model successfully explains the observed SM fermion mass and mixing pattern.
