We discuss a realization of the non-abelian group O(2) as a family symmetry for the lepton sector. The reflection contained in O(2) acts as a mu-tau interchange symmetry, enforcing--at tree level--maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and a vanishing mixing angle theta_13. The small ratio m_mu/m_tau (muon over tau mass) gives rise to a suppression factor in the mass of one of the pseudoscalars of the model. We argue that such a light pseudoscalar does not violate any experimental constraint.
Motivated by the neutrino data, an extension of the Standard Model with three Higgs-boson doublets has been proposed. Imposing an O(2) x Z2 family symmetry, a neutrino mixing matrix with theta23 = pi/4 and theta13 = 0 appears in a natural way. Even t
We propose a model having a gauged $SU(2)$ symmetry associated with the second and third generations of leptons, dubbed $SU(2)_{mutau}$, of which $U(1)_{L_mu-L_tau}$ is an Abelian subgroup. In addition to the Standard Model fields, we introduce two t
We propose a first model of quarks based on the discrete family symmetry Delta (6N^2) in which the Cabibbo angle is correctly determined by a residual Z_2 times Z_2 subgroup, and the smaller quark mixing angles may be qualitatively understood from th
The EW-$ u_R$ model was constructed in order to provide a seesaw scenario operating at the Electroweak scale $Lambda_{EW} sim 246$ GeV, keeping the same SM gauge structure. In this model, right-handed neutrinos are non-sterile and have masses of the
We compute the distribution amplitudes of the pion and kaon in the light-front constituent quark model with the symmetric quark-bound state vertex function. In the calculation we explicitly include the flavor-SU(3) symmetry breaking effect in terms o
