A $U(1)_{X}$ extension to the SM with three families and Peccei Quinn symmetry (1909.11779v1)

Abstract: We propose a non-universal $U(1)_{X}$ extension to the Standard Model with three families and an additional global anomala Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry. The breaking of the former allows us to give masses to the exotic fermionic sector and the later generates the necessary zeros in the mass matrices to explain the fermionic mass hierarchy. In addition, the large energy scale associated with the spontaneously breaking (SSB) of the PQ symmetry provides a solution to the strong CP-problem and an axion that could be a possible dark matter candidate. Also, the SSB allows to generate right-handed neutrino masses, so the active neutrinos acquire $eV$-mass values due to the see-saw mechanism implementation.
