    (Dated: May 2, 2013)

    A model of electroweak-scale right-handed neutrino (EWR ) model was constructed five years

    ago in which the right-handed neutrinos are members of mirror fermion weak doublets and where

    the Majorana masses of the right-handed neutrinos are found to be naturallyof the order of the

    electroweak scale. These features facilitate their searches at the LHC through signals such as like-

    sign dilepton events. This model contains, in addition to the mirror quarks and leptons, extra

    scalars transforming as weak triplets. In this paper, we study the constraints imposed on these

    additional particles by the electroweak precision parameters S, T, and U. These constraints are

    crucial in determining the viability of the electroweak R model and the allowed parameter space

    needed for a detailed phenomenology of the model.

    I. INTRODUCTION

    Two of the most pressing problems in particle physicsare, without any doubt, the nature of the spontaneous

    breaking of the electroweak symmetry and the nature

    of neutrino masses and mixings. It goes without saying

    that the discovery of a Higgs-like particle with a mass

    of 126 GeV at the LHC goes a long way in the attempt

    to answer to the first question although much remains

    to be determined if the 126 GeV object is truly a 0++

    particle predicted by the Standard Model (SM) or it is

    something else beyond the Standard Model. As to the

    second question concerning neutrino masses, the general

    consensus is that the discovery of neutrino oscillationsis best explained by neutrinos having a mass- albeit a

    very tiny one. One might say that this is the first sign of

    Physics Beyond the Standard Model since neutrinos are

    massless in the SM. There has also been important ad-

    vances in measuring mixing angles in the PMNS matrix

    of the neutrino sector. In particular, the angle13 was

    found by the Daya Bay experiment [1] to be quite large, a

    number which was subsequently confirmed by the RENO

    experiment [2].

    In spite of these successes, we still do not know whether

    the neutrinos are of the Dirac type or of the Majoranatype. In either case, the simplest approach is to add

    right-handed neutrinos which are definitely particles be-

    yond the SM spectrum. What is the nature of these

    [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

    right-handed neutrinos? The standard assumption is one

    in which they are SM singlets: the so-called sterile neu-

    trinos. For this singlet assumption to become a physi-cal reality, one should be able to test it in order to ei-

    ther prove or disprove it. Presently, there is no evidence

    for these sterile neutrinos. Furthermore, since nothing is

    known about the possible existence and associated prop-

    erties of right-handed neutrinos, it is prudent to enter-

    tain other logical possibilities. Why should right-handed

    neutrinos be sterile? Would the assumption of SM-non

    singletright-handed neutrinos be also reasonable? Could

    one test it? This latter assumption is one that was pro-

    posed by one of us in formulating the EWR model [4]

    to which we will come back below.The most elegant mechanism for generating tiny neu-

    trino masses is the quintessential seesaw mechanism in

    which a large lepton-number-violating Majorana mass,

    MR, typically of the order of some Grand Unified The-

    ory mass scale, was given to the SM-singlet right-handed

    neutrino and a Dirac mass, mD MR, was assumedto come form the electroweak sector, giving rise to a

    mass m2D/MR mD which could be of the orderof O(< eV) [5]. How does one test this version of seesaw

    mechanism? One could either look for the right-handed

    neutrinos and/or search for lepton-number-violating pro-cesses. It is however practically impossible to directly

    detect the SM-singlet right-handed neutrino unless ex-

    treme fine-tuning is carried out to make the right-handed

    neutrinos much lighter than the GUT scale[3]. The most

    common way to test the seesaw mechanism is to look for

    signals where a lepton-number violating process such as

    the neutrino-less double beta decay is present. However,

    such a process is extremely hard to detect and so far one

    has not had much luck with it.

    In a generic seesaw scenario, one has two scales: MRMGUT 1016 GeV andmD EW 246 GeV. Out ofthose two scales, only EW is observable while MGUT is

    a hypothetical scale that may or may not exist. With-

    out fine-tuning, the fate of the SM-singlet (sterile) right-

    handed neutrinos is linked to that of this hypothetical

    scale.

    The question that was asked in [4] was as follows: Is

    it possible to naturallymake the Majorana mass of the

    right-handed neutrinos of the order of the electroweak

    scale? The answer is yes. One onlyneeds to extend the

    SM in the fermion and scalar sectors. The gauge group is

    still SU(3)CSU(2) U(1)Y, where the usual subscriptL for S U(2) is absent for reasons to be explained below.

    IfMR EW and because ofm2D/MR, one would needmD O(keV ) in order to have neutrino masses of the

    order of eV or less. This then requires the introductionof a hypothetical scale,mS, which, in contrast toMGUT ,

    is of O(keV). This scale may be related to the physics of

    dark matter [6]. This is the model of electroweak-scale

    right-handed neutrinos presented in [4]. As one will see

    in the brief review of this model, this necessitates the

    introduction of mirror fermion doublets of the SM gauge

    group, of which the right-handed neutrinos are members.

    The right-handed neutrinos in the model of [4] acquire a

    Majorana mass naturally ofO(EW). Furthermore, they

    belong to weak doublets and couple to Ws and Z and

    have electroweak production cross sections at colliders

    such as the LHC. Some of the signals are described briefly

    in [4]. In addition, the EWR model contains one Higgs

    doublet and two Higgs triplets, one of which contains a

    doubly-charged scalar. Some of the phenomenology of

    this sector of the model was explored in [7]. We shall

    come back to the implication of this scalar sector on the

    126 GeV object in a separate paper.

    The model of [4] contains mirror quarks and lep-

    tons which are accessible at the LHC. The phenomenol-

    ogy of these fermions will be presented in [8]. Since, for

    every SM left-handed doublet, one has a right-handeddoublet (and similarly for the SM right-handed singlets),

    the number of chiral doublets has increased by a factor of

    two. This raises the obvious question of potential prob-

    lems with electroweak precision data through the S, T

    and U parameters. In particular, even if one artificially

    makes the top and bottom members of these mirror dou-

    blets degenerate, one is faced with a large contribution

    to the S parameter. (In fact, this was a big problem

    with Technicolor models [9].) These large contributions

    from the extra chiral doublets would have to be offset by

    contributions from other sectors with the opposite sign

    in such a way that the sum falls within the experimen-

    tal constraints. It was mentioned in [4] that such extra

    contributions can be found in the scalar sector, in partic-

    ular the Higgs triplet sector where its contribution can be

    negative enough to offset the positive contribution fromthe mirror fermions to S. It is the purpose of the present

    manuscript to examine in detail the contributions of the

    mirror fermions and the extended Higgs sectors to the

    electroweak precision parameters. As we shall see below,

    the EWR model fits nicely with the electroweak preci-

    sion constraints which, in turn, put limits on the mass

    splittings within the multiplets of mirror fermions and

    the Higgs multiplets and so on.

    Finally, one should notice that there are aspects of the

    SM which are intrinsically non-perturbative such as the

    electroweak phase transition. The most common frame-work to study non-perturbative phenomena is through

    lattice regularization. It is known that one cannot put a

    chiral gauge theory such as the SM on the lattice without

    violating gauge invariance. However, a gauge-invariant

    formulation of the SM on the lattice is possible if one

    introduces mirror fermions [10]. Is it possible that the

    mirror fermions of the EWR model play such a role?

    We end the Introduction by quoting part of a sentence

    in the famous paper about parity violation by Lee and

    Yang [11]: If such asymmetry is indeed found, the ques-

    tion could still be raised whether there could not existcorresponding elementary particles exhibiting opposite

    asymmetry such that in the broader sense there will still

    be over-all right-left symmetry.. [4] is, in some sense, a

    response to this famous quote.

    The plan of the manuscript will be as follows. First, we

    summarize the essential elements of the EWR model of

    [4]. Second, we present calculations of the electroweak

    precision parameters in the EWR model. Third, we

    discuss the implications coming from the constraints on

    the electroweak precision parameters on the various mass

    splittings and parameters of the mirror sector as well asof the extended Higgs sector. We conclude with some

    remarks concerning the 126 GeV boson.

    II. THE EWR MODEL

    [4] asked the following two questions: 1) Could one

    obtain the right-handed neutrino Majorana mass strictly

  • 8/12/2019 Nurstu 05-01-13 Revised 2

    3/43

    3

    within the SM gauge group SU(3)c SU(2)L U(1)Yby just extending its particle content?; 2) If it is possible

    to do so, what would be the constraints on the Dirac

    mass scale? The answer to the first question lies in the

    construction of the EWR model [4].

    In a generic seesaw scenario, Rs are SM singlets and,

    as a result, a right-handed neutrino mass term of theformMRTR 2R is also a singlet of the SM. As a result,

    MR can take on any value and is usually assumed to be

    of the order of some GUT scale if the SM is embedded in

    a GUT group such asSO(10). To constrainMR, one has

    to endow the right-handed neutrinos with some quantum

    numbers. For example, ifR belongs to a 16ofSO(10) it

    is natural forMR to be of the order of theSO(10) break-

    ing scale. Another example is the left-right symmetric

    extension of the SM [12] whereR belongs to a doublet of

    SU(2)R. The aforementioned Majorana mass term would

    still be a singlet underSU(2)Lbut it is no longer so under

    SU(2)R. It is then natural thatMR MR ML, whereMR,L are the breaking scales ofS U(2)R andS U(2)L re-

    spectively. In all of these scenarios, the value of the Dirac

    mass mD in m2D/MR usually comes from the breaking

    of the SM SU(2)L and is naturally proportional to the

    electroweak breaking scale. The smallness of neutrino

    masses gives rise, without fine-tuning, to an energy gap

    mD O(EW) MR O(MGUT ) or O(MR). With-out fine-tuning, the large value ofMR O(MGUT ) wouldmake it practically impossible to detect the SM-singlet

    right-handed neutrinos at machines such as the LHC and

    to directly test the seesaw mechanism. However, in the L-

    R model, the production ofR can proceed first through

    the production ofWR as first shown in [13]. The feasibil-

    ity of such a process was discussed in [14]. (Other mech-

    anisms proposed to make the SM-singlet right-handed

    neutrinos accessible at the LHC through SM Ware dis-

    cussed in [15] although it might be very difficult to do so

    due to the size of the Dirac Yukawa coupling.)

    It is clear as presented in [4] that one of the natural and

    minimal ways (in terms of the gauge group) to test the

    seesaw mechanism and to detect the right-handed neu-trinos at colliders such as the LHC is to make the right-

    handed neutrinos non singletsunder the SM S U(2)L for

    two reasons. The first reason has to do with the mass

    scaleMR. IfRs are non-singlets underSU(2)LthenMRnecessarily comes from the breaking ofSU(2)Land there-

    fore would naturally be of the order of the electroweak

    scale. Energetically-speaking, it could be directly de-

    tected at the LHC [4]. The second reason has to do

    with the possible detection of Rs themselves. Being

    SU(2)L non-singlets, they can couple to the SM elec-

    troweak gauge bosons and the production cross sections

    would be naturally of the order of the electroweak cross

    sections [4].

    The simplest way to make RsS U(2)L non-singlets is

    to group them into SU(2)L right-handed doublets with

    the right-handed charged partners which are new chargedleptons with opposite chirality to the SM charged lep-

    tons. Anomaly freedom would necessitate the introduc-

    tion ofSU(2)L doublets of right-handed quarks. These

    new right-handed quarks and leptons are called mirror

    fermions in [4]. The right-handed quarks and charged

    leptons are accompanied by their left-handed partners

    which are SU(2)L singlets, a complete mirror image of

    the SM fermions, so mass terms can be formed by cou-

    pling to the Higgs doublet. TheSU(2)L U(1)Y fermioncontent of the EWRmodel of [4] is given, for each family,

    as follows.

    SU(2)L lepton doublets:

    SM :lL =

    LeL

    ; Mirror: lMR =

    ReMR

    (1)

    for the SM left-handed lepton doublet and for the

    right-handed mirror lepton doublet respectively.

    SU(2)L lepton singlets:

    SM :eR; Mirror: eML , (2)

    for the right-handed SM lepton singlet and left-

    handed mirror lepton singlet respectively.

    Similarly, for the quarks, we have

    SU(2)L quark doublets:

    SM :qL =

    uLdL

    ; Mirror: qMR =

    uMRdMR

    (3)

    for the SM left-handed quark doublet and for the

    right-handed mirror quark doublet respectively.

    SU(2)L quark singlets:

    SM :uR, dR; Mirror: uML , d

    ML (4)

    for the right-handed SM quark singlets and left-

    handed mirror quark singlets respectively.

    Apart from chiralities, the SU(2)L U(1)Y quantumnumbers of the mirror fermions are identical to those of

    the SM fermions. A remark is in order at this point.

    What we refer to as mirror fermions are the particles

    listed above and they are not to be confused with parti-

    cles in the literature which have similar names but which

    are entirely of a different kind. As the above listing

    shows, the mirror quarks and leptons are particles whichare differentfrom the SM ones. It is for this reason that

    a superscript M was used in [4] and here in order to

    avoid possible confusion. These chiral mirror fermions

    will necessarily contribute to the precision electroweak

    parameters and potentially could create disagreements

    unless contributions from other sectors are taken into ac-

    count. This will be the main focus of the next sections.

    As with the SM leptons, the interaction of mirror lep-

    tons with the SU(2)L U(1)Y gauge bosons are foundin the terms

    lMR /DlMR ; e

    ML

    /DeML , (5)

    where the covariant derivatives /D are the same as the

    ones used for the SM leptons and are listed explicitly in

    the Appendix C. The gauge interactions of the mirror

    quarks can similarly be found.

    We next review the salient point of the EWR model

    of [4]: The electroweak seesaw mechanism. For the sake

    of clarity, we repeat here the arguments given in [4].

    As discussed in [4], a Majorana mass term of the type

    MR

    TR

    2R

    necessarily breaks the electroweak gauge

    group. The reason is as follows. The bilinear l M,TR 2lMR

    containsTR2R and transforms underSU(2)L U(1)Yas (1+3, Y /2 = 1). For obvious reasons, the Higgs fieldwhich couples to this bilinear cannotbe an S U(2)L sin-

    glet with the quantum number (1, Y /2 = +1) since this

    singlet charged scalar cannot develop a VEV. This leaves

    the triplet Higgs field = (3, Y /2 = +1) as a suitable

    scalar which can couple to the aforementioned bilinear

    and whose neutral component can develop a VEV:

    =

    1

    2 .= 12

    + ++

    0 12

    + . (6)The Yukawa coupling of the bilinear to this Higgs field

    was given in [4] and is written down again here

    LM =gM(lM,TR 2) ( 2) lMR=gM(

    TR2R

    0 12

    TR2eMR

    + 12

    eM,TR 2R+

    +eM,TR 2eMR

    ++) , (7)

    From Eq.(7), one notices the Yukawa termgMTR2R

    0

    which upon having

    0 =vM, (8)

    gives rise to the right-handed Majorana mass

    MR = gMvM. (9)

    As it has been stressed in [4], MR is naturally of the

    order of the electroweak scale since vM O(EW) andis constrained to be larger than MZ/2 46 GeV becauseof the constraint coming from the width of the Z boson

    (no more than three light neutrinos). A triplet Higgs field

    with such a large vacuum expectation value will destroy

    the custodial symmetry value = 1 at tree level. A

    nice remedy for this problem was given in [4] and will be

    reviewed below.

    A Dirac mass term of the type LR comes from lLlMRwhich is 1 + 3 under SU(2)L. It was argued in [4] why

    a singlet scalar field is the appropriate choice and why

    a triplet is phenomenologically ruled out [16]. As in [4],

    the interaction with the singlet scalar is given as

    LS=gSllLSlMR +H.c.=gSl (LR+ eLe

    MR) S+ H.c. (10)

    With

    S =vS, (11)

    the neutrino Dirac mass is given by

    mD =gSlvS, (12)

    If gSl O(1), this implies that vS O(105 eV). Ithas been discussed in [4] that this value for vS is six

    orders of magnitude smaller then the electroweak scale

    EW and this hierarchy requires a cross coupling be-

    tween the singlet and the triplet scalars to be of or-

    der 1012. To evade this fine tuning, it was pro-posed in [4] that the classical singlet scalar field takes

    a value S(t0) (105 eV ) at the present time and itsvalue changes with time whose rate is dictated by a slow-

    rolling effective potential. It goes without saying thatmuch remains to be worked out for this scenario. Al-

    ternatively, one can assume that vS O(EW) and setgSl 107 as suggested in [6] to obtain a Dirac massof the desired order. (This is actually not so unnatural

    as the example of the electron mass being 107EWillustrates.)

    Eq.(7) gives a Majorana mass to the right-handed neu-

    trinos but one could easily have from gauge invariance

  • 8/12/2019 Nurstu 05-01-13 Revised 2

    5/43

    5

    a term such as gL(lTL2) ( 2 ) lL which would yield a

    large Majorana mass for the left-handed neutrinos unless

    fine-tuning is carried out.

    As discussed in [4], in order to guarantee that left-

    handed neutrinos have vanishing Majorana masses at tree

    level, a mirror global symmetry U(1)M was imposed:

    (lM

    R, eM

    L ) ei M

    (lM

    R, eM

    L ) , e2 i M

    , S ei M

    S,(13)

    for the mirror leptons and triplet and singlet scalars and

    (qMR , uML , d

    ML ) ei M(qMR , uML , dML ) , (14)

    for the mirror quarks. In [4], it was mentioned that the

    left-handed neutrinos can acquire a Majorana mass at

    one-loop of the type ML = 1

    162mD 2MR

    ln MRMS

    , where

    is theSquartic coupling. This is smaller than the light

    neutrino mass by at least two orders of magnitude and

    can be neglected.

    Beside preventing the left-handed neutrinos from ac-quiring a large tree-level Majorana mass, this U(1)Msymmetry also prevents terms such as qLqMR , uRu

    ML and

    dRdML . Therefore, as stressed in [4], any bilinear mixing

    between SM fermions and mirror fermions will have to

    couple with the singlet scalar S in order to be U(1)M-

    invariant at tree level, namely qLSqMR, uRSu

    ML and

    dRSdML . Because of these mixings between the two

    sectors, the mass eigenstates are not pure left-handed

    SM quarks or right-handed mirror quarks. This was dis-

    cussed in [4]. However, the deviation from the pure

    states, i.e. for example uL = uL + O(vS/EW)uM,cR , is

    proportional to vS/EW 106 and, for most practicalpurposes, one can neglect this mixing.

    To finish up with the review of the EWR model, we

    review the triplet scalar sector of [4]. Let us recall that

    the -parameter for arbitrary Higgs multiplets is given

    by = (

    i[T(T+ 1) T23 ]iv2i cT,Y)/(2

    iT23iv

    2i ), where

    cT,Y = 1 for complex multiplet and cT,Y = 1/2 for real

    multiplet [17]. If one just has the triplet and noth-

    ing else, one would obtain = 1/2 in contradiction with

    the fact that experimentally 1. Pure Higgs doubletswould give naturally = 1. A mixture with one tripletand one doublet would give 1 if the VEV of thetriplet,vM, is much less than that of the doublet, v2, i.e.

    vM v2. But this is not what we want since we wouldlike to have vM and v2 of O(EW). To preserve the

    custodial symmetry with a Higgs triplet, another triplet

    Higgs scalar = (3, Y /2 = 0) is needed in addition to

    the aforementioned (3, Y/2 = 1) and the usual doublet

    = (2, Y /2 = 1/2). The potential for these three scalar

    multiplets and its minimization is given in the Appendix.

    This potential possesses a global SU(2)L SU(2)R sym-metry under which the two triplets are combined into the

    following (3, 3) representation [7, 1820]:

    =

    0 + ++

    0 +

    0

    . (15)

    Similarly, and = 2 can be grouped into a (2, 2)

    representation:

    =

    0 +

    0

    . (16)

    Proper vacuum alignment so that SU(2)L U(1)Y U(1)em gives

    =

    vM 0 0

    0 vM 0

    0 0 vM , (17)and

    =

    v2/

    2 0

    0 v2/

    2

    . (18)

    This breaks the global SU(2)L SU(2)R down to thecustodial S U(2)D. One obtains MW =g v/2 and MZ=

    MW/ cos W, with v =

    v22+ 8 v2M 246 GeV and, at

    tree level, = MW/MZ cos W= 1 as desired.

    After spontaneous breaking ofSU(2)L U(1)Y, besidethe three Nambu-Goldstone bosons which are absorbedby W and Z, there are ten physical scalars which are

    grouped into 5 + 3 + 1 of the custodial SU(2)D. (In

    fact there are two singlets ofS U(2)D.) These states are

    discussed in the next section and in the Appendix B.

    Last but not least in this mini review is the question

    of charged fermion masses, in particular the top quark

    and mirror fermion masses. This is a topic on its own

    but a few words are in order here. It goes without say-

    ing that this interesting topic deserves a detailed inves-

    tigation but such endeavor is beyond the scope of this

    manuscript. Since v = v22+ 8 v2M 246 GeV, it is ev-ident thatv2, vM MZ/2, it

    follows thatvM 46 GeV for gM 1. This implies thatv2 209 GeV. Since naivelya charged fermion mass isgiven by (ignoring mixings in the mass matrix for now)

    mf = gfv2/

    2 gf 148 GeV, one expects a Yukawa

    6

    coupling gt 1.2 for the top quark. This coupling canactually be even smaller if the SM quark mass matrix is

    of the democratic type i.e. having all matrix elements

    being equal to 1 [21]. (A more realistic version differs

    slightly from this one.) The largest mass eigenvalue in

    such a model is 3 gf148 GeV giving gt 0.4. Forvery heavy mirror quarks, the Yukawa couplings might

    be larger but one may use a less restrictive definitionof strong coupling, namely f g2f/4 O(1). Fromthat point of view, a value of gf 2or3 might not beproblematic. There is also an interesting twist in the

    situation when the Yukawa couplings become large: A

    possibility that the electroweak symmetry can be broken

    dynamically by condensates of heavy fermions through

    the exchange of a fundamental scalar as it has been done

    for a heavy fourth generation [22].

    III. OBLIQUE PARAMETERS

    As we have mentioned in the introduction, the contri-

    butions to the S parameter coming from the extra mirror

    fermions will be positive and will exceed the constraints

    imposed by electroweak precision data. These contri-

    butions will have to be cancelled by those coming from

    another sector such as the triplet Higgs present in the

    EWR model. This has been suggested in [4]. In this

    section, we carry out a detailed calculation of the elec-

    troweak precision parameters, the so-called oblique pa-

    rameters, within the framework of the EWR model.In Appendix B, we summarize the discussion of the

    minimization of the scalar potential given by Eq.(B1).

    In what follows, we list the expressions for the physical

    states and for the Nambu-Goldstone bosons in terms of

    the original scalar fields.

    Physical observables like the oblique parameters are

    to be expressed using the masses of physical scalars. To

    express these physical states we use the subsidiary fields

    [7]:

    0 12v2+0r + 0,

    0 vM+ 12

    0r + 0

    ; (19)

    12

    +

    , 1

    2

    (20)

    for the complex neutral and charged fields respectively.

    With these fields the Nambu-Goldstone bosons are given

    by

    G3 =cH+sH,

    G03=

    cH0 +sH0

    . (21)

    The scalar potential in Eq. (B1) preserves the custodial

    SU(2)D. Hence, the physical scalars can be grouped, as

    stated in the previous section, based on their transfor-mation properties under S U(2)D as follows:

    five-plet (quintet) H5 , H5 , H05 ;

    triplet H3 , H03 ;

    two singlets H01 , H01 , (22)where

    H++5 =++, H+5 =

    +, H+3 =cH+ sH+,

    H0

    5 =

    1

    620 20r, H03 = cH0 +sH0,H01 =

    0r, H01 = 1

    3

    20r +0

    , (23)

    with H5 = (H++5 )

    , H5 =(H+5), H3 =(H+3 ),and H03 =(H03 ). The oblique parameters, the Feyn-man rules and the loop diagrams will be expressed in

    terms of these physical scalar five-plet, triplet, two scalars

    and their masses, mH,,05

    , mH,03

    , mH1 , mH1 respec-

    tively. We will also use

    sH= sin H=2

    2vMv , cH= cos H=

    v2v (24)

    The effects of vacuum polarization diagrams (oblique

    corrections) on the electroweak-interaction observables

    can be described by three finite parameters S, T and

    U, known as the Oblique Parameters. Using these pa-

    rameters one could probe the effects of new Physics on

    the electroweak interactions at the one-loop level, if the

    new Physics scale is much larger as compared to MZ[2325]. Hence, these parameters can be defined using

    perturbative expansion as [23]:

    S 4e2[33(0) 3Q(0)],

    T e2

    s2Wc2WM

    2Z

    [11(0) 33(0)],

    U 4e2[11(0) 33(0)] , (25)where sW = sin W, cW = cos W are the functions

    of the weak-mixing angle W. 11 and 33 are the

    vacuum polarizations of the isospin currents and 3Q

    the vacuum polarization of one isospin and one elec-

    tromagnetic current. The functions are defined as(0) =

    (q2) (0) /q2 in general, and we will be

    using q2 =M2Z.

    These parameters can be expressed in terms of the self-

    energies of the W, Z and bosons and the Z mixing

    [23]. For the purpose of the EWR model the constraints

    on the new Physics in EWR model from S,T,Ucan be

    obtained by subtracting the the Standard Model (SM)

    contributions to S, T, U from the corresponding total

    contributions due to the EWR model. Hence, the new

    Physics contributions to theS,T,Udue to EWRmodel

    are denoted by

    S,

    T,

    U respectively (following notation

    used in [26]) and they can be expressed as

    where all quantities with a hat on top ( ) i.e.sW,cW, g2s2W/(4) are defined in theM Sscheme evaluatedat MZ [24]. Hereafter, in this article the hats on top of

    these and other quantities are omitted, but implied. The

    notation (q2) = (q2) (0) [23] and the superscriptEWRdenotes the contribution due to EWRmodel. We

    can see that Sis associated with the difference between

    the Z self-energy at q2 = M2Z and q2 = 0. T is propor-

    tional to the difference between W and Z self-energies

    at q2 = 0. The new physics contribution to U in EWRmodel is small as compared to that to S and T. Also,

    this contribution is constrained only by mass, MW, and

    width, W, ofWboson. Thus, we can project the S T U

    parameter space on 2-D ST parameter space in U = 0

    plane. Hence, in the this paper our emphasis will be on

    constraints on the S and Tparameters only. The steps

    in the derivations of the new Physics contributions to S

    andTare provided in the Appendix D. The new Physics

    contributions to S, T from the scalar sector in EWRmodel (denoted bySscalar,Tscalar respectively) and thecontributions from the mirror fermion sector in EWRmodel (denoted bySfermion,Tfermion respectively) arecalculated separately and then added to obtain the to-

    tal new Physics contributions in EWR model, contribu-

    tionsS,T. Note that the scalar sector contributions andmirror fermion sector contributions in EWR model are

    separately finite. Thus,

    S=Sscalar+Sfermion (29)T =Tscalar+Tfermion. (30)The contribution to Sby the new Physics due to the

    scalar sector of the EWR model is given by

    Subscripts i and ei represent right-handed neutrino

    IV. NUMERICAL RESULTS

    In this section we will study numerically the results

    presented in Section III and is organized as follows. First,

    we present unconstrained scatter plots for the S and T

    parameters coming from the mirror fermion sector and

    from the scalar sector. These scatter plots are given in

    the T-Splane for the scalar and mirror fermion sectorsseparately. The main desire is to observe possible regions

    where the two sectors can cancel each other. Second, we

    generate the scatter plots for T and Sfor the scalar sec-

    tor as a function of the mass splittings among the scalars.

    In particular, we will notice below there is a significant

    region in the parameter space where Scan be quite neg-

    ative if the mass splitting between the doubly-charged

    scalar with the other ones is large. Third, we combine two

    sectors and plot the scatter points of the EWR model

    in the T-S plane endowed with the 1 and 2 ellipses

    coming from experiment. It is shown below that themodel is well consistent with precision electroweak data.

    Fourth, as an example (and simply as an example), we

    fix the values of some of the scalar masses and present

    a 3-dimensional plot ofSscalar versus the mass splittings

    among members of the quintet and among members of

    the triplet.

    A. Unconstrained S and T parameters for the

    mirror fermion and scalar sectors

    The S and T parameters as shown in Section III de-

    pend on a number of parameters such as the masses of

    the scalars as well as the mixing parameter sin Has de-

    fined in Section III, and the masses of the new fermions

    from the model. For simplicity, we allow for the scalar

    masses to go from MZto 650 GeV and for sin H to go

    from 0.1 to 0.89 as discussed in [7] (we stretch the lower

    value to 0.1 for numerical purpose). The right handed

    neutrino masses are taken from MZ/2 to 650 GeV, while

    the mirror charged lepton and mirror quark masses vary

    from MZto 650 GeV. The scatter plots are generated

    with about 10,000 points. We first show these plots as

    they are before discussing their implications. The elec-

    troweak precision constraints which we will be using are

    given as S=0.02 0.14; T = 0.06 0.14 [24] for SMHiggs mass of 126 GeV.

    We will present the plots as follows:

    FIG. 4. T versus

    S for the mirror fermion sector with the 1and 2 experimental contours

    Before showing the combined scalar and mirror fermion

    contributions to T and S, a few remarks are in order at

    this point. The plots FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 shows the re-

    gions in the T-Splane which are unconstrained by the

    electroweak precision data. Let us look at the Sparame-

    ter. From FIG. 2, one can see that the contribution to S

  • 8/12/2019 Nurstu 05-01-13 Revised 2

    11/43

    11

    from the mirror fermion sector is almost always positive

    and can be quite large. This is to be expected since the

    addition of extra chiral doublets (the mirror fermions)

    always leads to such a phenomenon- a well-known fact.

    Cancellations from other contributions with the opposite

    sign will be needed in order to agree with the electroweak

    precision constraints. A look at FIG. 1 reveals that that

    the contribution to S coming from the scalar sector, inparticular the Higgs triplet sectors, can be quite nega-

    tive allowing for such cancellation to occur. This has

    been anticipated in [4] but this is the first detailed calcu-

    lations of such a contribution to the electroweak precision

    parameters.

    To see a little more explicitly why the two sectors com-

    plement each other in such a way as to bring the EWRmodel to be in agreement with the electroweak precision

    data, let us take a look at FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. From

    FIG. 3, we can see that the 1 and 2 experimental con-

    tours are well inside the region generated by the scalars

    of the EWR model. However, these contours are way

    outside the region generated by the mirror fermions of

    the model. Again, one notices the importance of the

    scalar sector in bringing the EWR into agreement with

    the electroweak precision data.

    B. Constrained S and T parameters

    To compare the model with data, we, of course, con-

    sider the total sum of the two contributions, namely

    S= SS+ SMF and T= TS+ TMF . This is shown below

    in a plot which also includes the 1 and 2 experimental

    contours.

    One can now see from FIG. 5 that the sum of the scalar

    and mirror fermion contributions to T and Sgenerates

    data pointsinsidethe 1 and 2experimental contours.

    It implies that there is a large region of parameter space

    where the EWR model is consistent with electroweak

    precision constraints. One notices again the crucial role

    played by the triplet scalars.

    To understand better the data points in FIG. 5, we

    plot the constrained SS versus SMF as shown below.

    their contributions to T and S. At the 1 level, one can

    see from FIG. 6 that the scalar contribution, SS, ranges

    roughly from 0 to -0.3.

    constraints of FIG. 5

    These plots should be considered, because in EWRmodel various couplings and, hence, branching ratios and

    cross sections (e.g. Eq. (37)) depend onH[7, 28]. Thus,

    it is necessary to take into account any constraint on

    sin H from oblique parameters. Any restriction on the

    allowed range of sin H, from constraints on S, T, would

    surely affect the agreement of the model with experimen-

    tal data and the searches for experimental signals of this

    model. From FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, we notice that the

    EWR model agrees with electroweak precision data for

    the entire allowed range of sin H.

    The next question that one might wish to ask is how

    the above informations influence the masses and mass

    splittings in the scalar sector. In the next section, we

    will show some samples of three-dimensional plots ofSSand TS versus the mass splittings in the scalar quintet

    and triplet (i.e. H5 and H3). Some specific mass values

    are used in these plots for the purpose of illustration. An

    exhaustive study of a large range of masses is beyond the

    scope of this paper.

    C. SS and TS versus scalar mass splittings

    When the custodial symmetry is preserved at tree level,

    all the masses of scalars within a multiplet (SU(2)Dquin-

    tet, triplet in EWR model, refer to Appendix B) are

    degenerate for the purpose of all tree level calculations.

    However, at loop level the custodial symmetry can be

    broken and the physical scalars within a multiplet can

    13

    have non-degenerate masses. It means, when we con-

    sider the radiative corrections to self energy diagrams of

    gauge vector bosons from the scalar sector, it is allowed

    to have non-degenerate masses of scalars within a mul-

    tiplet. It not problematic, if these mass splittings result

    in large|

    SS|,|

    TS| as long as the total

    S,

    T satisfy the

    experimental constraints. The effect of mass splittings

    within scalar and fermion multiplets on Sparameter wasdiscussed in [29]. And forTparameter, it can be realized

    in the same manner.

    The experimental searches for the scalars presented in

    [4, 7] will be guided partly by the mass splittings among

    the scalars. These, in turn, are dictated by the elec-

    troweak precision constraints discussed above. In fact,

    the amount of mass splittings is constrained by e.g. the

    allowed ranges ofSS, TS which, at 1 level, range ap-

    proximately from 0 to -0.3 and from 0 to 4, respectively.We will present a few of these plots and will comment on

    their implications.

    Plots: The 3-D plots shown below will be for twodefinite values of sin H, namely 0.1 and 0.89, in

    order to illustrate also the dependance ofSS and

    TSon sin H. As mentioned above, an exhaustive

    analysis for arbitrary scalar masses is beyond the

    scope of this paper. As a consequence, we will fix

    Remarks :

    In the above figures, arbitrary values are cho-

    sen (for the purpose of illustration) for the two

    scalars H1 and H

    1 , namely mH1 = 600 GeV

    and mH1

    = 100, 500, 650 GeV. The reasons

    for these particular- albeit arbitrary- values

    will be given below.

    The value of 126 GeV was set for H03 in the

    plots also for illustrative purpose. In the nextsection, we will discuss what the most recent

    LHC result on the spin-parity of the 126 GeV

    object implies on the minimal EWR model

    and what extension is needed in the scalar sec-

    tor.

    A look at FIG. 10 - FIG. 13 reveals the follow-

    ing pattern. SSbecomes more negative as the

    mass of the doubly-charged scalar, H++5 , goes

    from 200 GeV to 500 GeV. It also becomes

    more negative as one increases sin Hfrom 0.1

    to 0.89.

    For sin H = 0.1 (FIG. 10 and FIG. 11) , we

    notice that SSdecreases, becoming more neg-

    ative, when mass splittings between H+3 and

    H03 AND between H+5 and H

    05 become simi-

    lar. This features persists until SSreaches its

    lowest value where it stays stable along the

    linemH+5

    mH05

    1 mH+3

    mH03

    1. This implies that

    SS reaches its most negative value when the

    mass splittings among H5s and among H3s

    are similar.

    For sin H = 0.89, SS decreases, becoming

    more negative, whenH+5 andH05 become more

    and more degenerate whileH+3 becomes heav-

    ier and heavier compared withH03 . This is in

    marked contrast with the sin H= 0.1 case.

    If one restricts oneself to the 1 constraint,

    namely SS 0.0 to 0.3, then FIGs. 10, 11and 12 seem to be favored.

    FIG. 14 - FIG. 17 reveal that the dependence

    ofTSon the mass splittings is different with

    that ofSS.

    For sin H= 0.1 (FIG. 14 and FIG. 15), with

    particular choice of mH1

    = 500 GeV, TS be-

    comes more negative for large mass splitting

    within the triplet, and small mass splitting be-

    tweenH+5 andH05 .

    For sin H = 0.89 (FIG. 16 and FIG. 17), we

    choose mH1

    = 650 GeV. The low value re-

    gions ofTS correspond to 1 < X < 4 and

    0 < Y < 1. And, noticeably, TStends to be

    more negative as mH++5

    approaches mH05

    .

    The above observations are very useful in the search

    for signals of the EWR model, in particular its

    scalar sector in light of recent results from the LHC.

    We shall discuss this aspect in the next section deal-

    ing with experimental implications.

    V. SOME EXPERIMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

    As we have seen in the above discussions, the EWRmodel contains a large region of parameter space which

    agreeswith the electroweak precision data and thus has

    passed the first (indirect) test. The next test would be

    direct observations of the signatures coming from the

    new particles of the model: The mirror quarks and lep-tons and the scalars. Some of such signatures have been

    suggested in [4] such as like-sign dileptons as a sign of

    lepton number violation coming from the decay of the

    Majorana right-handed neutrinos. As mentioned in [4],

    this would be the high-energy equivalent of neutrino-less

    double beta decay. This signal and those of other mir-

    ror quarks and leptons will be presented in a separate

    publication.

    The scalar sector of the EWR model has been studied

    in some details in [7]. In light of the new LHC results, it

    is timely to update the status of this sector. In particular,

    the question that one may ask is the following: What are

    the implications of the above analysis on the masses of

    the scalars and their couplings to fermions? Several of

    these issues will be presented in a follow-up paper on the

    126 GeV scalar but it is important to set the foundationfor that paper here.

    In terms of the minimal EWR model discussed in this

    manuscript, one is most interested at this point in the

    neutral scalars given in Eq. 23. Furthermore, the 126-

    GeV object appears to be consistent, in terms produc-

    tion and decays, with the SM Higgs boson which is a 0+

    particle [30]. Although recent data on the spin-parity

    [31] seemed to disfavor the 126-GeV object as a 0 par-ticle and is more consistent with the 0+ interpretation,

    it did not completely rule out the 0 possibility. In con-sequence, we will keep an open mind. As seen in Eq. 23,

    there are four neutral states: H05 ,H03 ,H

    01 andH

    01 . Since

    the triplet scalars and do not couple to SM and mir-

    ror quarks while the doublet does, one can see from

    Eq. 23 that onlyH03 andH01 could be candidates for the

    126 GeV object. However, a close look at the production

    cross section reveals that, parity aside, only H03 fits the

    bill. We summarize here some of the details which will

    be given in full in [28].

    The dominant production mechanism for the afore-

    mentioned scalars is through gluon fusion. As a result,

    one should know the couplings ofH03 andH01 to the SM

    and mirror quarks. For H01 , the coupling to SM and

    mirror quarks is given generically as gH01

    q q = mqg2mWcHwhere qrepresents SM and mirror quarks and cH is an

    abbreviation for cos H. This is greater than the SM

    coupling by the factor 1/ cos H. Furthermore, the gluon-

    fusion cross section is now proportional the square of the

    number of heavy quarks, namely (7)2 = 49 where we

    count the top quark and the six mirror quarks. As a re-

    sult, EW R 49 SM. This is evidently not acceptable.As a consequence, to be consistent with the LHC data,

    H01 will have to be heavier than 600GeV.We are left with H03 . From [ 7, 32], one c an

    find its coupling to the SM and mirror quarks

    as follows: gH03

    tt = + mtg2mW

    tan H5, gH03

    bb =

    mbg2mW

    tan H5, gH03

    uMuM = muMg2mW tan H5,gH0

    3dMdM = +

    mdM

    g

    2mWtan H5. Notice that the pseudo

    scalar H03 contains the imaginary part of0 which cou-

    ples to the up and down quarks with opposite signs. This

    fact reflects in the above sign differences in the couplings.

    The amplitude for the gluon fusion production ofH03 in-

    volves a triangle loop denoted by I which depends on

    rq = m2q /m

    2H03

    (q stands for any of the quarks). I 1when rq 1 and I 0 when rq 1. It is well-knownfrom the behavior ofIthat the gluon fusion production

    of the SM Higgs boson is dominated by the top quark

    loop. In our case, in addition to the top quark, we havethe mirror quarks which are assumed to be heavier than

    H03 and hence rt, rqM 1. However, H03 is a pseudoscalar and, as we have seen above, the mirror up-quark

    loop cancels that of the mirror down-quark loop because

    both quarks are heavy so that rqM 1 and becausetheir couplings to H03 have opposite signs. This means

    that IuM +IdM 0. As a consequence, again only thetop quark loop contributes. Details will be given in

    [28]. Here we just quote the result. Because of the afore-

    mentioned cancellation in the mirror quark sector, the

    production cross section for H03 is

    H03

    = tan2 HHSM (37)

    If we assume that the various branching ratios for the

    H03 decays are comparable to those of the SM, one can

    see from Eq. 37 that H03

    HSM if tan H 1 orsin H 0.707 which is well inside our allowed rangeas shown in FIG. 8. The only hitch is that the par-

    ity measurement seems to disfavor this interpretation ata 2 3 level but does not rule out completely thepseudo scalar interpretation. As a consequence, we will

    keep an open mind regarding this possibility. In [28] we

    also present a simple extension of the EWRmodel which

    can accommodate the SM-like 0+ scalar as an interpre-

    tation of the 126 GeV object.

    Last but not least are the direct searches for mir-

    ror fermions. In [4], it was mentioned that one of the

    most tell-tale signs of the EWR is the production at the

    LHC and the decays of Rs which are Majorana par-ticles and are their own antiparticles through the sub-

    process q+ q R + R eM+W+ +eM+W+ e+ S+W+ +e+ S+W+, where e stands for ageneric charged lepton. These like-sign dileptons events

    would be the high-energy equivalent of the low-energy

    neutrino less double beta decay as emphasized in [4]. A

    detailed study of this and other processes involving mir-

    ror fermions is under investigation [8].

    VI. CONCLUSION

    The assumption that right-handed neutrinos are non-

    singletsunder S U(2) U(1) as proposed in [4] is a veryreasonable one which can be tested experimentally. The

    EWR model preserves the gauge structure of the SM

    but enriches it with mirror fermions and Higgs triplets.

    The price paid might be considered to be minimal con-

    sidering the fact that the EWR of [4] links the nature

    of right-handed neutrinos -and hence the energy scale of

    its Majorana mass- to details of the electroweak symme-

    try breaking. In addition, these aspects can be tested

    experimentally.

    The first of such tests is the electroweak precision con-

    straints. We have shown in this paper how the EWRmodel has a non-negligible range of parameter space to

    fit the constraints ( see Fig. 5) on the oblique parame-

    ters S and T despite the presence of right-handed mir-ror quarks and leptons which by themselves alone would

    make a large positive contribution to the S parameter.

    We have shown in details how the scalar sector, in partic-

    ular the Higgs triplet fields, dramatically avoids this po-

    tential disaster by making negative contributions which

    offset those of the mirror fermions and thus bringing the

    EWR model in agreement with the electroweak preci-

    sion data. We have shown also how mass splittings, in

    particular those of the scalar sector, affect the values

    of the oblique parameters such as S whose constraints

    in turn have interesting implications of those splittingsthemselves. This aspect would eventually be very use-

    ful in the search for the scalars of the model. The mass

    splittings of the mirror fermion sector can be straightfor-

    wardly computed as a function of the mass splittings in

    the scalar sector.

    The next test of the model would be signatures and

    searches for the mirror quarks and leptons and for the

    additional scalars. Of immediate interest for the EWR(and for other BSM models as well) is the discovery of

    the SM-like boson with a mass of 126 GeV. This discov-

    ery puts a very strong constraint on any BSM model.What the EWR model has to say about this 126 GeV

    object has been briefly discussed above and will be pre-

    sented in detail in [28]. Basically, the minimal EWRmodel contains a pseudo-scalar,H03 , which could in prin-

    ciple be a candidate whose production cross section can

    be comparable to that for a SM Higgs boson with the

    same mass with a choice of the angle Hwell within the

    allowed range discussed above. However, the spin-parity

    measurement [31] seemed to disfavor, but not completely

    ruling out, the interpretation of the 126 GeV object as a

    0 particle while the SM-like 0+ seems to be favored.Until more data come out to completely rule out the

    pseudo-scalar interpretation, we will keep an open mind

    however. Nevertheless, [28] presents a minimal extension

    of the EWR model where the presence of an additional

    0+ state can act like a SM Higgs boson. Needless to say,one expects several scalars beyond the 126 GeV boson to

    be present in the model. A phenomenological study of

    the scalar sector of the EWR model has been performed

    [7] and it goes without saying that more studies of this

    sector are needed. The input from the electroweak pre-

    cision constraints will be valuable in a new study of this

    sector.

    One of the key points of the EWRmodel was the pro-

    duction and detection of electroweak-scale right-handed

    neutrinos through lepton-number violating signals such

    as like-sign dilepton events at the LHC [4] which repre-sent the high-energy equivalent of the low-energy neu-

    trino less double-beta decay. One could imagine that,

    after taking care of the SM background, it would be a

    much easier process to detect. This signal and others

    related to searches for mirror quarks and leptons will be

    presented in [8].

    Appendix A: Loop Integrals and Functions

    Different contributions to the oblique parameters are

    expressed using loop integrals like A0, B0, B22, B1, B2.

    and functions like F, G, etc. Therefore, it is very impor-tant to define all the loop integrals and functions we have

    used in the calculations of different loop diagrams before

    listing contributions from loop diagrams and details of

    the calculations of the oblique parameters.

    For calculation of oblique parameters we need the loop

    diagrams with two external vector bosons. These dia-

    grams have a general form

    = Ag+ B qq (A1)

    For the purpose of oblique parameters we only need the

    g term in this equation. Hence, hereafter in this paper

    denotes only the first term on RHS above.

    Loop diagrams involving one or two internal scalars or

    one or two internal fermions appear in the calculation of

    one-loop vector boson self-energy diagrams and Z - dia-

    grams. Following loop integrals appear in the calculation

    of loops with scalar particles [27]:

    The expansion of LHS in the latter equation also has

    term with qq[27], but this term is omitted as it does

    not contribute to the oblique parameters [23].

    Following [27], in the dimensional regularization these

    integrals can be simplified to

    be calculated numerically up to desired accuracy. Note

    that these equations involve the logarithm of a dimen-

    sionful quantity,Xand the scale of this logarithm is hid-

    den in the 2/(4 d) term in (refer to section 7.5 of

    [33]). It is useful, especially in derivingTscalar in eqn.(32), to note that [34]

    Note that

    F(m21, m22) = F(m22, m21) . (A13)

    Also notice that

    B22(q2; m21, m

    22) = B22(q

    2; m22, m21)

    B0(q2; m21, m

    22) = B0(q

    2; m22, m21). (A14)

    While evaluating the fermion loops which contribute to

    the oblique parameters following two-point loop integrals

    are useful (refer section 21.3 of [33]):

    B1(q2; m21, m

    22) =

    B2(q2; m21, m22) = 10

    dx x(1 x)lnX M2 , (A16)where X is as defined in eqn. (A8). The logarithms in

    these integrals involve a mass scale M. All the terms,

    which depend on this scale cancel while evaluating the

    final expressions for oblique parameters. For m1= m2=

    mand q2 =M2Z,

    Using the loop integrals and functions defined and en-

    listed in this appendix we can derive the expressions for

    the oblique parameters, which are suitable for the numer-

    ical analysis.

    Appendix B: Gauge Couplings of Higgs in EWR

    model

    In this appendix we derive the cubic and quartic cou-

    plings of the Higgs in EWRmodel with the electroweak

    gauge bosons. We start with the scalar fields and

    in the EWR model, get the physical scalar states from

    a generic potential with a global S U(2)L SU(2)R sym-metry, and which after spontaneous symmetry breaking

    preservesSU(2)D custodial symmetry. Then we derive

    the gauge couplings of the physical scalar states from the

    kinetic part of the scalar Lagrangian in EWR model.

    We work in the t Hooft Feynman gauge (gauge param-

    eter, gauge = 1) throughout the calculations in this ap-pendix and all the appendices, which follow. To calcu-

    late the new Physics contributions due to EWR model

    to the oblique parameters we also need the correspond-

    ing contributions from SM (refer to equations (26, 27,

    28)). Therefore, in this section we also list the related

    SM couplings.

    The most general scalar potential for and that

    preserves global S U(2)L SU(2)R is given by [7, 18]:

    V(, ) = 1T r v22

    2

    +2T r 3v2M

    2

    +3

    T r v22+ T r 3v2M2

    +4

    (T r) (T r)

    2 (T r a

    2

    b

    2) (T rTaTb)

    +5

    3T r (T r)2

    (B1)

    where repeated indices a, b are summed over. Note that

    this potential is invariant under so that thecubic terms in the potential are eliminated. In order for

    this potential to be positive semidefinite the following

    conditions must be imposed: 1+2+ 23> 0, 12+

    13+23> 0, 4> 0, 5> 0.

    At the minimum of this potential, the vacuum align-

    ment in eqs. (17, 18) breaks the global SU(2)L SU(2)Rdown to the custodial SU(2)D. One obtainsMW =g v/2

    and MZ = MW/ cos W, with v =

    v22+ 8 v

    2M

    246 GeVand, at tree level, = MW/MZ cos W= 1 as

    desired (this confirms that SU(2)D custodial is, indeed,

    preserved at the tree level).

    After spontaneous breaking ofSU(2)LU(1)Y, besidesthe three Nambu-Goldstone bosons which are absorbed

    by W and Z, there are ten physical scalars which are

    grouped into 5 + 3 + 1 (2 singlets) of the custodial

    SU(2)D. These Nambu-Goldstone bosons and physical

    scalars are given in eqns. (21), (23) respectively. Themasses of the physical scalars are given as:

    m2H,,05

    =m25= 3 (4c2H+ 5s

    2H)

    m2H,05

    =m23= 4v2 . (B2)

    The two singlets H01 and H01 can mix according to the

    mass-squared matrix given as:

    M2H01

    , H01

    =v2

    8c2H(1+3) 2

    6sHcH3

    2

    6sHcH3 3s2H(2+3)

    (B3)

    The oblique parameters, the Feynman rules and the loop

    diagrams are expressed in terms of the VEVs of the dou-

    blet and triplets, and the masses of the physical scalars-

    mH,,05

    , mH,03

    , m1, mH1

    .

    The gauge couplings of the physical scalars can be ob-

    tained from the kinetic part of the scalar Lagrangian in

    EWR model [7, 19, 32]:

    (LSEWR )kin =1

    The notation (LSEWR )kin is used to denote the kineticpart (denoted by subscript kin) of the Higgs Lagrangian

    (denoted by subscript S for Scalar) in EWR model

    (denoted by EW R in the subscript). Here, andare

    used in their 2 2 and 3 3 representations respectively,as given in equations (15, 16); S is the neutral SU(2)

    singlet scalar in EWR model and

    D + g(W t) gBt3 (B6)

    The i/2 and ti are the 2 2 and 3 3 representationmatrices of the SU(2) generators respectively, following

    reference [32].

    We work under the premise that the hierarchy in neu-

    trino masses in EWR model comes from the VEV ofS.

    Thus, vS 105

    eV and as a result the mixing betweenS and other scalars in negligible. Hence, hereafter in

    the related calculations we neglect this mixing, unless

    otherwise is stated. After the spontaneous breaking of

    SU(2)L U(1)Y to U(1)EM, expanding the Lagrangianin equation (B4), one can find the Feynman rules for the

    three point and four point interactions between physical

    scalars, Nambu-Goldstone bosons and electroweak gauge

    bosonsW,Zand. For the corresponding SM Feynman

    rules it is useful to recall the kinetic part of the SM-Higgs

    Lagrangian:

    (LSSM)kin = 12 T r

    (D)(D)

    (B7)

    The resulting Feynman rules in EWR model and SM are

    listed in tables (I, II, III and IV) below.

    Appendix C: Gauge Couplings of mirror fermions in

    EWR model

    In this appendix we start with the fermion content

    of the EWR model and derive the electroweak gauge

    couplings of these fermions from the Lagrangian. The

    SU(2)L U(1)Y fermion content of the EWR model of[4] is given in eqns. (1), (2), (3), (4).

    The interaction of mirror leptons with the SU(2)LU(1)Ygauge bosons are found in the terms

    lMR /DlMR ; e

    ML

    /DeML , (C1)

    where

    /DlMR ( 1

    2 g(W ) +1

    2 gB)lMR ,

    /DeMe (+ gB)eML . (C2)

    The gauge interactions for mirror quarks can similarly be

    found. Thus, the Feynman rules for the gauge interac-

    tions for fermions (Sm fermions and mirror fermions) inthe EWR model can be evaluated from

    (LFEWR )int = (LFSM)int+ (LFM)int , (C3)

    where (LFSM)int comes from the fermion-sector in theStandard Model (and is well known) and (LFM)intincludes interaction terms arising due to the mirror

    fermion-sector in EWR model. (LFSM)int is well knownto be [33] To write the mirror fermions part (LFM)intremember that the W bosons couple only to SU(2)

    doublets of fermions. Thus only right-handed mirror

    fermions couple to the W, as opposed to (LFSM)int,where only left-handed SM fermions interact with the

    W bosons. Similarly the three-point couplings of theright-handed mirror fermions with Z and bosons at

    the tree-level are same as those for the left-handed SM

    fermions. Hence, (LFM)int, is given by

    (LFM)int = g

    (uMi and dMi ) denote the (up- and the down-) members

    of a mirror-quark generation respectively. Following a

    similar notation (Ri and eMi ) denote (the neutrino and

    the electron) members of a mirror-lepton generation re-

    spectively.

    All the tree-level interactions calculated from equation

    (C4) can be tabulated in a compact form as given in ta-

    ble (V). Corresponding SM interactions can be similarly

    calculated from equation (LFSM)int.In this paper we will not consider the mixings between

    different quark and lepton generations or mirror-quarks

    and mirror-lepton generations. Thus, the CKM, PMNS

    matrices and also mirror-CKM and mirror-PMNS ma-

    trices are identity. Since we are looking at wide ranges

    of mirror fermions masses, which satisfy the experimen-

    tal constraints from the oblique parameters, slight devi-

    ations of mirror-CKM and mirror-PMNS matrices from

    identity matrix will only move individual points in the

    available paramter space, but will not affect significantly

    the total available parameter space (refer to the plots in

    section IV).

    Appendix D: Calculation of One Loop Contributions

    to Oblique Parameters in EWR model

    The one loop contributions to the oblique parameters

    in EWR model can be calculated from the cubic and

    quartic couplings listed in Appendix B and C and using

    the loop integral functions illustrated in Appendix A.

    The SM loop diagrams contributing to S, T, U can be

    similarly obtained from the SM cubic and quartic cou-

    plings in equations (B7), (LFSM)int and using loop in-tegrals from Appendix A. Hereafter, the focus of cal-

    culations will be on S and T parameters. The new

    Physics contributions to S from the scalar sector andmirror fermion sector in EWR model will be calculated

    separately and then added to find the total contributionS (eqn. (26)). Similary procedure will be followed tocalculateT (eqn. (27)). Thus, as in eqns. (29), (30),

    S=Sscalar+Sfermion,T=Tscalar+Tfermion.Recall (eqn. (26)) that the contributions toScome fromZ and self-energies, Zmixing, each calculated up to

    one-loop level. To evaluateT using equation (27) theisospin current 11 and electromagnetic current 33 areused. The W and Z self-energies are related to these

    Using these relations 11 can be obtained from the loop

    contributions to W W listed in tables VI, VIII, IX. From

    equation (D1) the one-loop contributions to 33 can be

    obtained using limg0

    (ZZ). These contributions are listed

    below, separately from ZZfor scalar as well as fermion

    sectors in EWR model.

    1. One Loop Contributions toSscalar andTscalar

    In this subsection the one-loop contributions to

    Sscalar

    andTscalar are listed. In every table the loop contribu-tions in EWR model are listed first and then the corre-

    sponding contributions in SM are also listed. The one-

    loop diagrams, which contribute toSscalar can be foundin tables VI, VIII, IX, XI, VII, X below. To calculateTscalar, 11 contributions from scalar sector in EWRmodel can be obtained from contributions to W W listed

    in tables VI, VIII, IX. The scalar-loop diagrams con-

    tributing to 33 are listed in tables XII, XIV, XIII.
