Seesaw Mechanism Confronting PAMELA in S_4 Flavor Symmetric Extra U(1) Model
We study cosmic-ray anomaly observed by PAMELA based on E_6 inspired extra U(1) model with S_4 flavor symmetry. In our model, the lightest flavon has very long lifetime of O(10^18) second which is longer than the age of the universe, but not long enough to explain the PAMELA result O(10^26) sec. Suc...

Zusammenfassung: | We study cosmic-ray anomaly observed by PAMELA based on E_6 inspired extra
U(1) model with S_4 flavor symmetry. In our model, the lightest flavon has very
long lifetime of O(10^18) second which is longer than the age of the universe,
but not long enough to explain the PAMELA result O(10^26) sec. Such a situation
could be avoidable by considering that the flavon is not the dominant component
of dark matters. However non-thermalizing the flavon is needed to obtain proper
relic density. This relates reheating temperature of the universe with seesaw
mass scale. If we assume this flavon is a particle decaying into positron (or
electron), the seesaw mass scale is constrained by reheating temperature. Thus
we find an interesting result that the allowed region is around O(10^12) GeV,
which is consistent with our original result. |
