Abstract:
We construct a simple SO(10) SUSY GUT with D3D_3 family symmetry and low energy R parity. The model describes fermion mass matrices with 14 parameters and gives excellent fits to 20 observable masses and mixing angles in both quark and lepton sectors, giving 6 predictions. Bi-large neutrino mixing is obtained with hierarchical quark and lepton Yukawa matrices: thus avoiding the possibility of large lepton flavor violation. The model naturally predicts small 1-3 neutrino mixing, sinθ130.05\sin \theta_{13} \simeq 0.05, and a CP violating phase δ\delta close to π/2\pi/2. Among other interesting predictions is a tiny effective Majorana mass for neutrinoless double-beta decay. Leptogenesis is also possible with the decay of the lightest right-handed neutrino giving an acceptable CP violating asymmetry ϵ1\epsilon_1 of order 10610^{-6}, {\em and with the correct sign for the resultant baryon asymmetry}. We also show how similar models with the non-abelian symmetry groups SU(2) or D4D_4, instead of D3D_3, can be constructed.
