Explicit parity violation in $SU(2{)}_L\otimes SU(2{)}_R\otimes U(1{)}_{B-L}$ models

Abstract

Here we propose models with $SU(2{)}_L\otimes SU(2{)}_R\otimes U(1{)}_{B-L}$ electroweak gauge symmetry in which parity (or charge conjugation) is broken explicitly and the interactions of left- and right-handed fermions are completely different from each other at any energy scale. In these sort of models there is no restoration of parity at high energies. However, as in all left-right symmetric models, the electroweak charged interactions of quarks and leptons appear to be only left-handed at low energies, because the right-handed interactions are suppressed by the mass of the respective charged vector bosons and/or because these interactions may be much weaker than the left-handed ones.

Comments: 20 pages, 4 figures, we are replacing the previous version of our article Explicit parity violation in $SU(2{)}_L\otimes SU(2{)}_R\otimes U(1{)}_{B-L}$ models. This new version has already been published in the Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics
