Alternative 3-3-1 models with exotic electric charges

Abstract

Abstract We report the most general classification of 3-3-1 models with β = 3 . We found several solutions where anomaly cancellation occurs among fermions of different families. These solutions are particularly interesting as they generate non-universal heavy neutral vector bosons. Non-universality in the standard model fermion charges under an additional gauge group generates charged lepton flavor violation and flavor changing neutral currents; we discuss under what conditions the new models can evade constraints coming from these processes. In addition, we also report the Large Hadron Collider~(LHC) constraints.
