Description
A study of the T' Model and its variants utilizing Binary Tetrahedral Flavor Symmetry. Our model endeavors to bridge two categories of particles, leptons and quarks, a unification made possible by the inclusion of additional Higgs particles, shared between the two fermion sectors and creating a single coherent system. This is achieved through the use of the Binary Tetrahedral symmetry group and an investigation of the Tribimaximal symmetry evidenced by neutrinos. Our work details perturbations and extensions of this T' Model as we apply our framework to neutrino mixing, quark mixing, and dark matter. Where possible, we evaluate model predictions against experimental results, and find excellent matching with the atmospheric and reactor neutrino mixing angles, an accurate prediction of the Cabibbo angle, and a dark matter candidate that remains outside the limits of current tests. Taken together, we believe these results speak to the promising potential of finite groups and flavor symmetries to act as an approximation of nature.
