Description

In this talk we present a recently published extension of the MSSM which uses T' as flavor symmetry. The model predicts nearly tri-bi-maximal mixing in the lepton sector as well as relates some elements of the CKM matrix to the quark mass ratios. The key point of the model is the VEV alignment of the flavor symmetry breaking fields, i.e. tri-bi-maximal mixing results from different subgroups of T' which are preserved by different sets of these fields. Other phenomenological aspects of the model such as lepton flavor violating decays will be also discussed.
