Right Handed Neutrino Currents in the SU(3)_LxU(1)_N Electroweak Theory

A version of the \mbox{SU(3)}_L\otimes \mbox{U(1)}_N electroweak theory in which there are right-handed neutrino currents is reconsidered in detail. We argue that in order to have a result consistent with low-energy one, the right-handed neutrino component must be treated as correction instead of an equivalent spin state. The data from the $Z$-decay allow us to fix the limit for $\phi$ as $-0.00285 \leq \phi \leq 0.00018$. From the neutrino neutral current scattering, we estimate a bound for the new neutral gauge boson $Z^2$ mass in the range of 400 GeV. A bound for the new charged and neutral (non-Hermitian) gauge bosons $Y^{\pm}, X^o$ is also obtained from symmetry-breaking hierarchy.Comment: 13 pages, latex, no figures, Presented at the 2nd Recontres du Vietnam - Physics at the Frontiers of the Standard Model, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 21-28 October 199

Electroweak phase transition in the economical 3-3-1 model

We consider the EWPT in the economical 3-3-1 (E331) model. Our analysis shows that the EWPT in the model is a sequence of two first-order phase transitions, $SU(3) \rightarrow SU(2)$ at the TeV scale and $SU(2) \rightarrow U(1)$ at the $100$ GeV scale. The EWPT $SU(3) \rightarrow SU(2)$ is triggered by the new bosons and the exotic quarks; its strength is about $1 - 13$ if the mass ranges of these new particles are $10^2 \,\mathrm{GeV} - 10^3 \,\mathrm{GeV}$. The EWPT $SU(2) \rightarrow U(1)$ is strengthened by only the new bosons; its strength is about $1 - 1.15$ if the mass parts of $H^0_1$, $H^\pm_2$ and $Y^\pm$ are in the ranges $10 \,\mathrm{GeV} - 10^2 \,\mathrm{GeV}$. The contributions of $H^0_1$ and $H^{\pm}_2$ to the strengths of both EWPTs may make them sufficiently strong to provide large deviations from thermal equilibrium and B violation necessary for baryogenesis.Comment: 17 pages, 9 figure
