We discuss a 2HDM where neutrino masses are generated via type I seesaw and propose an extension where neutrino masses are generated via a type II seesaw mechanism with flavor changing interactions being absent via the presence of a U(1) gauge symmetry. After considering a variety of bounds such as those rising from collider and electroweak precision we show that our proposal stands as a UV complete 2HDM with a dark photon where neutrino masses and flavor changing interactions are addressed. A possible dark matter realization is also discussed. Keywords: Beyond Standard Model, Gauge Symmetry, Neutrino Physics ArXiv ePrint: 1811.05488

Introduction

The Standard Model (SM) is the most accurate description of nature to the electroweak and strong interactions [1–3]. The discovery of a 125 GeV spin-0 state at CERN was the last piece of the puzzle in the SM [4, 5] and established the existence of, as far as we

The ρ parameter, ρ = m2W /(m2Z cos2 θW ) is a powerful probe to those models featuring multiple scalar particles because they may con
