Title: Lepton-specific universal seesaw model with left-right symmetry
Abstract: We propose a left-right symmetric framework with a universal seesaw mechanism for the generation of masses of the Standard Model quarks and leptons. Heavy vectorlike singlet quarks and leptons are required for generation of Standard-Model-like quark and lepton masses through a seesaw mechanism. A softly broken ${Z}_{2}$ symmetry distinguishes the lepton sector and the quark sector of the model. This leads to the presence of some lepton-specific interactions that can produce unique collider signatures which can be explored at the current Large Hadron Collider run and also future colliders.
