We perform a comprehensive analysis of several phenomenological aspects of the renormalizable extension of the inert 3-3-1 model with sequentially loop-generated fermion mass hierarchy. Special attention is paid to the study of the constraints arising from the experimental data on the ρ parameter, as well as those ones resulting from the charged flavor violating process μ → eγ and dark matter. We also study the single Z0 production via Drell-Yan mechanism at the LHC. We have found that Z0 gauge bosons heavier than about 4 TeV comply with the experimental constraints on the oblique ρ parameter as well as with the collider constraints. In addition, we have found that the constraint on the charged lepton flavor violating decay μ → eγ sets the sterile neutrino masses to be lighter than about 1.12 TeV. In addition the model allows charged lepton flavor violating processes within reach of the forthcoming experiments. The scalar potential and the gauge sector of the model are analyzed and discussed in detail. Our model successfully accommodates the observed dark matter relic density.

I. INTRODUCTION the Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism [1]. According to the FM mechanism, the mass differences between generations Despite its great successes, the Standard Model (SM) of fermions arise from suppression factors depending on does not explain the observed mass and mixing hierarchies the FN charges of the particles. It has been noticed that in in the fermion sector, which remain without a compelling order to implement the aforementioned mechanism, the explanation. It is known that in the SM, the masses of the effective Yukawa interactions have to be introduced, thus matter fields are generated from the Yukawa interactions. In – – making this theory nonrenormalizable. From this point of addition, the Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa mixing view, the recent mechanism proposed by Cárcamo, matrix is also constructed from the same Yukawa cou- Kovalenko, and Schmidt [2] (called by CKS mechanism) plings.
