Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007 We propose a top hypercharge model with gauge symmetry SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_1 x U(1)_2 where the first two families of the Standard Model (SM) fermions are charged under U(1)_1 while the third family is charged under U(1)_2. The U(1)_1 x U(1)_2 gauge symmetry is broken down to the U(1)_Y gauge symmetry, when a SM singlet Higgs field acquires a ...
