July 1998 IFP - 759 - UNC Quarks and Leptons Beyond the Third Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The possibility of additional quarks and leptons beyond the three generations already established is discussed. The make-up of this Report is (I) Introduction: the motivations for believing that the present litany of elementary fermions is not complete; (II) Quantum Numbers: possible assignments for additional fermions; (III) Masses and Mixing Angles: mass limits from precision electroweak data, vacuum stability and perturbative gauge unification; empirical constraints on mixing angles; (IV) Lifetimes and Decay Modes: their dependence on the mass spectrum and mixing angles of the additional quarks and leptons; the possibility of exceptionally long lifetimes; (V) Dynamical Symmetry Breaking: the significance of the top quark and other

متن کاملSearch for Next Generations of Quarks and Leptons at the Tevatron and LHC
If next heavy generations of quarks and leptons (with heavy neutrinos) within the Standard Model exist, they can be observed in experiments with Higgs boson production at the Tevatron and LHC before the discovery of these heavy fermions. For the case of one additional generation, the cross section of the Higgs boson production via gluon fusion at hadron colliders increases by a factor 6 ÷ 9. So...
متن کاملThe CKM Matrix and Its Origin
In the context of the supersymmetric uni cation model in which the massless sector contains extra particles beyond those in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, we obtain mixings between quarks (leptons) and the extra particles which are closely intertwined with Yukawa hierarchies. With the assumption that the uni cation gauge group G includes SU(2)R, it is shown that the non-trivial text...

In the context of the supersymmetric unification model in which the mass-less sector contains extra particles beyond the ones in the minimal supersym-metric standard model, we solve mixings between quarks (leptons) and the extra particles which are closely intertwined with Yukawa hierarchies. With the assumption that the unification gauge group G includes SU (2) R , it is shown that the non-tri...

In a model where CP is spontaneously broken, the aspon model, it is shown by extending previous arguments about B decay and the value of Re(ǫ ′ /ǫ) in the kaon system, that the neutron electric dipole moment Dn is bounded from below by Dn ≥ 10−29e.-cm. Typeset using REVTEX 1 The electric dipole moment D of a neutron (NEDM) must be proportional to its spin S and is hence odd under T or CP and un...
