Flavor at SSC energies: A new mechanism for dynamically generated fermion masses
Abstract
I show how the ordinary fermions can be partially composite, where the constituents participate in SU(2) × U(1) breaking. The mechanism assumes no exotic strong interaction dynamics since the force binding the constituents is entirely QCD-like. A family mass and mixing angle hierarchy can arise automatically in such models, without being put in by hand. Clues to flavor structure would be accessible at SSC energies in such a theory, including technibaryons that decay to ordinary fermions.
