Abstract

The pattern of quantum numbers in the leptons and quarks indicate that precisely two fixed hypercharge splittings are observed in nature. The $|Δ Y|=1$ splitting corresponds to the $SU(2)_L$ scalar and doublet spacing, indicative of the Yukawa interactions of the Higgs mechanism. A $|Δ Y|=4/3$ splitting is identified between corresponding $SU(3)_C$ scalars and triplets. The properties of this splitting are the basis for the prediction of a new kind of scalar particle that directly couples quarks and leptons. Possible experimental methods for detecting a strongly interacting, charge -1$e$/3 scalar particle are presented for the examples of exotic decay modes of the top quark and the analysis of $t\bartτ^+τ^-$ production at hadron colliders.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
