A Sinister Extension of the Standard Model to SU(3)XSU(2)XSU(2)XU(1)
Abstract
Description
This paper describes work done in collaboration with Andy Cohen. In our model, ordinary fermions are accompanied by an equal number `terafermions.' These particles are linked to ordinary quarks and leptons by an unconventional CP' operation, whose soft breaking in the Higgs mass sector results in their acquiring large masses. The model leads to no detectable strong CP violating effects, produces small Dirac masses for neutrinos, and offers a novel alternative for dark matter as electromagnetically bound systems made of terafermions.
