Topological compositeness of quarks, leptons and electroweak bosons

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Topological Particle Theory yields a unified particle description in terms of two topological constituents, which we call theI-triangle and theY-triangle. Each triangle is a charge doublet; theI-triangle has spin 1/2 while theY-triangle has spin 0. Leptons are\(\bar I \bar Y\); electroweak vector bosons are\(I \bar I\); hadrons are\(I \bar I\) (mesons),\(I I I \bar Y\) (baryons), or\(I I \bar Y Y \bar I \bar I\) (baryoniums). An as-yet-undiscovered singlet neutral electroweak scalar boson is predicted, corresponding to\(Y \bar Y\)
