Flipped Quartification and a composite $b$-quark

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2020-09-10 v1

Abstract

An alternative "flipped" version of the quartification model is obtained by rearrangement of the particle assignments. The model has two standard (trinification) families and one flipped quartification family. An interesting phenomenological implication is that the model allows for a composite bb-quark.
