Minimal Family Unification

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-12-30 v1

Abstract

Absract It is proposed that there exist, within a new SU(2)SU(2)^{'}, a gauged discrete group Q6Q_6 (the order 12 double dihedral group) acting as a family symmetry. This nonabelian finite group can explain hierarchical features of families, using an assignment for quarks and leptons dictated by the requirements of anomaly cancellation and of no additional quarks.
