Abstract

The issue of gauge unification in the (non-supersymmetric) Standard Model is reinvestigated. It is found that with just an additional fourth generation of quarks and leptons, SU(3)SU(2)U(1)SU(3) \otimes SU(2) \otimes U(1) gauge couplings converge to a common point 2.65×1015\sim 2.65 \times 10^{15} GeV (τp1034±1\tau_p \sim 10^{34 \pm 1} years) provided the Higgs boson has a mass of at least 210 GeV. The presence of ultraviolet fixed points for the Yukawa and Higgs quartic couplings is found to be the origin of such unification.
