Quarks and Bosons as Composite Particles

Abstract

A composite model of quarks and bosons is proposed in which a spin 1/21/2 isospin doublet ψ\psi is the basic building block of quarks, W±W^\pm, Z0Z^0 and Higgs boson H0H^0 in the standard model. The ψ\psi has two components α\alpha and β\beta with charges Qα=23eQ_\alpha=\frac{2}{3}e and Qβ=13eQ_\beta=-\frac{1}{3}e, respectively. The two constituent flavors α\alpha and β\beta combine to form the three generations of colored standard model quark flavors. A triplet of massless hypergluons binds the constituents called geminis. The strong confining non-Abelian SU(2)CSU(2)_C constituent color dynamics has a confining energy scale ΛCD\Lambda_{CD}. The leptons, the massless photon, gluons and triplet of hypergluons are treated as point particles. The non-Abelian SU(2)CSU(2)_C color dynamics satisfies asymptotic freedom, and, together with the compositeness of the Higgs boson H0H^0, resolve the Higgs mass and gauge hierarchy fine-tuning problems.
