We consider a spin-$1$ resonance produced with an arbitrary spectrum of velocities and decaying into a pair of massless leptons, and we study the probability density function of the energy of the leptons in the laboratory frame. A special…
A previously developed lepton mass equation is extended to include the massive bosons and quarks of all three generations. The particles are modeled as closed, string-like, light front solitons whose key quantum numbers are their node…
We study the effects of vector-like leptons on the $W$ boson mass in a model with a vector-like $U(1)^\prime$ gauge symmetry. This model provides simultaneous explanations for the recent anomalies in the muon anomalous magnetic moment and…
In the model every quark or lepton is identified with a quartet of four "more elementary" particles. One particle in a quartet is a massive spin-0 boson and other three particles are massless spin-1/2 fermions.
A model is presented of the leptons, quarks and bosons as non-elementary particles being composed of spinons. They are defined as massless fermions obeying the Weyl equations, but in addition are charged and assumed to have two internal…
An Abelian gauge theory describing dynamics of massive spin one bosons is constructed. This is achieved by appending to the Maxwell action, a gauge invariant mass term. The theory is quantised in temporal as well as Lorentz gauge, and the…
Spinors are lightlike. How do they combine to make massive particles? We visit the zoo of Lagrangian singularities, or caustics, in spacetime projections from spin space- the phase space of lightlike, 8- spinor flows. We find that the…
Some of the motivations for quark and lepton compositeness, and some problems associated with present schemes, are noted. One model is discussed in which quarks and leptons are taken as composites of spin-1/2 fermions $F$ with charges $\pm…
In this paper we present a connection between the results obtained from a semiclassical study of a relativistic, two-body system, and the leptons masses. Some possible consequences are also discussed.
In this paper we study the transition rates for the decay of $W^{\pm}$ bosons into leptons in de Sitter spacetime. From the results obtained in the de Sitter geometry we recover the Minkowski limits of the transition rates. We also study…
We study the lepton mass textures, which are derived by $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauging of $\mathbb{Z}_M$ symmetries. We can obtain various textures for the Yukawa couplings in the charged lepton sector, but the patterns of neutrino mass matrices…
We unearth spacetime structure of massive vector bosons, gravitinos, and gravitons. While the curvatures associated with these particles carry a definite spin, the underlying potentials cannot be, and should not be, interpreted as single…
We demonstrate that the 8 multipole parameters describing the spin state of the $Z$ boson are able to disentangle known $Z$ production mechanisms and signals from new physics at the LHC. They can be extracted from appropriate asymmetries in…
$W$ bosons are produced at LHC from a forward-backward symmetric initial state. Their decay to a charged lepton and a neutrino has a strong spin analysing power. The combination of these effects results in characteristic distributions of…
A model in which quarks and leptons consist of three "more elementary" particles of spin 1/2 is proposed. A gauge field theory with SU(4) symmetry that corresponds to this model predicts the existence of two new bosons.
It is assumed that three lepton families $(\nu_e, e)$, $(\nu_{\mu}, \mu)$, $(\nu_{\tau}, \tau)$ carry charges, which are sources of electronic, muonic and tauonic massless vector particles, respectively. Various manifestations of these…
We consider a new massive vector-boson Z' that couples to leptons through the L_mu - L_tau current, and to quarks through an arbitrary set of couplings. We show that such a model can be obtained from a renormalizable field theory involving…
A model of spin-3/2 vector-like leptons is introduced, which serve as an alternative probe of possible lepton compositeness. Possible signatures at the Large Hadron Collider are explored, and current data are used to constrain the masses of…
We consider a model for a Z'-boson coupled only to baryon minus lepton number and hypercharge. Besides the usual right-handed neutrinos, we add a pair of fermions with a fractional lepton charge, which we therefore call leptinos. One of the…
We propose a model for the vector-like lepton to explain the small muon mass by a seesaw mechanism, based on lepton-specific two Higgs doublet models with a local $U(1)'$ symmetry. There is no bare muon mass for a nonzero $U(1)'$ charge of…
