Abstract

The LHC has failed to discover any new elementary particle since the Higgs boson completed the standard model in 2012, Here we adopt the attractive method of quiver gauge field theories to make predictions of additional particles which might be found at Run 4 of the upgraded LH-LHC scheduled to begin in 2030. We use an SU(3)4SU(3)^4 quiver gauge theory and exhaustively classify all possibilities according to how many of the added states shlep, meaning acquire a super-heavy Dirac mass. We arrive at four different choices, each of which suggests interesting positive outcomes for Run 4.
