Fermion Masses in the Standard Model*?”

چکیده
We consider a proposal that the masses of fermions in the Standard Model are determined by dynamical symmetry breaking. Rather than being introduced as arbitrary parameters in the Lagrangian, they are determined self-consistently by the requirement that the proper self-energy vanish on the fermion mass shell. We find in the one-loop approximation that it is possible to generate a heavy top quark mass dynamically, while the other fermions remain massless. In Memoriam M . A. B. Bkg

A Geometric Picture for Fermion Masses
We describe a geometric picture for the pattern of fermion masses of the three generations which is invariant with respect to the renormalization group below the electroweak scale. Moreover, we predict the upper limit for the ratio between the Dirac masses of the μ and τ neutrinos, ( mνμ/mντ ) ≤ (9.6 ± 0.6) × 10. The Standard Model [1, 2] of strong and electroweak interactions describes accurat...
متن کاملGrand unification for mirror fermions
The possibility of grand unification of the standard model (SM) with fermion spectrum extended to include mirror fermions is examined. SM gauge couplings do not automatically unify. SO(10) grand unification is studied with one intermediate scale. Renormalization group equations (RGE) for fermion Yukawa couplings and the scalar self-coupling are studied numerically at one and two loop level. Str...

Talks presented at Beyond The Standard Model IV Conference, Lake Tahoe, Dec 94: NEW FERMION FAMILIES AND PRECISION ELECTROWEAK DATA: We highlight a trend in the precision electroweak data towards light new physics and argue that some spectra of strongly interacting technifamilies are plausibly compatible with the data.

متن کاملYukawa Coupling Evolution in Susy Guts
The scaling behavior and fixed points in the evolution of fermion Yukawa couplings and mixing angles are discussed. The relevance of fixed points in determining the top quark mass is described. The unification of gauge couplings is a well-known feature of unified theories. To understand the masses of the observed fermions requires ideas beyond the standard model. With certain assumptions about ...
متن کاملImproved vector and scalar masses in the massive Schwinger model
The lowest (" vector ") and next-lowest (" scalar ") bound-state masses of the massive Schwinger model have been determined recently to a very high accuracy numerically on the lattice. Therefore, improved results for these bound-state masses from analytical calculations are of some interest. Here, we provide such improved results by employing both standard and renormal-ordered (fermion) mass pe...
