Quarks and leptons beyond the third generation (original) (raw)
The possibility of additional quarks and leptons beyond the three generations already established is discussed. The make-up of this Report is (I) Introduction: the motivations for believing that the present litany of elementary fermions is not complete; (II) Quantum Numbers: possible assignments for additional fermions; (III) Masses and Mixing Angles: mass limits from precision electroweak data, vacuum stability and perturbative gauge unification; empirical constraints on mixing angles; (IV) Lifetimes and Decay Modes: their dependence on the mass spectrum and mixing angles of the additional quarks and leptons; the possibility of exceptionally long lifetimes; (V) Dynamical Symmetry Breaking: the significance of the top quark and other
