Supersymmetric Preons and the Standard Model

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel supersymmetric preon model where standard model particles emerge from a photon and preon supermultiplet, utilizing quantum group representations to classify fundamental particles and address the absence of observed superpartners.

Contribution

It introduces a new supersymmetric preon framework with quantum group classification, providing an alternative to traditional supersymmetry models and explaining the standard model particle spectrum.

Findings

Standard model fermions and Higgs fields derived from preons

Supersymmetry applies only to unbound preons

Quantum group SLq(2) classifies particles topologically

Abstract

The experimental fact that standard model superpartners have not been observed compels one to consider an alternative implementation for supersymmetry. The basic supermultiplet proposed here consists of a photon and a charged spin 1/2 preon field, and their superpartners. These fields are shown to yield the standard model fermions, Higgs fields and gauge symmetries. Supersymmetry is defined for unbound preons only. Quantum group SLq(2) representations are introduced to classify topologically scalars, preons, quarks and leptons.
