A Novel Model of Charged Leptons

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new model for charged leptons where Yukawa couplings are weak interactions involving a scalar Higgs boson, with lepton flavor states as superpositions of Weyl spinors, explaining mass differences via mixing angles.

Contribution

It introduces a novel framework linking weak interactions and flavor mixing to charged lepton masses, with universal Yukawa couplings and a new perspective on flavor eigenstates.

Findings

Yukawa coupling constants are considered universal across leptons.

Mass differences arise from different left-right mixing angles.

The model offers a new explanation for charged lepton mass hierarchy.

Abstract

A novel model of charged leptons is presented, which contains two basics hypotheses. The first hypothesis is that the Yukawa coupling between Higgs field and charged leptons is the weak interaction, the Higgs field is a scalar intermediate boson which changes the chirality of charged leptons in the weak interaction. The other hypothesis is that the flavor eigenstates of charged leptons are the superposition states of left-handed and right-handed elementary Weyl spinors before the electroweak symmetry breaking. According to this model, the Yukawa coupling constants between Higgs field and three generations of charged leptons are considered to be a universal constant, and the difference of the masses of different charged leptons is due to the different left-right mixing angles of their flavor eigenstates.
