A model of leptons, quarks and bosons as composites of spinons

Abstract

A model is presented of the leptons, quarks and bosons as non-elementary particles being composed of spinons. They are defined as massless fermions obeying the Weyl equations, but in addition are charged and assumed to have two internal degrees of freedom (weak colour charges). The corresponding total Lagrangian density of the quantized fields has a fermionic part and a gauge-field part, which leads to the interaction of the charged spinons. They are bound together by the gauge fields of the non-Abelian SU(2) symmetry group, and three of them can combine to a triple state forming the well known first generation of left- and right-handed leptons and quarks, including their proper electric charges (fractional for the quarks). The neutral and charged vector bosons of the weak interactions or the Higgs bosons can be constructed as binaries of two spinons.
