Unconventional fermions: The Price of Quark-Lepton Unification at TeV Scales
Abstract
The early petite unification (PUT) of quarks and leptons at TeV scales with sin2 thetaW(M2Z) used as a constraint, necessitates the introduction of extra quarks and leptons with unconventional electric charges (up to 4/3 for the quarks and 2 for the leptons). This talk, in honor of Paul Frampton's 60th birthday, will be devoted to the motivation and construction of models of early unification and to their implications, including the issues of rare decays and unconventional fermions.
