Supersymmetric confining model of the weak interactions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
We present a supersymmetric, confining model of the weak interactions based on the gauge group SU (M)/sub S//sub C/ x SU(2)/sub L/ x SU(3)/sub C/ x U(1) (SC denotes supercolor). Supersymmetry protects chiral symmetries from spontaneous breakdown and allows a solution to the strong CP problem. There are interesting consequences for supersymmetry and R-invariance breaking. The maximum number of lepton and quark families in supersymmetric confining models is shown to be N/sub F/ = 3.
