The approach has in the starting action for fermions, which carry in d(=1 +13)-dimensional space only the spin (two kinds of the spin) and interact with only spin connection and vielbein fields, the term manifesting as a mass term in d=1+3. (After making several approximations and assumptions) we connect free parameters of the approach with the experimental data and investigate a possibility that the fourth family appears at low enough energies to be observable in the new generation of accelerators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-06-21T10:51:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.10.-g", "12.15.Ff", "14.60.Pq", "04.50.+h", "12.10.Dm" ], "keywords": [ "fermion masses", "unified theory", "standard model", "mass protection mechanism", "connect free parameters" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 719797, "adsabs": "2006hep.ph....6224B" } } }
