SU(3)×U(1) theory of weak-electromagnetic interactions with charged-boson mixing

We propose an SU (3) (1) gauge theory of weak-electromagnetic interactions in which the charged bosons mix with each other. The model naturally ensures e- and quark-lepton universality in couplings, and the charged-boson mixing permits an equal number of leptons and quark flavors. There are no new stable leptons. All the fermions are placed in triplets and singlets and the theory is vectorlike and hence free of anomalies. In addition one of the charged bosons can have a mass less than 43 GeV. Discrete symmetries and specific choices for Higgs fields are postulated to obtain the appropriate boson and fermion masses. Calculations for the decay of the particle, which is described as a heavy electron, are given. Multimuon events are discussed as are neutrino neutral currents. Calculations are also given testing asymmetries in e-hadron scattering due to weak electron neutral currents along with other phenomenology of the model.
