Abstract

Since the confirmation of the existence of atoms in the nineteenth century, we know that ordinary matter is associated with a scale that determines its chemical properties. Below this scale, matter can no longer be divided without a dramatic modification of its properties, and has been shown not to obey the laws of classical mechanics.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In the SM, the normalization of the hypercharge is free since there is no requirement from anomaly cancellation and only the product \(g' Y\) appears. On the other hand, assuming that the SM gauge groups are obtained from \(\mathrm{SU}(5)\) and/or \(\mathrm{SO}(10)\) fixes the normalization of the hypercharge, which is necessary for testing gauge coupling unification.

  2. 2.

    Scalar fields do not have chirality, and in this case “right-handed” is just a reminder for the quantum numbers of the fermionic partner.
