Weak charges quantization in SU(3)c ⊗ SU(n)L ⊗ U(1)Y gauge models

Abstract

Abstract After proving, in a previous paper, that the electric charge quantization occurs as a natural consequence in renormalizable gauge models, we take here a step further within the same paradigm in order to obtain the precise weak charges quantization. To this end a viable boson mass spectrum is obtained first, once a proper parametrization in the Higgs sector is taken into consideration. Hence, by diagonalizing the neutral bosons mass matrix, the quantized neutral weak charge operators are obtained. The Standard Model phenomenology is not affected at all, as its scale (v SM  = 246 GeV) is decoupled from the higher scale (V ∼ 10 TeV) specific to our generalized electro-weak unification.
