Abstract: | In view of an excellent agreement between the recently determinedv
μ-hadron couplings and predictions of the standard model, the basic question discussed is how far its neutral current predictions
can be mimiced in going either from the isodoublet to an isotriplet (or an even higher isospin) left-handed representation
or from SU
L
(2) × U(1) toG × U(1), whereG is a simple group of rank two. This question is addressed with reference to a sufficiently broad class of schemes. Their
most distinctive properties are: in the higher isospin scheme, neutrino couplings are precisely in the form obtainable with
standard l.h. representation; the higher g.g. scheme isL+R type in which, to each light fermion of evenRU parity, a superheavy fermion of the same charge and oddRU parity is associated, parity conservation forbidding their mixing. Reasons for excluding theL-type andG
2 higher g.g. schemes are given. Their neutral current predictions are compared with those of the standard model. A higher
isospin representation can mimic the predictions of the standard model in inclusive and semi-inclusivev
μ-hadron reactions but is conclusively discriminated from the isodoublet representation by elasticv
μ
(−
p scattering. TheG × U(1) scheme can mimic standard model neutrino sector but is conclusively discriminated from minimal scheme by parity violating
effects. |
