Description

It is pointed out that if heavy [O(TeV)] fermion generations exist and if the source of their masses is the single doublet of the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model ]with a light [< or =O(1/2) TeV)] physical Higgs] then very tightly bound exotic LQ, LQ-bar, QQ, LL, etc., states may arise marking a dramatic appearance of new physics. In passing there is recalled the phenomenological observation that a discovery of a top quark via its semileptonic decay will practically exclude charged Higgs particles in the mass range m/sub t/-m/sub b/> or =M+
