Description

The lepton isodoublet (e-,νsub(e)), the ''bare'' nucleon is isodoublet (n,p), and their antiparticles are shown to constitute a basis of the irreducible representation of the Clifford algebra C7. The excited states of these doublets, i.e., (μ-,νsub(μ)), (tau-,νsub(tau)),..., and (s0,c+),(b0,t+) are generated by the products (e-,νsub(e))sup(x)a and (n,p)sup(x)a, where a is identical to 2sup(-1/2)(e-e+ + νsub(e)ν-barsub(e)) has the same quantum numbers as the photon state. The bare baryons s,c,b,t carry the strangeness, charm, bottom, and top quantum numbers. These lepton and bare baryon states are in one-to-one correspondence with the integrally charged colored Han-Nambu quarks, and generate all the observed su(3) and su(4) hadron multiplets. (author)
