A minimal four family model
Description
We propose an extremely simple four family extension of the standard model. Apart from a fourth sequential family only one new particle is introduced, namely a single right-handed neutrino νR. The first three neutrino families are massless, while the fourth neutrino νσL combines with νR to form a heavy Dirac neutrino. The experimental implications of such a minimal four family model are discussed. (orig.)
