Description
We present a unified model based on the exceptional group E6 in which the electron family (e, ν/sub e/, u, and d', where the prime denotes a Cabibbo-rotated state) is elementary, and the μ and tau families are composites. The model has a rich particle spectrum starting not far above the tau family and a range of mass scales above the weak-boson masses. Group-theoretical features of the symmetry breaking are discussed in some detail in a language having many other applications
