• All leptons exist as free particles
• Lepton number conservation
In the Standard Model neutrinos are assumed to be massless. Recently clear evidence for neutrino oscillations have been observed: explained with non-zero masses. M a s s d i f f e r e n c e a r e v e r y s m a l l : m ν < 3 e V f o r a l l N e u t r i n o s

In the standard model lepton flavor conservation is a consequenceof vanishing neutrino masses.
Lepton flavor violation also for charged leptons ?

quark mass·c2• Quarks are confined in hadrons:
mesons (q⎯q) or baryons (qqq)
• Quark masses cannot be measured directly: mass is well defined only for free particles
• Heavy quarks: Constituent quark masses. Determination from observed hadron mass spectra + assumed binding potential
For the light quarks (u,d,s,) the masses are estimates of the “current masses” which appear in the QCD Lagrangian
• Quarks carry color charge

Questions:
• Why 3 generations ?
• Mass hierarchy ?
• Charges = 0, 1/3e, 2/3e or e ?

b.) Strong interaction
Color charges and gluons.
• Quarks and anti-quarks carry 3 different (anti) color charges
• Interaction is mediated by 8 massless colored gluons (spin 1)
• Color symmetry is exact: strong interaction only depends on color and is independent of quark flavor
• Color charge of gluons ⇒ gluon-gluon coupling: triple gluon vertex

Questions:
• Electromagnetic and weak forces can be unified:
• What about strong force ?
• What about gravitation ?
• Unification scales are very different ?
