Some rare processes in a model of composite quarks and leptons

  • Published:

Abstract

The branching ratios of some rare processes, i.e. meson →μe, meson →meson μe, baryon → baryon μe, are calculated in a composite quark and lepton model. Use is made of an effective Hamiltonian which originates from hypercolor singlet 0− and 1− bound state exchange mechanism, acting at a mass scaleM P andM V respectively. Under the reasonable assumptionM P =M V onlyK L →μe puts a significant limit on the composite scale.
