From to Realistic Mass Relations in Quark-Lepton Symmetric Models
D. S. Shaw, R. R. Volkas
In recent years a new potential symmetry of fundamental particle physics has been investigated --- discrete quark-lepton symmetry. When this symmetry is implemented, however, it of…

Effective Lagrangian Approach to the Fermion Mass Problem
D. S. Shaw, R. R. Volkas
An effective theory is proposed, combining the standard gauge group with a horizontal discrete symmetry. By assigning appropriate charg…

Systematic Study of Fermion Masses and Mixing Angles in Horizontal SU(2) Gauge Theory
Donald S. Shaw, Ray R. Volkas
Despite its great success in explaining the basic interactions of nature, the standard model suffers from an inability to explain the observed masses of the fundamental particles a…
