From old symmetries to new symmetries: Quarks, leptons and B-L

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S0217751X1430066XCited by:8 (Source: Crossref)

    The Baryon–Lepton difference (B-L) is increasingly emerging as a possible new symmetry of the weak interactions of quarks and leptons as a way to understand the small neutrino masses. There is the possibility that current and future searches at colliders and in low energy rare processes may provide evidence for this symmetry. This paper provides a brief overview of the early developments that led to B-L as a possible symmetry beyond the standard model, and also discusses some recent developments.

    This article will also appear in "50 Years of Quarks," edited by H. Fritzsch and M. Gell-Mann (World Scientific, 2015).
