Abstract: (Elsevier)
We provide models for composite fermions which satisfy the anomaly constraints of 't Hooft. All the decoupling requirements are satisfied as preons acquire a mass. The spectrum of the composite fermions is far richer than the preon's while maintaining asymptotic freedom. The available symmetries contain SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) and the composite particles include the ordinary quarks and leptons along with additional unobserved (presumably heavy) fermions.
