Abstract: (Elsevier)
Within the context of the 't Hooft anomaly matching scheme, some guiding principles for model building are discussed with an eye to low-energy phenomenology. It is argued that Λ ch (chiral symmetry breaking scale of the global color-flavor group G CF ) ≈ Λ MC (metacolor scale) and Λ gCF (unification scale of the gauge subgroup of G CF ) ≲ Λ ch . As illustrations of the method, two composite models are suggested that can give rise to three or four generations of ordinary quarks and leptons without exotic fermions.
