Abstract

We present a supersymmetric, confining model of the weak interactions based on the gauge group SU(M)SC×SU(2)L×SU(3)C×U(1) (SC denotes supercolor). Supersymmetry protects chiral symmetries from spontaneous breakdown and allows a solution to the strong CP problem. There are interesting consequences for supersymmetry and R-invariance breaking. The maximum number of lepton and quark families in supersymmetric confining models is shown to be NF=3.
