Abstract
If it is assumed, among the technicolored SU(3 8+1 bosons, that only the lowest-lying and particularly mixed single boson contributes to the lepton mass-generation mechanism, a very successful prediction on the τ lepton mass, =1.787 GeV, can be obtained from the input data and . A possible simple scenario for the mass-splitting pattern of the 8+1 bosons, which can realize this particular 8+1 mixing, is investigated by assuming that the broken SU(3 symmetry satisfies asymptotic symmetry. In this scenario, though small, excess in the bottomonium and toponium decays into lepton pairs may be expected.
