Lepton masses and SU(3)family-symmetry breaking

Abstract
If it is assumed, among the technicolored SU(3)family 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, mτ=1.787 GeV, can be obtained from the input data me and mμ. 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)family symmetry satisfies asymptotic symmetry. In this scenario, though small, τ+ τ excess in the bottomonium and toponium decays into lepton pairs may be expected.
