Universal Law

The conservation of electric charge Q is a universal law in the sense that it should be conserved in any interaction, known or yet unknown. However, Q should not be considered as a simple number but as the half sum of two irreducible quantities, the baryon lepton asymmetric number BAL = A-L (where A is the baryonic number and L is the leptonic number) and total flavor TF. Conservation of electric charge implies obviously conservation of Q (considered as a simple number) but also BAL and TF. We verify that electromagnetism and strong interaction which conserve Q, A and L and all individual flavors conserve obviously BAL and TF; that weak interaction which conserves Q, A and L conserves also BAL and TF. However, conservation of BAL does not necessarily imply conservation of A and L. In effect Δ BAL = 0 has another solution ΔA = ΔL = ±1 which points to a possible solution to explain how a material and neutral universe could arise evolving from an A = 0, L = 0, Q = 0 state to an A > 0, Q = 0 state through a process which would conserve BAL and TF without conserving separately A and L.

The Difference

Any particle is defined by a set of additive quantum numbers: A, L, individual flavours. These numbers could be considered as the components of a vector C which is characteristic of each particle. Each particle is associated to a vector C representing the particle in an abstract space. The electric charge Q could be interpreted as the projection of C on a vector Q(0). If C=0, particle and antiparticle are the same particle. If C≠0, particle and antiparticle are represented by opposite vectors and are different even if Q=0. In this framework, the neutron is different from the antineutron (many experimental facts confirm this statement) and the neutrino is different from the antineutrino. A direct and important consequence of the difference between the neutrino and the antineutrino is that ββ0ν decay should be strictly forbidden. It is indeed in agreement with all up to now experimental results which show no hint of any ββ0ν event. The features of messengers would explain why electromagnetism and strong interaction conserve A, L and individual flavours and consequently also total flavour while weak interaction conserves only A, L and total flavour.

The Stability

Positive baryon numbers (A>0) and positive lepton numbers (L>0) characterize matter particles while negative baryon numbers and negative lepton numbers characterize antimatter particles. Matter particles and antimatter particles belong to two distinct classes of particles. Matter neutral particles are particles characterized by both zero baryon number and zero lepton number. This third class of particles includes mesons formed by a quark and an antiquark pair (a pair of matter particle and antimatter particle) and bosons which are messengers of known interactions (photons for electromagnetism, W and Z bosons for the weak interaction, gluons for the strong interaction). The antiparticle of a matter particle belongs to the class of antimatter particles, the antiparticle of an antimatter particle belongs to the class of matter particles. The antiparticle of a matter neutral particle belongs to the same class of matter neutral particles. A truly neutral particle is a particle identical with its antiparticle; it belongs necessarily to the class of matter neutral particles. All known interactions of the Standard Model conserve baryon number and lepton number; matter cannot be created or destroyed via a reaction governed by these interactions. Conservation of baryon and lepton number parallels conservation of atoms in chemistry; the number of atoms of a particular species in the reactants must equal the number of those atoms in the products. These laws of conservation valid for interaction involving matter particles are indeed valid for any particles (matter particles characterized by positive numbers, antimatter particles characterized by negative numbers, and matter neutral particles characterized by zero). Interactions within the framework of the Standard Model which conserve both matter and charge at the microscopic level cannot explain the observed asymmetry of our Universe. The strong interaction was introduced to explain the stability of nuclei: there must exist a powerful force to compensate the electromagnetic force which tends to cause protons to fly apart. The weak interaction with laws of conservation different from electromagnetism and the strong interaction was postulated to explain beta decay. Our observed material and neutral universe would signify the existence of another interaction that did conserve charge but did not conserve matter.

Footprint Analysis

An in vitro system reconstituted with highly purified RNA polymerase III, TFIIIC2, and TFIIIB has been used to identify two chromatographically distinct human RNA polymerase III transcription factors, TFIIIC1 and TFIIIC1', which are functionally equivalent to the previously defined TFIIIC1 (S. T. Yoshinaga, P. A. Boulanger, and A. J. Berk, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:3585-3589, 1987). Interactions between TFIIIC2, TFIIIC1 (or TFIIIC1'), and the VA1 and tRNA1(Met) templates have been investigated by DNase I footprint analysis. Homogeneous TFIIIC2 alone shows only a weak footprint over the B-box region of the VA1 and tRNA1(Met) templates, whereas TFIIIC1 (or TFIIIC1') alone shows both a strong interaction over the downstream termination region and a very weak interaction near the A-box region. Importantly, when both factors are present simultaneously, TFIIIC1 (or TFIIIC1') dramatically enhances the level of TFIIIC2 binding and extends the footprint to a region that includes the A box. The downstream termination region is essential for this cooperative interaction between TFIIIC2 and TFIIIC1 (or TFIIIC1') on the VA1 and tRNA1(Met) templates and plays a role in the overall accuracy and efficiency of RNA polymerase III transcription.

Baryon Number Conservation

Charges that are sources of fields must be universally conserved. Any quantity which is proved to be violated in certain circumstance cannot be a source of field. To account for the asymmetry of our Universe baryon number A has to be violated; thus A cannot be a charge. We postulate a new interaction, matter creation, with (A–L) as charge and Z * as messenger. Conservation of (A–L) instead of (3A–L) suggested by Sakharov is deduced on the one hand from observational facts (our Universe is both material and neutral) and on the other hand from the generalized Gell-Mann and Nishijima formula. Conservation of (A–L) forbids neutrinoless double beta decay and neutron antineutron oscillations. The union of four interactions — electromagnetism, the MC interaction, the weak interaction and the strong interaction — considered as the product U(1) × U(1) × SU(2) × SU(3) would account for available experimental and observational data. Observation of processes violating baryon number conservation would be of great interest in falsifying this suggestion.

Different Levels

Two new flavor quantum numbers D and U for down and up quarks, respectively, are introduced, and then quark quantum number H is proposed as the sum of the flavor quantum numbers of quarks. Moreover, lepton quark-like quantum number HL and finally fermion quantum number F are brought forward. Old and new additive quantum numbers are conserved at three different levels in weak interaction, and F builds up a clear relationship to the electric charge of fermions.
