Description

I shall give a descriptive summary (without big formulae) of recent work on the Framed Standard Model (FSM) which:

Offers explanation for the mass and mixing patterns of quarks and leptons,
Predicts a new vector boson G with mass of order TeV mixing with gamma and Z. For m_G > 1 TeV, deviations from the standard mixing scheme are within present experimental bounds, but should show up as new physics soon when experimental accuracy improves.
Suggests the existence of a hidden sector quite as populous and vibrant as our own but interacting little with our sector and therefore hidden at present from us. The lowest members of the of the new sector with mass around 17 MeV are candidates for dark matter.
