Resumo

In the context of the minimal flavon-chromon preon model, we show that supersymmetry, because of fermion-boson pairing in its field content, provides a rather simple reason for replication of composite quark-lepton families. At the level of minimum number of core constituents, which turns out to be three, it also provides a good reason why one may expect to have just three light chiral families. One crucial prediction is that there must exist complete vector-like families with mass of order 1 TeV for quark-like and few hundred GeV for lepton-like members. This can be tested at SSC, LHC and future high energy e−e+ machines.
