Phys. Rev. D 25, 553–565 (1982)Families from spinorsReceived 23 June 1981; published in the issue dated 15 January 1982 The possible utility of spinor representations of large orthogonal internal-symmetry groups is explored. The repetitive structure of families is incorporated quite naturally, but there is a difficulty with extra "conjugate" families having V+A weak currents. Possible methods for removing these conjugate families from the low-energy spectrum are discussed. An SO(18) example is discussed in some detail. An occurrence of spinors as a classification of composite particles is discussed. A long appendix discusses useful techniques for practical calculations involving spinors. © 1982 The American Physical Society URL:
