Abstract

Fermionic condensates are calculated in a background of instantons in a supersymmetric composite model based upon SU(2) hypercolor symmetry. Due to the effective 4-fermi interaction of the composites, the quasi-Goldstone fermion acquires a mass which is much smaller than ΛHC provided the gauge symmetry breaking scale, υ, is large enough for the approximation to be valid. (Typically υ≃eΛHC.) This provides a dynamical mechanism for generating the masses of quarks and leptons in this class of models.
