Abstract

By extending the Sakata model, a unified model for elementary particles is proposed, the basic particles in the Sakata model are assumed to be constructed of the lepton and B+, which is regarded as a new kind of matter. The full symmetry among three basic particles and the symmetrical property of the weak interactions which was recently pointed out by Gamba, Marshak and Okubo come automatically of this model. The nature of B+ and the new mechanics which accounts for the binding of B+ to the lepton will be the central problem to be studied in the future.
