tauheks
Tauheks is a theoretical construct used in speculative physics and science fiction to describe a six-partite bound state arising from a new confining interaction in a hidden sector. The name blends tau, a Greek letter often used in physics to denote time constants or the tau particle, with the root heks, reflecting its proposed six-component nature. In typical sketches, a tauhek is a composite particle formed from six fundamental constituents bound by a novel strong-like force. The total spin and quantum numbers depend on the configuration of constituents; depending on the model, it may be bosonic or fermionic.
The concept sits in the realm of beyond-Standard-Model discussions, where hidden sectors with their own confining
Phenomenologically, a tauhek would be expected to produce distinctive multi-particle final states in detectors, with correlations
Status and reception of tauheks are largely speculative. They have not been observed experimentally and are
