SU(3)p quiver theories with N=0 for p=8 and 9

We close a gap in previous studies of nonsupersymmetric N=0 quiver gauge theories from a phenomenological point of view aimed at acquiring specific proposals for models beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Because SU(3) is the gauge group of QCD we fix N=3 and vary only the Zp abelian orbifold. The valu...
