In one Standard Model generation, the left-handed up and down quark fields form a weak doublet of hypercharge . Each weak component has three colours. The same field therefore counts as three doublets for weak gauge-loop contributions and two colour fundamentals for strong gauge-loop contributions. Right-handed up and down quarks are separate weak singlets.
In normalization , the left quark doublet has , right up/down singlets have , the left lepton doublet has , the right charged lepton has , and the Higgs doublet has . The alternative convention uses . Up-type Yukawa interactions use the conjugate doublet of hypercharge .
