Abstract

We construct a supersymmetric model where the left-handed top and bottom quarks are mainly the gauginos of a vector supermultiplet and hence their superpartners are spin 1. The right-handed top quark is unified with the Higgs field; the top Yukawa coupling arises from the gaugino coupling.
