Summary
I will discuss a new class of models where the global baryonic and leptonic symmetries of the Standard Model are promoted to gauge symmetries. Anomaly cancellation requires new fermions called "leptobaryons". I demonstrate how these new degrees of freedom can allow for the possibility of low scale unification, and I will show how the LHC can search for this class of models and draw connections to dark matter searches.
