Strong Coupling Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
We review models of electroweak symmetry breaking due to new strong interactions at the TeV energy scale and discuss the prospects for their experimental tests. We emphasize the direct observation of the new interactions through high-energy scattering of vector bosons. We also discuss indirect probes of the new interactions and exotic particles predicted by specific theoretical models. Strong C...
متن کاملFlavour structure , flavour symmetry and supersymmetry ∗
One of the most obscure sides of particle physics concerns the fermion flavor structure. This is a complex problem with different aspects questioning the origin of the mass spectrum and mixing pattern of quarks and leptons (including neutrinos) and CP-violation, as well as the suppression of flavor changing (FC) neutral currents, the strong CP-problem, etc. [1]. Presently, thanks to the new dat...
متن کاملConformality in many-flavour lattice QCD at strong coupling
It is widely believed that chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken at zero temperature in the strong coupling limit of staggered fermions, for any number of colors and flavors. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we show that this conventional wisdom, based on a mean-field analysis, is wrong. For sufficiently many fundamental flavors, chiral symmetry is restored via a bulk, first-order transition. T...
متن کاملStrong Coupling Qed Breaks Chiral Symmetry
We show that the strong coupling limit of d-dimensional quantum electrodynamics with 2/2 flavors of fermions can be mapped onto the s=1/2 quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet in d-1 space dimensions. The staggered Néel order parameter is the expectation value of a mass operator in QED and the spin-waves are pions. We speculate that the chiral symmetry breaking phase transition corresponds to a tr...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses and Flavour Symmetry
The problem of neutrino masses and mixing angles is analysed in a class of supersymmetric grand unified models, with SO(10) gauge symmetry and global U(2) flavour symmetry. Adopting the seesaw mechanism for the generation of the neutrino masses, one obtains a mass matrix for the left–handed neutrinos which is directly related to the parameters of the charged sector, while the unknown parameters...
