چکیده

Recently, a new class of realistic models for electroweak symmetry breaking have been constructed, without supersymmetry. These theories have naturally light Higgs bosons and perturbative new physics at the TeV scale. We describe these models in detail, and show that electroweak symmetry breaking can be triggered by a large top quark Yukawa coupling. A rich spectrum of particles is predicted, with a pair of light Higgs doublets accompanied by new light weak triplet and singlet scalars. The lightest of these new scalars is charged under a geometric discrete symmetry and is therefore stable, providing a new candidate for WIMP dark matter. At TeV energies, a plethora of new heavy scalars, gauge bosons and fermions are revealed, with distinctive quantum numbers and decay modes.

Unitarity constraints on top quark signatures of Higgsless models

We use conditions for unitarity cancellations to constrain the couplings of the top and bottom quarks to Kaluza-Klein modes in Higgsless models of electroweak symmetry breaking. An example for the mass spectrum of quark resonances in a theory space model is given and the implications for the collider phenomenology in the top sector are discussed, comparing to signatures of Little Higgs and stro...

Lectures on Technicolor and Compositeness

Lecture 1 provides an introduction to dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. Lectures 2 and 3 give an introduction to compositeness, with emphasis on effective lagrangians, power-counting, and the 't Hooft anomaly-matching conditions. The simplest theory of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking is technicolor. 3,4 Consider an SU (N T C) gauge theory with fermions in the fundamental represen...

Extra Dimension Kaluza-Klein Excitations and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

We review the possibilities that the Kaluza-Klein excitations of graviton states induce electroweak symmetry breaking and that electroweak symmetry breaking could have a large impact on KK phenomenology. In one popular approach [1] to extra dimensions with length scales far larger than the inverse Planck mass [2], ordinary particles are confined on a brane (having three spatial dimensions) with...

Kaluza - Klein Excitations and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

We explore the possibility that the Kaluza-Klein graviton states induce electroweak symmetry breaking. We also demonstrate that electroweak symmetry breaking could have a large impact on KK phenomenology. Recently, it has become clear that quantum gravity as described using extra dimensions, and the associated Kaluza-Klein excitations, could have effects at scales far below the measured Planck ...
