A New Mechanism for Light Composite Higgs Bosons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Repeated symmetry-breaking and restoration phase transitions occur as one traverses the parameter space of interactions competing to align the vacuum. This phenomenon, augmented with a topcolor-like interaction, can make a composite Higgs boson’s mass and vacuum expectation value naturally much less than its underlying structure scale, without introducing new symmetries and their associated TeV-scale particles. We illustrate it by reconstructing a simple light composite Higgs model of electroweak symmetry breaking proposed by Georgi and Kaplan. [email protected] [email protected]

Higgs Pain? Take a Preon! *
The Higgs mechanism is the favourite cure for the main problem with electroweak unification, namely how to reconcile a gauge theory with the need for massive gauge bosons. This problem does not exist in preon models for quark and lepton substructure with composite Z 0 and W s, which, consequently, also avoid all other theoretical complications and paradoxes with the Higgs mechanism. We present ...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses, Lepton Flavor Violations, and Flavor Changing Neutral Currents in Composite Little Higgs Model
Little higgs theories attribute light higgs to being one of a set of pseudo Nambu Goldstone bosons. This implies that the UV cutoff of the little higgs models should be around 10 TeV, and a new physics resides above the UV cutoff. The composite little higgs model, a candidate for UV physics of the littlest higgs model, incorporates supersymmetry into strong gauge dynamics. We find that this con...
متن کاملComposite Weak Bosons: a Lattice Analysis
The Standard Model [1] (SM) describes the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions by a gauge theory based on the group GSM = SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) which is broken by the Higgs mechanism to SU(3)×U(1). The theory is essentially determined once the matter fields and their transformation under the local gauge transformations of GSM are specified. The matter fields (leptons and quarks) and the...
متن کاملA Dynamical Left–right Symmetry Breaking Model *
Left–right symmetry breaking in a model with composite Higgs scalars is discussed. It is assumed that the low–energy degrees of freedom are just fermions and gauge bosons and that the Higgs bosons are generated dynamically through a set of gauge– and parity–invariant 4-fermion operators. It is shown that in a model with composite bi-doublet and two triplet scalars there is no parity breaking at...
متن کاملPartially composite 2-Higgs doublet model
In the extra dimensional scenarios with gauge fields in the bulk, the KaluzaKlein (KK) gauge bosons can induce Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) type attractive fourfermion interactions, which can break electroweak symmetry dynamically with accompanying composite Higgs fields. We consider a possibility that electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) is triggered by both a fundamental Higgs and a composite Hig...
