CP Violation and Flavor Mixing in Technicolor Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vacuum alignment in technicolor models provides an attractive origin for the quarks’ CP violation and, possibly, a natural solution for the strong-CP problem of QCD. We discuss these topics in this paper. Then we apply them to determine plausible mixing matrices for left and right-handed quarks. These matrices determine the CabibboKobayashi-Maskawa matrix as well as new mixing angles and phases that are observable in extended technicolor (ETC) and topcolor (TC2) interactions. We determine the contributions of these new interactions to CP-violating and mixing observables in the K0, Bd and Bs systems. We confirm our earlier strong lower bounds on TC2 gauge boson masses from Bd–B̄d mixing. We then pay special attention to the possibility that current experiments indicate a deviation from standard model expectations of the values of sin 2β measured in Bd → J/ψKS , φKS , ηKS , and πKS , studying the ability of TC2 to account for these. We also determine the TC2 contribution to ∆MBs and to Re(ǫ/ǫ), and find them to be appreciable. [email protected] [email protected] 1

Strong and Weak Cp Violation in Technicolor
I discuss vacuum alignment and CP violation in technicolor theories of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking. I review the surprising appearance of rational phase solutions in the technifermion sector and propose a new solution of the strong CP problem of quarks. I then discuss the sources of weak CP violation, in both the CKM matrix and the suppressed extended technicolor and topcolor–assis...

متن کاملTwo Lectures on Technicolor
These two lectures on technicolor and extended technicolor (ETC) were presented at l’Ecole de GIF at LAPP, Annecy-le-Vieux, France, in September 2001. In Lecture I, the motivation and structure of this theory of dynamical breaking of electroweak and flavor symmetries is summarized. The main phenomenological obstacles to this picture— flavor–changing neutral currents, precision electroweak measu...

This review is based on lectures on technicolor and extended technicolor presented at the Frascati Spring School in May 2000. I summarize the motivation and structure of this theory of dynamical breaking of electroweak and flavor symmetries. Particular attention is paid to the main phenomenological obstacles to this picture— flavor–changing neutral currents, precision electroweak measurements, ...
متن کاملNeutrino Mixing and CP Violation in Matter
Within the framework of three lepton families I present a transparent analytical relationship between the neutrino mixing and CP-violating parameters in vacuum and thos in matter. Such a modeland parametrization-independent result will be particularly useful to recast the fundamental lepton flavor mixing matrix from the future long-baseline neutrino experiments. Today strong evidence, that neut...
