Phenomenology of Mirror Fermions in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-Parity
نویسنده
چکیده
Little Higgs models are an interesting alternative to explain electroweak symmetry breaking without fine-tuning. Supplemented with a discrete symmetry (T-parity) constraints from electroweak precision data are naturally evaded and also a viable dark matter candidate is obtained. T-parity implies the existence of new (mirror) fermions in addition to the heavy gauge bosons of the little Higgs models. In this paper we consider the effects of the mirror fermions on the phenomenology of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity at the LHC. We study the most promising production channels and decay chains for the new particles. We find that the mirror fermions have a large impact on the magnitude of signal rates and on the new physics signatures. Realistic background estimates are given.

Consequences of T-parity breaking in the Littlest Higgs model
In this paper we consider the effects of the T-parity violating anomalous WessZumino-Witten-Term in the Littlest Higgs model. Apart from tree level processes, the loop induced decays of the heavy mirror particles into light standard model fermions lead to a new and rich phenomenology in particular at breaking scales f below 1 TeV. Various processes are calculated and their signatures at present...
متن کاملProduction of mirror fermions via eγ and ep collisions in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity
One of the important features of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity, called the LHT model, is that it introduces the mirror fermions, which are the T-parity partners of the standard model fermions. In this paper, we discuss production of the mirror quark associated with mirror neutrino via eγ and ep collisions. We find that, in wide range of the parameter space, the mirror quark can be copi...
متن کاملPhenomenology of Littlest Higgs Model with T-parity: including effects of T-odd fermions
We study the collider phenomenology of a Littlest Higgs model with T-parity. We first stress the important role of the T-odd SU(2) doublet fermions (introduced to make the model T-parity invariant) in high energy scattering processes, such as qq̄ → W HW H where W± H are the T-odd partners of W -bosons. Because the mass of the T-odd SU(2) doublet fermions cannot be too heavy to be consistent with...
متن کاملTop quark chromomagnetic dipole moment in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity
The littlest Higgs model with T-parity, which is called LHT model, predicts the existence of the new particles, such as heavy top quark, heavy gauge bosons, and mirror fermions. We calculate the one-loop contributions of these new particles to the top quark chromomagnetic dipole moment (CMDM) ∆K. We find that the contribution of the LHT model is one order of magnitude smaller than the standard ...
متن کاملPhenomenology of the Littlest Higgs with T-Parity
Little Higgs models offer an interesting approach to weakly coupled electroweak symmetry breaking without fine tuning. The original little Higgs models were plagued by strong constraints from electroweak precision data which required a fine tuning to be reintroduced. An economical solution to this problem is to introduce a discrete symmetry (analogous to R-parity of SUSY) called T-parity. T-par...
