Higgsless Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
نویسنده
چکیده
We study tree level corrections to precision electroweak physics in the recently proposed Higgsless models in warped space. Such models inherit from their similarity with technicolor theories a large contribution to the oblique parameters, S in particular. We show that it is possible to suppress S using brane induced kinetic terms and unequal left-right bulk gauge couplings, paying the price of heavy KK modes. In the allowed region, they are eventually ineffective in restoring perturbative unitarity in W scattering above 2 TeV. Even though this looks like a difficult problem to overcome for these models, we show that it can be easily solved by delocalizing the light fermions.

Higgsless Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
In these proceedings I describe the use of tree level unitarity to constrain top quark signatures of Higgsless electroweak models and discuss implications for collider phenomenology.
متن کاملTASI Lectures on Electroweak Symmetry Breaking from Extra Dimensions∗
This is a pedagogical introduction into the possible uses and effects of extra dimensions in electroweak (TeV scale) physics, and in particular to models of electroweak symmetry breaking via boundary conditions (“higgsless models”). It is self contained: all the aspects of extra dimensional and electroweak physics used here are reviewed, before we apply these concepts to higgsless models. In th...
متن کاملTop and Bottom: a Brane of Their Own
We consider extra dimensional descriptions of models where there are two separate strongly interacting sectors contributing to electroweak symmetry breaking (“topcolor” type models). In the extra dimensional picture there would be two separate (anti-de Sitter) bulks meeting on the Planck brane, with each bulk having its own corresponding IR (TeV) brane. Sources for electroweak symmetry breaking...
متن کاملUnitarity 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...

We present a six-dimensional Higgsless Standard Model with a realistic gauge sector. The model uses only the Standard Model gauge group SU(2)L × U(1)Y with the gauge bosons propagating in flat extra dimensions compactified on a rectangle. The electroweak symmetry is broken by boundary conditions, and the correct splitting between the W and Z gauge boson masses can be arranged by suitable choice...
