Dynamical Electroweak Breaking : Issues and Challenges ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
After briefly remarking on alternatives for breaking the electroweak symmetry, I discuss the implication that recent precision experiments at LEP have for the symmetry breaking sector. The difficulties associated with generating fermion masses when the electroweak symmetry is broken dynamically are exposed and an alternative to the walking technicolor-extended technicolor scenario is suggested, based on models of substructure. Failures and lessons from trying to incorporate families and mixing in these latter schemes are also discussed.

Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
These lectures explored the idea that the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking arises from novel strong dynamics. We started from the familiar strong-interaction dynamics of QCD, introduced simple dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking models whose strong dynamics imitate those of QCD, analyzed the limitations of these models, and finally moved on to theories whose dynamics differ from tho...

متن کاملIsospin Breaking and the Top-quark Mass in Models of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking∗
In this talk we review the physics of top-quark mass generation in models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and the constraints on this physics arising from limits on the deviation of the weak interaction ρ-parameter from one. We then discuss top-color assisted technicolor in this context. 1. mt in Models of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking In technicolor models, the masses of t...
متن کاملSupersymmetry Breaking and Gauge Mediation
We review recent works on supersymmetry breaking and gauge mediation. We survey our current understanding of dynamical supersymmetry breaking mechanisms and describe new model building tools using duality, meta-stability, and stringy construction. We discuss phenomenological constraints and their solutions, paying attentions to issues with gaugino masses and electroweak symmetry breaking.
متن کاملPropagating Higgs Boundstates from Sfermions
A model of supersymmetric dynamical electroweak breaking with propagating sfermionic Higgs boundstates is constructed. The low energy effective theory is represented by a slight extension of the MSSM, including 2 additional Higgs doublets and neutrino Yukawa couplings. A large tanβ is a necessary condition. The model could be relevant in approaches which derive propagating Higgs boundstates fro...
