Unitarity constraints on top quark signatures of Higgsless models
نویسنده
چکیده
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 strong electroweak symmetry breaking models.

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 کاملAn Effective Higgsless Theory: Satisfying Electroweak Constraints and a Heavy Top Quark
The main challenge faced by Higgsless models of electroweak symmetry breaking is to reconcile the experimental constraints imposed by the precision electroweak data and the top quark phenomenology with the unitarity constraints imposed by longitudinal gauge boson scattering amplitudes. In this paper we expand on previous work, giving details of how delocalized fermions can be used to adjust the...
متن کاملFrom Tree Unitarity to Top Quark Physics in 5D Higgsless Models
In five dimensional models of Higgsless electroweak symmetry breaking, tree level unitarity in gauge boson scattering is restored by the exchange of gauge boson KaluzaKlein modes instead of a Higgs boson. Unitarity of scattering amplitudes involving top quarks requires also the Kaluza-Klein modes of the third family quarks. It is shown that the relevant unitarity cancellations are consistent wi...
متن کاملCuring the Ills of Higgsless Models: the S Parameter and Unitarity
We consider various constraints on Higgsless models of electroweak symmetry breaking based on a bulk SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1)B−L gauge group in warped space. First we show that the S parameter which is positive if fermions are localized on the Planck brane can be lowered (or made vanishing) by changing the localization of the light fermions. If the wave function of the light fermions is almost flat t...
متن کاملPhenomenology of Higgsless Models at the LHC and the ILC
We investigate the signatures of the recently proposed Higgsless models at future colliders. We focus on tests of the mechanism of partial unitarity restoration in the longitudinal vector boson scattering, which do not depend on any Higgsless model-building details. We study the LHC discovery reach for charged massive vector boson resonances and show that all of the preferred parameter space wi...
