Methuselah mesons: heirs to a perjured parity Fermionic UV completions of little Higgs models

چکیده
We consider fermionic UV completions of little Higgs models and their associated T -parity-violating anomalous vertices. We show that the vacuum state of these models is unlikely to achieve the alignment necessary to realize anomaly-free coset theories. However, we will see that multi-link moose models posses an additional parity resulting in a novel phenomenology with long lived T -odd particles. Finally, we briefly discuss a method for identifying anomalous decays in colliders. ∗[email protected], [email protected]

Anomalies in Fermionic UV Completions of Little Higgs Models
We consider fermionic UV completions of little Higgs models and their associated T -parity-violating anomalous vertices. In particular, we investigate strategies to avoid such parity-violating anomalies. We show that it is unlikely a QCD-like UV completion could be used to implement a model with anomaly-free global symmetry groups. This is because the vacuum state is unlikely to achieve the nec...
متن کاملTopological physics in the standard model and beyond
Topological interactions are an essential ingredient for building consistent low-energy theories of fermions, gauge fields and Nambu-Goldstone bosons in the absence of explicit UV completions, such as in Little Higgs theories. These interactions are also a probe of UV completion physics that may be out of direct experimental reach. The technology of topological, or WessZumino-Witten interaction...
متن کاملLittle Higgs Models and Their Phenomenology
This article reviews the Little Higgs models of electroweak symmetry breaking and their phenomenology. Little Higgs models incorporate a light composite Higgs boson and remain perturbative until a scale of order 10 TeV, as required by precision electroweak data. The collective symmetry breaking mechanism, which forms the basis of Little Higgs models, is introduced. An explicit, fully realistic ...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses, Lepton Flavor Violations, and Flavor Changing Neutral Currents in Composite Little Higgs Model
Little higgs theories attribute light higgs to being one of a set of pseudo Nambu Goldstone bosons. This implies that the UV cutoff of the little higgs models should be around 10 TeV, and a new physics resides above the UV cutoff. The composite little higgs model, a candidate for UV physics of the littlest higgs model, incorporates supersymmetry into strong gauge dynamics. We find that this con...
متن کاملA Composite Little Higgs Model
We describe a natural UV complete theory with a composite little Higgs. Below a TeV we have the minimal Standard Model with a light Higgs, and an extra neutral scalar. At the TeV scale there are additional scalars, gauge bosons, and vector-like charge 2/3 quarks, whose couplings to the Higgs greatly reduce the UV sensitivity of the Higgs potential. Stabilization of the Higgs mass squared parame...
