A Guide to Flavour Changing Neutral Currents in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-parity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flavour changing neutral current processes, being strongly suppressed in the Standard Model (SM), provide a unique window to new physics at scales much above the electroweak scale. Here, we summarize the recent progress in flavour physics studies of the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity, both in the quark and lepton sector. Particular emphasis is put on various correlations that could distinguish this model from other extensions of the SM.

Ultraviolet divergences of flavor changing amplitudes in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity
Flavor changing neutral current processes are studied in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity. It is found that the logarithmic divergence reported earlier in Z boson flavor changing processes is exactly canceled by contributions from additional interaction terms of heavy fermions and the Z boson. Phenomenologi-cal impact on the K → π ν ¯ ν processes is discussed.
متن کاملA vector-like heavy quark in the Littlest Higgs model
The Littlest Higgs model contains a new vector-like heavy quark in the up sector. There are two interesting features of its existence. One is that it extends the 3 × 3 CKM matrix in the Standard Model to a 4 × 3 matrix and the other is that it allows Z-mediated flavor changing neutral currents at tree level in the up sector but not in the down sector. We examine a few of possible windows in whi...
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 کاملMixing and Cp-violation in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-parity
The results of an extensive flavour physics analysis in the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity are presented. In particular, mixing and CP-violation in K − K̄ and B d,s − B̄ d,s systems have been studied. Several scenarios defined by the values of mirror quark masses and the parameters of the new flavour mixing matrix VHd have been considered. A very interesting scenario is identified, where the ...
متن کاملPrecise limits from lepton flavour violating processes on the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity
We recalculate the leading one-loop contributions to μ → eγ and μ → eeē in the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity, recovering previous results for the former. When all the Goldstone interactions are taken into account, the latter is also ultraviolet finite. The present experimental limits on these processes require a somewhat heavy effective scale ∼ 2.5 TeV, or the flavour alignment of the Yuka...
