Precision electroweak tests of the minimal and flipped SU(5) supergravity models

Journal Article Lopez, J.L. ; Nanopoulos, D.V. ; Park, G.T. ; ... - Physical Review, D (Particles Fields); (United States)

We explore the one-loop electroweak radiative corrections in the minimal SU(5) and the no-scale flipped SU(5) supergravity models via explicit calculation of vacuum polarization contributions to the [epsilon][sub 1,2,3] parameters. Experimentally, [epsilon][sub 1,2,3] are obtained from a global fit to the CERN LEP observables, and [ital M][sub [ital W]]/[ital M][sub [ital Z]] measurements. We include [ital q][sup 2]-dependent effects which have been neglected in most previous model-independent'' analyses of this type. These effects induce a large systematic negative shift on [epsilon][sub 1,2,3] for light chargino masses ([ital m][sub [chi]1][sup [plus minus]][approx lt]70 GeV). In agreement with previous general arguments wemore »« less

Little Higgs models and electroweak measurements

Journal Article Han Zhenyu ; Skiba, Witold - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Using effective field theory approach, we study the constraints from electroweak data on the SU(5)/SO(5), SU(6)/SP(6), SU(3)xU(1) little Higgs models and their variations. We construct an effective theory valid above the electroweak symmetry breaking scale in these models that includes dimension-six operators induced by integrating out heavy fields. We calculate the constraints on the models using the results of [Z. Han and W. Skiba, Phys. Rev. D 71, 075009 (2005)], where bounds on arbitrary linear combinations of flavor and CP conserving dimension-six operators are given. We present the constraints in terms of the bounds on the masses of heavy fermionsmore »« less

The little skyrmion : new dark matter for little Higgs models.

Journal Article Gillioz, M. ; von Manteuffel, A. ; Schwaller, P. ; ... - J. High Energy Phys.

We study skyrmions in the littlest Higgs model and discuss their possible role as dark matter candidates. Stable massive skyrmions can exist in the littlest Higgs model also in absence of an exact parity symmetry, since they carry a conserved topological charge due to the non-trivial third homotopy group of the SU(5)/SO(5) coset. We find a spherically symmetric skyrmion solution in this coset. The effects of gauge fields on the skyrmion solutions are analyzed and found to lead to an upper bound on the skyrmion mass. The relic abundance is in agreement with the observed dark matter density for reasonablemore » parameter choices.« less

One light composite Higgs boson facing electroweak precision tests

Journal Article Gillioz, Marc - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study analytically and numerically the bounds imposed by the electroweak precision tests on a minimal composite Higgs model. The model is based on spontaneous SO(5){yields}SO(4) breaking, so that an approximate custodial symmetry is preserved. The Higgs arises as a pseudo-Goldstone boson at a scale below the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. We show that one can satisfy the electroweak precision constraints without much fine-tuning. This is the case if the left-handed top quark is fully composite, which gives a mass spectrum within the reach of the LHC. However a composite top quark is strongly disfavored by flavor physics.

Collider Tests of the Little Higgs Model

Journal Article Burdman, Gustavo ; Perelstein, Maxim ; Pierce, Aaron - Physical Review Letters

The little Higgs model provides an alternative to traditional candidates for new physics at the TeV scale. The new heavy gauge bosons predicted by this model should be observable at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We discuss how the LHC experiments could test the little Higgs model by studying the production and decay of these particles.
