Little Higgs models and electroweak measurements

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

One light composite Higgs boson facing electroweak precision tests

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.

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

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

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

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

Double Higgs Production at the LHC as a Robust Test of Little Higgs Models

Dib, Claudio O. ; Rosenfeld, Rogerio ; Zerwekh, Alfonso - AIP Conference Proceedings

We analyze double Higgs boson production at the LHC in the context of Little Higgs models. In double Higgs production, the diagrams involved are directly related to those that cause the cancellation of the quadratic divergence of the Higgs self-energy, so this mode provides a robust prediction for this class of models. We find that in extensions of this model with the inclusion of a so-called T-parity, there is a significant enhancement in the cross sections as compared to the Standard Model.
