Multi-Higgs systems in bosonic technicolor

Journal Article Kagan, A ; Samuel, S - International Journal of Modern Physics A; (United States)

Multi-Higgs systems are combined with bosonic technicolor to construct a viable model of TeV physics. In such models, there is potentially a flavor problem in either the supersymmetric or the Higgs sector. However, the naturally larger mass scales for supersymmetry breaking and Higgs masses, which is a salient feature of bosonic technicolor, allows one to resolve the GUT-hierarchy problem without large flavor violation. With a judicious choice of the Higgs system, hierarchies of family masses and mixing angles of the right order of magnitude are achieved without resorting to small Yukawa couplings. Some of these masses and mixing angles aremore »« less

Scalar bound state in nonminimal technicolor: A surrogate Higgs boson

Journal Article Cahn, R N ; Suzuki, M - Physical Review Letters; (USA)

Models with many technifermion doublets have enhanced interactions. The one-family technicolor model, which has four doublets, may well have a scalar bound state that resembles a Higgs boson. Using a bubble summation, which is justified in the limit of many isodoublets of technifermions, the binding energy and the decay width of the state can be calculated as a function of the technipion mass. Its partial width into {ital WW} and {ital ZZ} is of order 10--40 GeV, while the partial width into gluon-gluon is about 0.4 GeV. As a result, this surrogate Higgs boson would be narrow, but copiously producedmore » at very-high-energy hadron colliders.« less

The light composite Higgs boson in strong extended technicolor

Journal Article Lane, Kenneth ; Pritchett, Lukas - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

This paper extends an earlier one describing the Higgs boson H as a light composite scalar in a strong extended technicolor model of electroweak symmetry breaking. The Higgs mass M _H is made much smaller than Λ_ETC by tuning the ETC coupling very close to the critical value for electroweak symmetry breaking. The technicolor interaction, neglected in the earlier paper, is considered here. Its weakness relative to extended technicolor is essential to understanding the lightness of H compared to the low-lying spin-one technihadrons. Technicolor cannot be completely ignored, but implementing technigluon exchange together with strong extended technicolor appears difficult. Wemore »« less

Thesis/Dissertation Cortabitarte, Rocio Vilar

In the Standard Model (SM) of the elementary particles, the interactions among the known fundamental fermions (leptons and quarks) are mediated through gauge bosons which obey the symmetry: SU(3) Ⓧ SU(2) Ⓧ U(1). More precisely, the electroweak interaction [4-6] is described by a gauge symmetry SU(2) Ⓧ U(1) which is broken spontaneously. The electroweak symmetry breaking is implemented by the introduction of a complex scalar Higgs field which has a non-zero vacuum expectation value (vev). This way, the lagrangian of the theory remains invariant under SU(2) transformations, but quantization of the fields must start from a ground state which does not exhibit this symmetry, and therefore the full symmetry of the lagrangian is not manifest. Invariance of the theory under local SU(2) transformations implies the presence of vectorial gauge fields which mediate the electroweak interactions. The so called spontaneous symmetry breaking allows the quanta of these gauge fields, the W and Z bosons, to acquire a finite mass. The photon, the particle which mediates the electromagnetic interaction, remains massless. The Higgs boson is one of only two particles in the SM which have not yet been directly observed (the other is the v_τ, although there is indirect evidence of its existence). Although the SM does not predict the Higgs mass, a lower limit ~ 100 GeV/c² is set by LEPII data, and theoretical considerations prefer Higgs masses not higher than a few hundred GeV/c². At the Tevatron, a search for the Higgs boson is hard due to the small production cross section and the huge backgrounds that do not allow to see the signal clearly. It is still interesting, however, to perform sensitivity studies at the Tevatron. The easiest production channel to observe at the Tevatron is the associated production of Higgs with weak (W or Z) bosons. The Higgs boson coupling to the fermions increases with fermion mass, so the most likely decay in the mass range they are interested, M(H⁰) ~ 100 GeV/c², in is H → bmore »« less
