Composite fermions in Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
نویسندگان
چکیده
If the electroweak symmetry is broken by some unspecified strong dynamics, composite fermions may exist with definite transformation properties under SU(2)L×SU(2)R/SU(2)L+R and may play a role in giving masses by mixing to all the standard quarks and leptons. Assuming this to be the case, we analyze the role of Singlets, Doublets and Triplets in the ElectroWeak Precision Tests and in Flavour Physics. Doublets and Triplets are generically disfavoured. In the Singlet case, we specify the breaking patterns of the flavour group that allow to keep the CKM picture of flavour physics and we discuss the effects of the mixing between composite and elementary fermions. These mixings affect in particular the rather peculiar LHC phenomenology of the composite fermions.

Phenomenology of Mirror Fermions in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-Parity
Little Higgs models are an interesting alternative to explain electroweak symmetry breaking without fine-tuning. Supplemented with a discrete symmetry (T-parity) constraints from electroweak precision data are naturally evaded and also a viable dark matter candidate is obtained. T-parity implies the existence of new (mirror) fermions in addition to the heavy gauge bosons of the little Higgs mod...
متن کاملFermion masses and the symmetry breaking; Strong interactions spin quantum number as the unifier of the strong and electroweak interactions
The origin of the fermion generations is discussed. A strong interactions spin IS is introduced which unifies the quarks and leptons as two multiplets of this spin. The electroweak vector bosons and gluons emerge as the fused states of these fermion multiplets. We discussed the possibility of existence of the electroweak spin quantum number IW = 1 2 for all fermions besides their space time spi...
متن کاملElectroweak Symmetry Breaking via a Technicolor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio Model
We consider a theory of gauge fields and fermions which we argue gives rise to dynamics similar to that of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model when a gauge coupling constant is appropriately fine-tuned. We discuss the application of this model to dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking by a top-quark condensate. In this model, custodial symmetry is violated solely by perturbatively weak interact...

متن کاملFundamental composite ( Goldstone ) Higgs dynamics
We provide a unified description, both at the effective and fundamental Lagrangian level, of models of composite Higgs dynamics where the Higgs itself can emerge, depending on the way the electroweak symmetry is embedded, either as a pseudo-Goldstone boson or as a massive excitation of the condensate. We show that, in general, these states mix with repercussions on the electroweak physics and p...
