Lepton Number Violation in Top-Color Assisted Technicolor
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate the rates for lepton number violating processes via the exchange of the Z ′ boson occuring in top-color assisted technicolor. We found that μ-e conversion in nuclei is about an order of magnitude better than μ → 3e for constraining the magnitudes of the lepton mixing angles. The decay μ → eγ yields much weaker bounds. The current experimental limits allow for a mass of the new gauge boson around 1 TeV and the magnitudes of the mixing angles turn out to lie roughly between the analogous elements of the CKM matrix and its square root.

Symmetry breaking and generational mixing in top-color-assisted technicolor.
Topcolor–assisted technicolor provides a dynamical explanation for electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking and for the large mass of the top quark without unnatural fine tuning. A major challenge is to generate the observed mixing between heavy and light generations while breaking the strong topcolor interactions near 1TeV. I argue that these phenomena, as well as electroweak symmetry breaking...
متن کاملPrecision Electroweak Constraints on Top-Color Assisted Technicolor
Using precision electroweak data, we put limits on “natural” top-color assisted technicolor models. Generically the new U(1) gauge bosons in these models must have masses larger than roughly 2 TeV, although in certain (seemingly unrealistic) models the bound can be much lower. ∗e-mail addresses: [email protected], [email protected]
متن کاملThe neutral top-pion and the lepton flavor violating Z decays Z → lilj
Taking into account the constraints of the present experimental limit of the process μ → eγ on the free parameters of topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) models, we calculate the contributions of the neutral top-pion to the lepton flavor violating(LFV) Z decays Z → lilj. Our results show that the value of the branching ratio Br(Z → τ l) is larger than that of Br(Z → μe) in all of the parameter s...
متن کاملIsospin Breaking and the Top-quark Mass in Models of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking∗
In this talk we review the physics of top-quark mass generation in models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and the constraints on this physics arising from limits on the deviation of the weak interaction ρ-parameter from one. We then discuss top-color assisted technicolor in this context. 1. mt in Models of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking In technicolor models, the masses of t...
متن کاملIsospin Breaking and Fine Tuning in Top-Color Assisted Technicolor
Recently, Hill has proposed a model in which new, potentially low-energy, top-color interactions produce a top-condensate (a la Nambu—Jona-Lasinio) and accommodate a heavy top quark, while technicolor is responsible for producing the W and Z masses. Here we argue that isospin breaking gauge interactions, which are necessary in order to split the top and bottom quark masses, are likely to couple...
