Little Higgs and precision electroweak tests
نویسنده
چکیده
All models containing new physics are highly constrained by the electroweak precision tests. In this note I consider the electroweak precision data constraints on Little Higgs models by using a general method based on the effective Lagrangian approach: one eliminates the heavy fields from the Lagrangian via their classical equations of motion in the limit of infinite mass, which means in practice that their mass must be much bigger than mW . In this way one obtains an effective Lagrangian in terms of the Standard model fields, from which we can directly read off the deviations.

Little Higgs Models and Their Phenomenology
This article reviews the Little Higgs models of electroweak symmetry breaking and their phenomenology. Little Higgs models incorporate a light composite Higgs boson and remain perturbative until a scale of order 10 TeV, as required by precision electroweak data. The collective symmetry breaking mechanism, which forms the basis of Little Higgs models, is introduced. An explicit, fully realistic ...
متن کاملHiggs Boson Searches at LEP 2
In this talk preliminary results of Higgs boson searches at LEP2 up to centre-of-mass energies of 183 GeV have been summarised. The main topics are searches for the Minimal Standard Model (MSM) Higgs boson and searches for neutral Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). No indication for Higgs production has been found. The experiments have published their Higgs search...
متن کاملHiggs-mass predictions and electroweak precision observables in the Standard Model and the MSSM∗
Higher-order results for electroweak precision observables in the Standard Model are analyzed in view of the experimental accuracies achievable at the present and the next generation of colliders, and the indirect prediction of the Higgs-boson mass from the precision data is discussed. Within the MSSM, two-loop results for the lightest CP-even Higgs-boson mass are confronted with the exclusion ...
متن کاملThe Intermediate Higgs
Two paradigms for the origin of electroweak superconductivity are a weakly coupled scalar condensate, and a strongly coupled fermion condensate. The former suffers from a finetuning problem unless there are cancelations to radiative corrections, while the latter presents potential discrepancies with precision electroweak physics. Here we present a framework for electroweak symmetry breaking whi...
متن کاملLimits on the Mass of a Composite Higgs Boson
Current results from the LEP Electroweak Working Group2,3 favor a Higgs boson mass that is relatively light. The “best-fit” value for the Higgs mass is somewhat less than experimental lower bound of 107.7 GeV reported at this conference.4 The 68% and 95% CL upper bounds from precision measurements, in the context of the standard model, are 127 and 188 GeV respectively. It is possible that, as t...
