Strong dynamics and electroweak symmetry breaking

CT Hill, EH Simmons - Physics Reports, 2003 - Elsevier
The breaking of electroweak symmetry, and origin of the associated “weak scale”, v weak=
1/2 2 GF= 175 GeV, may be due to a new strong interaction. Theoretical developments over …

Two-component spinor techniques and Feynman rules for quantum field theory and supersymmetry

HK Dreiner, HE Haber, SP Martin - Physics Reports, 2010 - Elsevier
Two-component spinors are the basic ingredients for describing fermions in quantum field
theory in 3+ 1 spacetime dimensions. We develop and review the techniques of the two …

PYTHIA 6.4 physics and manual

T Sjöstrand, S Mrenna, P Skands - Journal of High Energy …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
The Pythia program can be used to generate high-energy-physicsevents', ie sets of outgoing
particles produced in the interactions between two incoming particles. The objective is to …

Minimal dynamical symmetry breaking of the standard model

WA Bardeen, CT Hill, M Lindner - Physical Review D, 1990 - APS
We formulate the dynamical symmetry breaking of the standard model by a top-quark
condensate in analogy with BCS theory. The low-energy effective Lagrangian is the usual …

Hidden local symmetry at loop: A New perspective of composite gauge boson and chiral phase transition

M Harada, K Yamawaki - Physics Reports, 2003 - Elsevier
We develop an effective field theory of QCD and QCD-like theories beyond the Standard
Model, based on the hidden local symmetry (HLS) model for the pseudoscalar mesons (π) …

Topcolor: Top quark condensation in a gauge extension of the standard model

CT Hill - Physics Letters B, 1991 - Elsevier
We describe a color embedding, SU (3) c→ SU (3) 1× SU (3) 2, that is designed to break
electroweak symmetries through top quark condensation. The minimal scheme of Bardeen …

Dynamical left-right symmetry breaking

E Akhmedov, M Lindner, E Schnapka… - arxiv preprint hep-ph …, 1995 - arxiv.org
We study a left--right symmetric model which contains only elementary gauge boson and
fermion fields and no scalars. The phenomenologically required symmetry breaking …

Conformal window of gauge theories with fermions in higher dimensional representations

DD Dietrich, F Sannino - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2007 - APS
We study the phase diagram as a function of the number of colors and flavors of
asymptotically free nonsupersymmetric theories with matter in higher-dimensional …

Light composite Higgs boson from higher representations versus electroweak precision measurements: predictions for CERN LHC

DD Dietrich, F Sannino, K Tuominen - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2005 - APS
We investigate theories in which the technifermions in higher dimensional representations of
the technicolor gauge group dynamically break the electroweak symmetry of the standard …

Left-right symmetry breaking in NJL approach

E Akhmedov, M Lindner, E Schnapka, JWF Valle - Physics Letters B, 1996 - Elsevier
We study left-right symmetric models which contain only fermion and gauge boson fields
and no elementary scalars. The Higgs bosons are generated dynamically through a set of …
