Direct Tests of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

E. H. Simmons, R. S. Chivukula, J. Terning

We review the connection between and the vertex in ETC models and discuss the resulting experimental constraint on models with weak-singlet ETC bosons. We mention…

Gluino mass from dynamical supersymmetry breaking

Bogdan A. Dobrescu

We present a new mechanism for gluino mass generation in models of dynamical supersymmetry breaking. The mechanism requires two colored chiral superfields which feel a nonabelian g…

E. H. Simmons, R. S. Chivukula, J. Terning

We review the connection between and the vertex in ETC models and demonstrate the power of the resulting experimental constraint on models with weak-singlet ETC bo…

Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and the Top Quark

R. Sekhar Chivukula

In this talk I discuss theories of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, with emphasis on the implications of a heavy top-quark on the weak-interaction parameter.

Limits on Pseudoscalar Bosons From Rare Decays at LEP

Gautam Rupak, Elizabeth H. Simmons

Current LEP data on rare decays constrain nonminimal technicolor models that contain light neutral pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons (). We discuss the production and decay of…

Color-Singlet Technipions at the Tevatron

Kenneth Lane

I discuss production and detection at the Tevatron $\pbarp$ collider of pairs of light ($\mpi = 100$--$200\,\gev$) color--singlet technipions that are expected in all nonminimal mo…

Limits on Non-Commuting Extended Technicolor

R. S. Chivukula, E. H. Simmons, J. Terning

Using precision electroweak data, we put limits on non-commuting extended technicolor models. We conclude that these models are viable only if the ETC interactions are strong. Inte…

Flavor-Changing Neutral Current Constraints in Topcolor-Assisted Technicolor

Dimitris Kominis

It is argued that the topcolor models recently proposed by Hill [1] may face significant constraints from flavor-changing neutral current processes (such as mixing) unl…

Isospin Breaking and the Top-Quark Mass in Models of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

R. Sekhar Chivukula, Bogdan Dobrescu, John Terning

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…

Bhashyam Balaji

We show that the present limit on the inclusive decay provides strong constraints on Technicolor models. In particular, small values of and the mass of char…

Goldstone Bosons in the Appelquist-Terning ETC Model

Bhashyam Balaji

It is demonstrated that the extended technicolor model proposed recently by Appelquist and Terning has pair of potentially light Goldstone bosons coupling to ordinary matter…

Production of neutral pseudo-Goldstone bosons at LEP II and NLC in multiscale walking technicolor models

Vittorio Lubicz, Pietro Santorelli

Walking technicolor (WTC) models predict the existence of heavy neutral pseudo-Goldstone bosons (PGBs), whose masses are typically expected to be larger than 100 GeV. In this paper…

Strong W_L W_L Scattering

R. Sekhar Chivukula

I describe theories of a strongly-interacting electroweak symmetry breaking sector and discuss the expected size of anomalous weak-boson couplings in these models.

Anomalous Gluon Self-Interactions and Production

E. H. Simmons, P. Cho

Strong-interaction physics that lies beyond the standard model may conveniently be described by an effective Lagrangian. The only genuinely gluonic CP-conserving term at dimension…

Fermion Masses without Higgs: A Supersymmetric Technicolor Model

Bogdan A. Dobrescu

We propose a supersymmetric technicolor model in which the electroweak symmetry breaking is communicated to the quarks and leptons by technicolored -singlet scalars. When…

Natural Topcolor--Assisted Technicolor

Kenneth Lane, Estia Eichten

We construct a prototype of topcolor--assisted technicolor in which, although both top and bottom quarks acquire some mass from extended technicolor, strong couplings of tec…

Gauge Invariant Variables for Spontaneously Broken SU(2) Gauge Theory in the Spherical Ansatz

Edward Farhi, Krishna Rajagopal, Robert Singleton

We describe classical solutions to the Minkowski space equations of motion of SU(2) gauge theory coupled to a Higgs field in the spatial spherical ansatz. We show how to reduce the…

Theory of a Strongly Interacting Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Sector

R. Sekhar Chivukula, Michael J. Dugan, Mitchell Golden +1

In this review we discuss theories of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector in which the and interactions become strong at an energy scale not larger than a few TeV.

Isospin Breaking and Fine Tuning in Top-Color Assisted Technicolor

R. S. Chivukula, B. A. Dobrescu, J. Terning

Recently, Hill has proposed a model in which new, potentially low-energy, top-color interactions produce a top-condensate ({\em a la} Nambu---Jona-Lasinio) and accommodate a heavy…

Strongly Coupled Electroweak Symmetry Breaking: Implications of Models

R. Sekhar Chivukula, Rogerio Rosenfeld, Elizabeth H. Simmons +1

The profile of a nonstandard Higgs boson at the LHC

Dimitris Kominis, Vassilis Koulovassilopoulos

In a wide class of extensions of the Standard Model there is a scalar resonance with the quantum numbers of the usual Higgs boson but with different couplings to fermions and gauge…

Top Quarks and Flavor Physics

Kenneth Lane

Because of the top quark's very large mass, about 175~GeV, it now provides the best window into flavor physics. Thus, pair--production of top quarks at the Tevatron Collider is the…

Technicolor

Kenneth Lane

Technicolor, with extended technicolor, is the theory of dynamical electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking at energies far below the Planck scale. To motivate it, I describe the m…
