in Technicolor with Scalars

Yumian Su

We compute the flavor changing neutral current process in technicolor models with scalars. We find that the branching ratio can be enhanced relative to that of…

A Comment on the Zero Temperature Chiral Phase Transition in Gauge Theories

R. Sekhar Chivukula

Recently Appelquist, Terning, and Wijewardhana investigated the zero temperature chiral phase transition in SU(N) gauge theory as the number of fermions N_f is varied. They argued…

Top Decay in Topcolor-Assisted Technicolor

B. Balaji

Conventional technicolor models with light charged technipions () lead to an unacceptably large contribution to $t\ra {π^+_T} b$ decay rate. Topcolor-assisted technicol…

The strong CP problem versus Planck scale physics

Bogdan A. Dobrescu

We discuss conditions that should be satisfied by axion models for solving the strong CP problem. It has been observed that Planck scale effects may render the axion models ineffec…

Signals of Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking in a Hidden Sector

B. A. Dobrescu, S. Mrenna

If supersymmetry is dynamically broken in a hidden sector, the gauginos typically have unacceptably small masses. This situation can be corrected if a non-Abelian gauge interaction…

Estimating Vacuum Tunneling Rates

Indranil Dasgupta

We show that in Euclidean field theories that have bounce solutions, the bounce with the least action is the global minimum of the action in an open space of field configurations.…

B-factory Physics from Effective Supersymmetry

Andrew G. Cohen, David B. Kaplan, Francois Lepeintre +1

We discuss how to extract non-Standard Model effects from B-factory phenomenology. We then analyze the prospects for uncovering evidence for Effective Supersymmetry, a class of sup…

Binary String Dynamics

Indranil Dasgupta, Ryan Rohm

In this paper we investigate the dynamical properties of binary cosmic strings. We find extrinsic curvature dependence of the string action and show that kinks on binary strings ar…

Electroweak and Flavor Dynamics at Hadron Colliders--I

Estia Eichten, Kenneth Lane

This is the first of two reports cataloging the principal signatures of electroweak and flavor dynamics at $\pbarp$ and colliders. Here, we discuss some of the signatures of d…

Custodial Symmetry and the Triviality Bound on the Higgs Mass

R. S. Chivukula, E. H. Simmons

The triviality of the scalar sector of the standard one-doublet Higgs model implies that it is only an effective low-energy theory valid below some cut-off scale . In this note…

Coloron Phenomenology

E. H. Simmons

A flavor-universal extension of the strong interactions was recently proposed in response to the apparent excess of high- jets in the inclusive jet spectrum measured at the Te…

The More Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

A. G. Cohen, D. B. Kaplan, A. E. Nelson

Effective Supersymmetry is presented as a theory of physics above the electroweak scale which has significant theoretical advantages over both the standard model and the Minimal Su…

Transport Phenomena and Electroweak Baryogenesis in the Two-doublet Higgs Model

Gian Franco Bonini

We use transport equations to compute the evolution of the quark plasma at the electroweak phase transition in the two-doublet Higgs model, obtaining in a more rigorous and quantit…

The Lowest Order Hadronic Contribution to the Muon Value with Systematic Error Correlations

D. H. Brown, W. A. Worstell

We have performed a new evaluation of the hadronic contribution to of the muon with explicit correlations of systematic errors among the experimental data on $σ( e^+e…

Low-Scale Technicolor at the Tevatron

Estia Eichten, Kenneth Lane

In multiscale models of walking technicolor, relatively light color-singlet technipions are produced in $q \ol q$ annihilation in association with longitudinal and bosons a…

Vacuum Instability in Low-Energy Supersymmetry Breaking Models

Indranil Dasgupta, Bogdan A. Dobrescu, Lisa Randall

We show that for the simplest models of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, including all existing models, the true vacuum will not preserve QCD if it communicates supersymmetry…

Precision Electroweak Constraints on Top-Color Assisted Technicolor

R. S. Chivukula, J. Terning

Using precision electroweak data, we put limits on ``natural'' top-color assisted technicolor models. Generically the new gauge bosons in these models must have masses large…

Baryogenesis from Cosmic Strings at the Electroweak Scale

Indranil Dasgupta

We explore the viability of baryogenesis from light scalar decays after the electroweak phase transition. A minimal model of this kind is constructed with new CP violating interact…

New Strong Interactons at the Tevatron ?

R. S. Chivukula, A. G. Cohen, E. H. Simmons

Recent results from CDF indicate that the inclusive cross section for jets with GeV is significantly higher than that predicted by QCD. We describe here a simple flavor…

Symmetry Breaking and Generational Mixing in Topcolor--Assisted Technicolor

Kenneth Lane

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.…

The Zero Temperature Chiral Phase Transition in SU(N) Gauge Theories

Thomas Appelquist, John Terning, L. C. R. Wijewardhana

We investigate the zero temperature chiral phase transition in an SU(N) gauge theory as the number of fermions is varied. We argue that there exists a critical number of ferm…

Elizabeth H. Simmons, Yumian Su

We compute the one-loop corrections to the vertex in the symmetric minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. We find that the predicted valu…

Computational Study of Baryon Number Violation in High Energy Electroweak Collisions

Claudio Rebbi, Robert Singleton

We use semiclassical methods to study processes which give rise to change of topology and therefore to baryon number violation in the standard model. We consider classically allowe…
