The Next Generation

Abstract

We consider the possibility of non-sequential generation(s) of Standard Model -like matter as a consequence of cancellation of global and gauge anomalies due to a new strongly interacting sector responsible for the electroweak symmetry breaking. We consider concrete models for the strong dynamics and outline several scenarios for the next generation. For these we provide analysis of the precision constraints as well as a discussion on collider signatures and implications for cosmology.
