Abstract

Techni-dilaton, a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of scale symmetry, was predicted long ago in the Scale-invariant/Walking/Conformal Technicolor (SWC-TC) as a remnant of the (approximate) scale symmetry associated with the conformal fixed point, based on the conformal gauge dynamics of ladder Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation with non-running coupling. We study the techni-dilaton as a flavor-singlet bound state of techni-fermions by including the techni-gluon condensate (tGC) effect into the previous (bottom-up) holographic approach to the SWC-TC, a deformation of the holographic QCD with by large anomalous dimension . With including a bulk scalar field corresponding to the gluon condensate, we first improve the Operator Product Expansion of the current correlators so as to reproduce gluonic term both in QCD and SWC-TC. We find in QCD about (negative) contribution of gluon condensate to the meson mass. We also calculate the oblique electroweak -parameter in the presence of the effect of the tGC and find that for the fixed value of the tGC effects dramatically reduce the flavor-singlet scalar (techni-dilaton) mass (in the unit of ), while the vector and axial-vector masses and are rather insensitive to the tGC, where is the decay constant of the techni-pion. If we use the range of values of tGC implied by the ladder SD analysis of the non-perturbative scale anomaly in the large QCD near the conformal window, the phenomenological constraint predicts the techni-dilaton mass GeV which is within reach of LHC discovery.
