A pseudoscalar at the LHC: technicolor vs a fourth family
arXiv:1201.0185 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2012.02.041
Abstract
Condensates of colored fermions driving electroweak symmetry breaking could give rise to a light pseudoscalar that would show up in the Higgs search at the LHC. The branching ratios of its decay will distinguish it from the Higgs and illuminate its origin. In particular the colored fermions may be the techniquarks of a one family technicolor theory or the quarks of a strongly interacting fourth family. The former has more difficulties in this context.
