Little Higgs models with a light T quark

Abstract

We study Little Higgs models based on a SU(3)_1 x SU(3)_2 global symmetry and with two scales (the two vacuum expectation values f_{1,2}) substantially different. We show that all the extra vector boson fields present in these models may be much heavier than the vectorlike T quark necessary to cancel top-quark quadratic corrections. In this case the models become an extension of the standard model with a light (500 GeV) T quark and a scalar Higgs field with a large singlet component. We obtain that the Yukawa and the gauge couplings of the Higgs are smaller than in the standard model, a fact that reduces significantly the Higgs production rate through glu-glu and WW fusion. The T-quark decay into Higgs boson becomes then a dominant Higgs production channel in hadron colliders.
