A Realistic Technicolor Model from 150 TeV down

Abstract

A realistic technicolor model is presented with the dynamics below $150$ TeV treated explicitly. Electroweak symmetry is broken by the condensates of a `minimal' doublet of technifermions. The new feature of the model is that the the third generation quarks are unified with the technifermions into multiplets of a walking gauge force down to a scale of $10$ TeV. The remaining quarks and leptons are not involved in this unification however. The walking dynamics enhances the higher dimension interactions which give the ordinary fermions their masses and mixing, while leaving flavor-changing neutral currents suppressed. Because the third generation quarks actually feel the walking force their masses can be much larger than those of the other quarks and the leptons. The only non-standard particles with masses below several TeV are the single doublet of technifermions, so electroweak radiative corrections are estimable and within experimental limits.
