iTIMP: isotriplet Technicolor Interacting Massive Particle as Dark Matter
Mads T. Frandsen, Francesco Sannino
We suggest that a weak isotriplet composite scalar possessing an unbroken U(1) global symmetry naturally arises in technicolor models leading to an interesting type of dark matter…
Conformal Dynamics for TeV Physics and Cosmology
Francesco Sannino
We introduce the topic of dynamical breaking of the electroweak symmetry and its link to unparticle physics and cosmology. The knowledge of the phase diagram of strongly coupled th…
Gravitational Techniwaves
Matti Jarvinen, Chris Kouvaris, Francesco Sannino
We investigate the production and possible detection of gravitational waves stemming from the electroweak phase transition in the early universe in models of minimal walking techni…
Probes of nearly conformal behavior in lattice simulations of minimal walking technicolor
Simon Catterall, Joel Giedt, Francesco Sannino +1
We present results from high precision, large volume simulations of the lattice gauge theory corresponding to minimal walking technicolor. We find evidence that the pion decay cons…
Unnatural Origin of Fermion Masses for Technicolor
M. Antola, M. Heikinheimo, F. Sannino +1
We explore the scenario in which the breaking of the electroweak symmetry is due to the simultaneous presence and interplay of a dynamical sector and an unnatural elementary Higgs.…
Higher Representations Duals
Francesco Sannino
We uncover novel solutions of the 't Hooft anomaly matching conditions for scalarless gauge theories with matter transforming according to higher dimensional representations of the…
Minimal Flavor Constraints for Technicolor
Hidenori S. Fukano, Francesco Sannino
We analyze the constraints on the the vacuum polarization of the standard model gauge bosons from a minimal set of flavor observables valid for a general class of models of dynamic…
QCD Dual
Francesco Sannino
We uncover a novel solution of the 't Hooft anomaly matching conditions for QCD. Interestingly in the perturbative regime the new gauge theory, if interpreted as a possible QCD dua…
Conformal House
Thomas A Ryttov, Francesco Sannino
We investigate the gauge dynamics of nonsupersymmetric SU(N) gauge theories featuring the simultaneous presence of fermionic matter transforming according to two distinct represent…
The Electroweak Phase Transition in Ultra Minimal Technicolor
Matti Jarvinen, Thomas A. Ryttov, Francesco Sannino
We unveil the temperature-dependent electroweak phase transition in new extensions of the Standard Model in which the electroweak symmetry is spontaneously broken via strongly coup…
Conformal Windows of SP(2N) and SO(N) Gauge Theories
Francesco Sannino
We study the nonperturbative dynamics of nonsupersymmetric asymptotically free gauge theories with fermionic matter in distinct representations of the SO(N) and Sp(2N) gauge groups…
Extra Electroweak Phase Transitions from Strong Dynamics
Matti Jarvinen, Thomas A. Ryttov, Francesco Sannino
We show that models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking can possess an extremely rich finite temperature phase diagram. We suggest that early-universe extra electroweak phas…
