Composite Inflation Setup and Glueball Inflation
Fedor Bezrukov, Phongpichit Channuie, Jakob Jark Joergensen +1
We explore the paradigm according to which inflation is driven by a four-dimensional strongly coupled dynamics coupled non-minimally to gravity. We start by introducing the general…
Supersymmetric Extension of Technicolor & Fermion Mass Generation
Matti Antola, Stefano Di Chiara, Francesco Sannino +1
We provide a complete extension of Minimal Walking Technicolor able to account for the standard model fermion masses. The model is supersymmetric at energies greater or equal to th…
Dark Medium Modified Dispersion Relations
Isabella Masina, Francesco Sannino
We suggest that the dark side of the universe builds a dark medium modifying the Standard Model particle dispersion relations. We introduce the generic form for the modified disper…
Light Asymmetric Dark Matter on the Lattice: SU(2) Technicolor with Two Fundamental Flavors
Randy Lewis, Claudio Pica, Francesco Sannino
The SU(2) gauge theory with two massless Dirac flavors constitutes the building block of several models of Technicolor. Furthermore it has also been used as a template for the cons…
S-parameter at Non-Zero Temperature and Chemical Potential
Ulrik Ishøj Søndergaard, Claudio Pica, Francesco Sannino
We compute the finite-temperature and matter density corrections to the S-parameter at the one loop level. At non-zero temperature T and matter density Lorentz symmetry breaks and…
Light Dilaton at Fixed Points and Ultra Light Scale Super Yang Mills
Oleg Antipin, Matin Mojaza, Francesco Sannino
We investigate the infrared dynamics of a nonsupersymmetric SU(X) gauge theory featuring an adjoint fermion, Nf Dirac flavors and an Higgs-like complex Nf x Nf scalar which is a ga…
Charge Asymmetric Cosmic Rays as a probe of Flavor Violating Asymmetric Dark Matter
Isabella Masina, Francesco Sannino
The recently introduced cosmic sum rules combine the data from PAMELA and Fermi-LAT cosmic ray experiments in a way that permits to neatly investigate whether the experimentally ob…
Magnetic Fixed Points and Emergent Supersymmetry
Oleg Antipin, Matin Mojaza, Claudio Pica +1
We establish the existence of fixed points for certain gauge theories candidate to be magnetic duals of QCD with one adjoint Weyl fermion. In the perturbative regime of the magneti…
W' and Z' limits for Minimal Walking Technicolor
Jeppe R. Andersen, Tuomas Hapola, Francesco Sannino
We interpret the recent data on non-observation of Z'- and W'-bosons, reported by CMS, within Minimal Walking Technicolor models and use them to constrain the couplings and spectru…
Cosmic Ray Electron and Positron Excesses from a Fourth Generation Heavy Majorana Neutrino
Isabella Masina, Francesco Sannino
Unexpected features in the energy spectra of cosmic rays electrons and positrons have been recently observed by PAMELA and Fermi-LAT satellite experiments, opening to the exciting…
Discovering Technicolor
J. R. Andersen, O. Antipin, G. Azuelos +11
We provide a pedagogical introduction to extensions of the Standard Model in which the Higgs is composite. These extensions are known as models of dynamical electroweak symmetry br…
Vanilla Technicolor at Linear Colliders
Mads T. Frandsen, Matti Jarvinen, Francesco Sannino
We analyze the reach of Linear Colliders (LC)s for models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. We show that LCs can efficiently test the compositeness scale, identified with…
Composite Higgs to two Photons and Gluons
Tuomas Hapola, Francesco Sannino
We introduce a simple framework to estimate the composite Higgs boson coupling to two-photon in Technicolor extensions of the standard model. The same framework allows us to predic…
Minimal Composite Inflation
Phongpichit Channuie, Jakob Jark Joergensen, Francesco Sannino
We investigate models in which the inflaton emerges as a composite field of a four dimensional, strongly interacting and nonsupersymmetric gauge theory featuring purely fermionic m…
The Standard Model is Natural as Magnetic Gauge Theory
Francesco Sannino
We suggest that the Standard Model can be viewed as the magnetic dual of a gauge theory featuring only fermionic matter content. We show this by first introducing a Pati-Salam like…
Dual of QCD with One Adjoint Fermion
Matin Mojaza, Marco Nardecchia, Claudio Pica +1
We construct the magnetic dual of QCD with one adjoint Weyl fermion. The dual is a consistent solution of the 't Hooft anomaly matching conditions, allows for flavor decoupling and…
