Naive Dimensional Analysis and Irrelevant Operators
Matti Antola, Kimmo Tuominen
We derive a set of easy rules to follow when estimating the coefficients of operators in an effective Lagrangian. In particular, we emphasize how to estimate the size of coefficien…
Topcolor-like dynamics and new matter generations
Hidenori S. Fukano, Kimmo Tuominen
We explore a scenarios where topcolor-like dynamics operates in the presence of fourth generation matter fields. Using the Minimal Walking Technicolor as a concrete basis for model…
Degrees of freedom and the phase transitions of two flavor QCD
T. Kahara, K. Tuominen
We study two effective models for QCD, the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio -model and the linear sigma model extended by including a Polyakov loop potential, which is fitted to reproduce pure g…
The WIMP of a Minimal Technicolor Theory
Kimmo Kainulainen, Kimmo Tuominen, Jussi Virkajarvi
We consider the possibility that a massive fourth family neutrino, predicted by a recently proposed minimal technicolor theory, could be the source of the dark matter in the univer…
Light composite Higgs and precision electroweak measurements on the Z resonance: An update
Dennis D. Dietrich, Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
We update our analysis of technicolour theories with techniquarks in higher dimensional representations of the technicolour gauge group in the light of the new electroweak precisio…
Tetracritical behavior in strongly interacting theories
Francesco Sannino, Kimmo Tuominen
We suggest a tetracritical fixed point to naturally occur in strongly interacting theories. As a fundamental example we analyze the temperature--quark chemical potential phase diag…
