Fermions Destabilize Electroweak Strings
Stephen G. Naculich
Z-strings in the Weinberg-Salam model including fermions are unstable for all values of the parameters. The cause of this instability is the fermion vacuum energy in the Z-string b…
Third Generation Effects on Fermion Mass Predictions in Supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories
Stephen G. Naculich
Relations among fermion masses and mixing angles at the scale of grand unification are modified at lower energies by renormalization group running induced by gauge and Yukawa coupl…
Can the Electroweak Symmetry-breaking Sector Be Hidden?
S. G. Naculich, C. -P. Yuan
In a recent paper, Chivukula and Golden claimed that the electroweak symmetry--breaking sector could be hidden if there were many inelastic channels in the longitudinal scatte…
Inelastic Channels in the Electroweak Symmetry-Breaking Sector
S. G. Naculich, C. -P. Yuan
It has been argued that if light Higgs bosons do not exist then the self--interactions of 's become strong in the TeV region and can be observed in longitudinal scattering.…
