Top Quark Seesaw Theory of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
R. Sekhar Chivukula, Bogdan A. Dobrescu, Howard Georgi +1
We study electroweak symmetry breaking involving the seesaw mechanism of quark condensation. These models produce a composite Higgs boson involving the left-handed top quark, yet t…
Saturating the Bound on the Scale of Fermion Mass Generation
R. Sekhar Chivukula
Recently, Jaeger and Willenbrock have shown that the Appelquist and Chanowitz bound on the scale of top-quark mass generation can formally be saturated in a particular limit of a t…
Effective Field Theory of Vacuum Tilting
R. Sekhar Chivukula, Howard Georgi
Simple models of topcolor and topcolor-assisted technicolor rely on a relatively strong U(1) gauge interaction to ``tilt'' the vacuum. This tilting is necessary to produce a top-co…
Large-N and Vacuum Alignment in Topcolor Models
R. Sekhar Chivukula, Howard Georgi
Topcolor and topcolor-assisted technicolor provide examples of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking which include top-condensation, thereby naturally incorporating a heavy top q…
Models of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
R. Sekhar Chivukula
Discovering the dynamics responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking is the outstanding question facing particle physics today, and the answer will be found in the next decade. I…
