Abstract

Existence of color sextet diquark Higgs fields with TeV masses will indicate a fundamentally different direction for unification than conventional grand unified theories. There is a class of partial unification models based on the gauge group SU(2)L×SU(2)R×SU(4)cSU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times SU(4)_c that implement the seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass with seesaw scale around 101110^{11} GeV, where indeed such light fields appear naturally despite the high gauge symmetry breaking scale. They couple only to up-type quarks in this model. We discuss phenomenological constraints on these fields and show that they could be detected at LHC via their decay to either tttt or single top + jet. We also find that existing Tevatron data gives a lower bound on its mass somewhere in the 400-500 GeV, for reasonable values of its coupling.
