Effective theories of electroweak symmetry breaking

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-20 v2

Abstract

We present a brief review of recent attempts to construct effective theories to describe the breaking of the electroweak symmetry in extensions of the Standard Model with new strongly interacting dynamics around the TeV scale. Particular attention is devoted to the analogies of Higgsless models with Chiral Perturbation Theory (the low-energy limit of QCD).
