Electroweak Symmetry Breaking via Top Condensation Seesaw

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v3

Abstract

We propose a new mechanism in which all of the electroweak symmetry breaking is driven by a natural top quark condensate, produced by topcolor interactions at a multi-TeV scale. The scheme allows the observed top quark mass, and acceptable T and S parameters, by invoking a seesaw mechanism involving mixing of the top with an additional isosinglet quark.
