New third-family flavor physics and the top mass

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A new massive gauge boson (X) coupling to the third family produces a tantalizing pattern of deviations away from the standard model. These include increasing Gamma_b/Gamma_h and decreasing the alpha_s(M_Z) extracted from Gamma_h/Gamma_ell. We indicate how the X boson may be related to a dynamical origin of the top mass.
