Top Mass and Isospin Breaking in Dynamical Symmetry Breaking Scenario

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

We consider a scenario where the top-quark mass is generated dynamically, and study the implication of the present experimental values for mtm_t and the TT parameter. We assume technicolor-like scenario for inducing the WW mass and an effective four fermi operator for inducing the top-quark mass. We also assume that only this four fermi operator is relevant at low energy. Then we estimate in detail the strength GG and the intrinsic mass scale MM of the four fermi operator. Unitarity bound is used to quantify the strength of GG. We find that G/4πO(1)G/4\pi \sim {\cal O}(1) and that MM is of the order of ΛTC12\Lambda_{TC} \simeq 1 \sim 2~TeV or less. Namely the four fermi operator cannot be treated as `point-like' around the electroweak scale. Furthermore we estimate the contribution of the four fermi operator to the TT parameter. We find that the QCD correction to the top-quark mass function reduces the contribution to the TT parameter by about 40\%. By comparing the results with the present experimental bound, we obtain another upper bound on MM which is typically in several to 10~TeV region.
