We study top production at Tevatron collider in the extended BESS model, which is an effective lagrangian parametrization of a dynamical symmetry breaking of the electroweak symmetry. The existence of a colored octet of gauge vector bosons…
Hidden-color configurations are a key prediction of QCD with important physical consequences. In this work we examine a QCD color-singlet configuration in nuclei formed by combining six scalar $[u d]$ diquarks in a strongly bound $\rm…

The modeling of color reconnection has become one of the dominant sources of systematic uncertainty in the top mass determination at hadron colliders. The uncertainty on the top mass due to color reconnection is conventionally estimated by…
We study the minimal model of conformal technicolor, an SU(2) gauge theory near a strongly coupled conformal fixed point, with conformal symmetry softly broken by technifermion mass terms. Conformal symmetry breaking triggers chiral…
Many extensions to the Standard Model predict gauge interactions with enhanced couplings to third generation quarks, especially the extremely heavy top quark\cite{theoretical}. These phenomena can lead to resonances in the production of…
We consider extra dimensional descriptions of models where there are two separate strongly interacting sectors contributing to electroweak symmetry breaking (``topcolor'' type models). In the extra dimensional picture there would be two…
We construct and analyze an ultraviolet extension of a model in which electroweak symmetry breaking is due to both technifermion and top-quark condensates. The model includes dynamical mechanisms for all of the various gauge symmetry…
We discuss the running couplings in the standard model, SU(3$)_C \times $SU(2$)_L \times $U(1$)_Y$, when the Higgs sector is replaced by SU($N_{TC})$ technicolor. Particular attention is given to the running of the couplings at momentum…
In the framework of topcolor-assisted-technicolor model(TC2), we study a flavor-changing neutral top-pion production process $\gamma\gamma\to t\bar{c}\Pi_{t}^{0}$. The study shows that there exists a resonance effect which can enhance the…
We embark on systematic explorations of the behaviour of tetraquark mesons (colour-singlet bound states of two quarks and two antiquarks) in the (idealized) limit of a large number $N_c$ of colour degrees of freedom of quantum…
Connate topological superconductor (TSC) combines topological surface states with nodeless superconductivity in a single material, achieving effective $p$-wave pairing without interface complication. By combining angle-resolved…
In the framework of top-color assisted technicolor(TC2) theory, we study the four decay processes of charged top-pion, i.e., $\Pi^{+}_{t}\to t\bar{b}$, $\Pi^{+}_{t}\to c\bar{b}$, $\Pi^{+}_{t}\to W^{+}\gamma$, $\Pi^{+}_{t}\to W^{+}Z^{0}$,…
The physics potential for boosted topologies in top-quark pair production is studied at centre-of-mass energies of 1.4 TeV and 3 TeV at the proposed high-luminosity linear electron-positron Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). The analyses…
We study and constrain the parameter space of the vector color-octet model from observed data at Tevatron by studying top quark pair production and associated observables afbt and spin-correlation. In particular we study invariant mass and…
We introduce a deconstructed model that incorporates both Higgsless and top-color mechanisms. The model alleviates the typical tension in Higgsless models between obtaining the correct top quark mass and keeping delta-rho small. It does so…
We review the connection between m_t and the $Zb\bar b$ vertex in ETC models and discuss how data on R_b constrains ETC models. Theories in which the ETC and weak gauge groups do not commute are consistent with electroweak data and predict…
Experiment shows that the top quark is far heavier than the other elementary fermions. This finding has stimulated research on theories of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking that include physics beyond the standard model. Efforts to…
The attractive Hubbard model has become a model readily realizable with ultracold atoms on optical lattices. However, the superconducting (superfluid) critical temperatures, $T_c$'s, are still somewhat smaller than the lowest temperatures…
We study finite density QCD in an approximation in which the interaction between quarks is modelled on that induced by instantons. We sketch the mechanism by which chiral symmetry restoration at finite density occurs in this model. At all…
