Light techni-fermions and pseudo Goldstone bosons that contribute to the electroweak radiative correction parameters V,W and X may relax the constraints on technicolour models from the experimental values of the parameters S and T. Order of…
These two lectures on technicolor and extended technicolor (ETC) were presented at l'Ecole de GIF at LAPP, Annecy-le-Vieux, France, in September 2001. In Lecture I, the motivation and structure of this theory of dynamical breaking of…
Using precision electroweak data, we put limits on ``natural'' top-color assisted technicolor models. Generically the new $U(1)$ gauge bosons in these models must have masses larger than roughly 2 TeV, although in certain (seemingly…
Ordinary technicolor and extended technicolor cannot produce the heavy top quark unaided. We demonstrate that a flavor-universal extension of the color interactions combined with an extended hypercharge sector that singles out the third…
A topcolor model is presented that contains both composite and fundamental scalar fields. Strong dynamics accounts for most of the top quark mass and part of the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. The fundamental scalar is weakly coupled…
Four fermion interactions appear in many models of Beyond Standard Model physics. In Technicolour and composite Higgs models Standard Model fermion masses can be generated by four fermion terms. They are also expected to modify the dynamics…
The critical temperature of high-$T_c$ superconductors is determined, at least in part, by the electron-phonon coupling. We include the effect of an exchange interaction between the electrons and calculate the renormalization of the bare…
Extension of the Standard Model with Chern-Simons type interaction contains a new vector massive boson (Chern-Simons boson) that couples to electroweak gauge bosons by the so-called effective Chern-Simons interaction. There is no direct…
In scenarios that stabilize the electroweak scale, the top quark is typically accompanied by partner particles. In this work, we demonstrate how extended stabilizing symmetries can yield scalar or fermionic top partners that transform as…
We study the equation of state of a strongly interacting theory of relativistic bosons and chiral fermions in the vicinity and above the chiral phase transition temperature. Our model resembles presently used low-energy models of QCD in…
We consider a gauge theory of vector fields in $3d$ Minkowski space. At the free level, the dynamical variables are subjected to the extended Chern-Simons (ECS) equations with higher derivatives. If the color index takes $n$ values, the…
Chiral Color is extended by incorporating Technicolor, which induces dynamical breaking of the Electroweak symmetry as well as Chiral Color to Quantum Chromodynamics. Gauge anomalies are cancelled by introducing two generations of…
Simulations of laser-induced electron dynamics in a molecular system are performed using time-dependent (TD) equation-of-motion (EOM) coupled-cluster (CC) theory. The target system has been chosen to highlight potential shortcomings of…
We present a model where the QCD axion is at the TeV scale and visible at a collider via its decays. Conformal dynamics and strong CP considerations account for the axion coupling strongly enough to the standard model to be produced as well…
A new dynamical symmetry breaking model of electroweak interactions is proposed based on interacting fermions. Two fermions of different SU_{L}(2) representations form a symmetry breaking condensate and generate the lepton and quark masses.…
The nontrivial boundary conditions for the Topcolor breaking are investigated in the context of the TeV-scale extra dimension scenario. We present a six dimensional model where the top and bottom quarks in the bulk have the Topcolor charge…
We verify that SU(N)_{{}_{TC}}\otimes SU(3)_{{}_{L}}\otimes U(1)_{{}_{X}} models, where the gauge symmetry breaking is totally dynamical and promoted by the non-Abelian technicolor (TC) group and the strong Abelian interactions, are quite…
Strategies are presented for discovering light, color-singlet technipions (pi_T) produced in association with a vector boson through s-channel technirho production, at the Tevatron and LHC. Signal and W+jets background were simulated…
The recently observed boson at 125 GeV could be a light composite scalar from near-conformal technicolor dynamics: a technicolor Higgs. If this is the case, unitarization of longitudinal weak boson scattering amplitudes, which is due to…
I propose a resolution of the strong CP problem of quarks based on vacuum alignment in theories of dynamically broken electroweak and flavor symmetries. Mixing in the neutral B and K--meson systems is used to restrict the form of quark mass…
