Four-fermion operators may have large anomalous scaling and become relevant operators in some strongly interacting gauge theories. We present a detailed model which illustrates some of the implications of such operators for the generation…
The new quarks of a fourth family are being pushed into the strongly interacting regime due to the lower limits on their masses. The theoretical basis and experimental implications of such quarks are compared with exotic quarks.
There is current interest in a possible new massive gauge boson $X$ which mixes slightly with the $Z$ boson and accounts for certain anomalies in the LEP data. We show why constraints on models in which the $X$ boson does not couple to the…
In the third fermion family and gauge symmetry of the Standard Model, we study the quark-quark, lepton-lepton and quark-lepton four-fermion operators in an effective theory at high energies. These operators have nontrivial contributions to…
We examine the possibility that a new strong interaction is accessible to the Tevatron and the LHC. In an effective theory approach, we consider a scenario with a new color-octet interaction with strong couplings to the top quark, as well…
We list all possible dim=6 CP conserving and SU(3)* SU(2)*U(1) gauge invariant interactions, which could be generated in case no new particles would be reachable in the future Colliders, and the only observable New Physics would be in the…
We examine loop-mediated effects of new heavy quarks Q=(t',b') on t tbar production at hadron colliders, using a phenomenological model with flavor off-diagonal couplings of charged and neutral scalars phi=(phi^+-,phi^0) to Q. We show that…
Anomalous couplings of the $Z$ boson to top quarks are only marginally constrained by direct searches and are still sensitive to new particle dynamics at the TeV scale. Employing an effective field theory approach we consider the…
A heavy fourth family is an example of new physics which is well defined and familiar in some respects, but which nevertheless has radical implications. In particular it eliminates a light Higgs description of electroweak symmetry breaking.…
The phenomenology of an additional U(1) neutral gauge boson Z' coupled to the third family of fermions is discussed. One might expect such a particle to contribute to processes where taus, b and t quarks are produced. Precision data from…
The scalar interaction term of the top mode standard model can be generated by a gauge theory. It is emphasized that in this approach generalization to family space directly yields a heavy top quark while leaving all other quarks massless.…
We list all possible dimension-six CP-conserving $SU_c(3)\times SU_L(2) \times U_Y(1)$ invariant operators involving the third-family quarks which could be generated by new physics at a higher scale. Expressions for these operators after…
The properties of new heavy mesons containing new heavy quarks have been investigated. As an example, the fourth SM family quarks and weak isosinglet quarks predicted by E_{6} GUT are considered. Production of these hadrons at TeV energy…
In the present paper we explore various dynamical scenarios for New Physics (NP) which could be generated by very heavy particles and observed in the form of non-standard "low energy" interactions affecting the scalar sector, the gauge…
We establish the most general parametrization of the new physics tested by present precision measurements and possibly responsible for any deviation of the $Z\to b \bar b $ amplitude from its Standard Model result, under the assumption that…
We assume that strong and electroweak interactions become strong at very high energies. With this assumption, we compute the low-energy gauge coupling constants $\alpha_i (m_Z)$ as a function of the cutoff scale, taking the supersymmetric…
We emphasize the role that anomalous power-law scaling of 4-fermion operators, occurring in the presence of new strong interactions, could have in the generation of quark and lepton masses.
The charge asymmetry in top quark production at hadron colliders is sensitive to beyond-the-Standard-Model four-fermion interactions. In this study we compare the sensitivity of cross-section and charge asymmetry measurements to effective…
We discuss the sensitivity of the processes $e^+e^-\to t\bar t$ and $e^+e^-\to b\bar b$ to special sets of operators describing residual New Physics effects. Experimental data in this sector together with those expected in the bosonic…
