We point out that if the majoron-like scheme is implemented within a 331 model, there must exist at least three different mass scales for the scalar vacuum expectation values in the model.
We explore the scalar phenomenology of a model of electroweak scale neutrinos that incorporates the presence of a lepton number violating singlet scalar. An analysis of the pseudoscalar-Majoron field associated to this singlet field is…
We consider the contributions to the neutrinoless double beta decays in a $SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_N$ electroweak model. We show that for a range of the parameters in the model there are diagrams involving vector-vector-scalar and trilinear…
Fundamental mechanisms for Majoron emitting neutrinoless double beta decay in SU(3)_C x G_W x U(1) models, for electroweak flavor chiral extensions, G_W = SU(3)_L and SU(4)_L are pointed out. Both kinds of known Majoron emitting processes,…
The electroweak mixing angle is a fundamental parameter of the theory of electroweak interactions. Its value has been measured precisely at the $\mathrm{Z}$-pole at colliders. In this contribution, we propose to exploit measurements of…
We show that in 3-3-1 models there exist a natural relation among the $SU(3)_L$ coupling constant $g$, the electroweak mixing angle $\theta_W$, the mass of the $W$, and one of the vacuum expectation values, which implies that those models…
We investigate the possibilities of probing the electroweak scale seesaw scenarios such as type-I, type-II and type-III seesaw at $e^-\gamma$ and $\gamma\gamma$ colliders. For the case of type-I seesaw, the heavy neutrinos can be produced…
We examine models where massless chiral fermions with both "electric" and "magnetic" hypercharges could form condensates. When some of the fermions are also electroweak doublets such condensates can break the electroweak gauge symmetry down…
When the Higgs sector of the standard model is replaced by a flavor doublet of color sextet quarks, dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking occurs, with the electroweak scale identified as the sextet chiral scale. Above the electroweak…
Electroweak precision data have been extensively used to constrain models containing physics beyond that of the Standard Model. When the model contains Higgs scalars in representations other than singlets or doublets, and hence rho not…
Some versions of the electroweak SU(3)$_L\otimesU(1)_X$ models cannot be treated within perturbation theory at energies of few TeV. An extended version for these models is proposed which is perturbative even at TeV scale posing no…
The activities of the Electroweak Physics Working Group are summarized. Three main issues are addressed: 1) prospects for measuring the $W$ mass at the Tevatron using the inclusive electron energy spectrum, 2) constraining the strange quark…
We present a calculation of the electroweak mixing parameter $\sin^2 \theta_{eff}^{lept}$ that incorporates known higher order effects, shares the desirable convergence properties of the $\bar{MS}$ scheme, and has the important theoretical…
We consider a recent proposal by Dimopoulos and Kaplan to embed the electroweak SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y into a larger group SU(3)_W X SU(2) X U(1) at a scale above a TeV. This idea is motivated by the prediction for the weak mixing angle sin^2…
The breaking of the electroweak symmetry, and origin of the associated ``weak scale,'' may be due to a new strong interaction. Theoretical developments over the past decade have led to viable models and mechanisms that are consistent with…
We consider an extension of the Standard Model that was proposed recently by one of the current authors (PQH), which admits magnetic monopoles with a mass of order of a few TeV. We impose, in addition to topological quantization in the…
The scalar composite representations of the electroweak symmetry group of the Standard Model are exhibited in the case of two generations of quarks. The link between `strong' and `electroweak' eigenstates is investigated, showing that the…
We consider a gauge model based on $SU(3)\otimes U(1)$ symmetry in which the lepton number is violated explicitly by charged scalar and gauge bosons, including a vector field with double electric charge. Although there exist in the…
The present status of higher-order results in the electroweak theory is summarised, with particular emphasis on recent two-loop results for the prediction of the W-boson mass in the Standard Model and leading three-loop corrections to the…
If electroweak dynamical symmetry breaking is due to a chiral condensate of color sextet quarks, dynamics analagous to ``walking technicolor'' will enhance the condensate by orders of magnitude compared to the electroweak chiral scale. This…
