• Models for the Fermi scale, should be motivated by experimental evidences

• Nevertheless, at 2009, after years of collecting direct or indirect data at the EW scale, either at LEP, Tevatron or B-factories, we do not have a single serious experimental hint for models at the electroweak scale beyond the SM (BSM)

• What can guide us?

Overwhelming cosmo/astro indirect hints for BSM

Not a good guide towards EW models

• Baryon-Antibaryon Asymmetry,• Dark Matter Problem,• Neutrino Masses,• Inflation,• Accelerating Universe, ...

whose explanations could be tied to the electroweak scale, but this is not necessary

A suggestive “experimental evidence”

Existence of the Top quark

(since its heaviness seems to indicate that it plays an important role for EWSB)

Who ordered it?The EWSB agents

for new TeV-physics:

• It’s not a simple spectator of EWSB (as other fermions of the SM)

• It’s a main player → Responsible for EWSB

In this talk, I will single out the top quark and assume

notice that this demands a solution to the hierarchy problem i.e. Higgs mass must be determined by IR-physics

a possible deviation from NDA in the coupling of the composite fermions to the Higgs (a chirality

flip factor). 7 From eq. (44) we see that the (liberal) bound !gLb/gLb ! 1% from LEP is satisfied

for values of cq close to 1/2. For example, $ $ 0.4 implies cq $ 0.4. From eq. (45), on the other

hand, we see that the 99% CL bound on the T parameter, T ! 0.3 [9] 8, can also be satisfied for

reasonable values of the parameters. For example, setting ' " 1, then $ $ 0.4 implies cu $ #0.1 for

N $ 10. Thus, both estimates give !gLb and T close to the experimental limit for values of the 5D

parameters used in the analysis of section 3.2. This is an indication that our model can succeed in

passing all EWPT, although eqs. (44), (45) should not be taken too seriously, being only estimates

Nice idea, but, how to put it in practice?

Not easy, since, as we from QCD, difficult to get predictions within strong interacting theories

One approach: Although the dynamics of the strong sector can be unknown, the low-energy effective lagrangian for a PGB

Higgs can be determined by symmetries (as chiral lagrangian for pions physics)

→ Physics of a PGB-Higgs can be studied see Gripaios’s talk

Another approach: AdS/CFT correspondence

where in the last equality Eq. (15) has been used. Eq. (17) shows that in composite Higgs

models with a light Higgs and no tuning (! " 1) colored resonances are expected to be not

heavier than " 1 TeV. In our model, the relation between the Higgs mass and the mass of

the lowest fermionic KK turns out to be more complicated than that of Eq. (17). We find

that the points of Fig. 2 are better reproduced by a relation of the form

"2 = a1 m2q! + a2 mq!M + a3 M2 , (18)

where ai are numerical coe#cients, M # m! parametrizes the mass of the heavier resonances

and by mq! we denote the mass of the KK weak doublet with hypercharge Y = 7/6 (the

lightest among the fermionic KKs in Fig. 2). This means that in our model the integral% !

0 dp p [F (p)/F (0)] is not completely cut o! at p " mq! , and that other (heavier) reso-

nances also play a role. A fit to the points of Fig. 2 gives: ai=1,2,3 = ($0.10, 0.35, 0.007) for

the MCHM5 (upper plot) and ai = ($0.14, 0.24, 0.06) for the MCHM10 (lower plot). The

dispersion of the points around the fitted curve (shown in each plot) can be explained as

follows. In Fig. 2 we have fixed N = 8, ! = 0.5 and mpolet = 173 GeV, which leaves two

of the five parameters of Eq. (9) free to vary. If cu is traded for mq! , we are left with one

free parameter, for example, cq. The coe#cients ai of Eq. (18) will thus depend on cq, and

since we have scanned over the values 0.2 < cq < 0.38 (upper plot) and 0.36 < cq < 0.45

(lower plot) to generate the points in Fig. 2, this explains their dispersion. In other words,

the fitted ai given above should be considered as average values.

5 Production and detection of the lightest fermionic

resonances at the LHC

The most promising way to unravel these models is by detecting the lowest fermionic KKs at

the LHC. In particular, detecting the custodian with electric charge 5/3, that we will denote

The first term is the formula for the Higgs mass one obtains in the SM by defining !2/2 #%dp p in the top

loop. The degree of cancellation between the first and second term gives a measure of the degree of “tuning”needed in our model. This exactly corresponds to #2.

II. COLLECTIVE QUARTICS

How does one construct a Higgs quartic that doesnot radiatively generate a quadratically-divergent Higgsmass? In little Higgs theories, one finds a set of opera-tors that each preserve di!erent shift symmetries actingon the Higgs doublet, but collectively break all the sym-metries that protect the Higgs potential [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].Since the quadratically-divergent diagrams only involveone operator at a time, the shift symmetries are su"cientto protect the Higgs mass parameter.

Concretely, in a non-linear sigma model where theHiggs is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (PNGB), onenaıvely expects the shift symmetry

This is the form of all little Higgs quartics. A small Higgsmass term is generated radiatively from eq. (6), and theresulting potential allows for a parametric separation be-tween the electroweak vev v and the decay constant f .

At this point, we have not specified the quantum num-bers of the scalar ", which is equivalent to specifying thequantum numbers of h2. The possible SU(2)L represen-tations for h2 are determined by

2 & 2 = 3S & 1A, 2& 2 = 3& 1, (8)

where the S/A subscript refers to the representation be-ing symmetric/antisymmetric under the interchange ofthe two doublets. This classification holds regardless ofthe number of Higgs fields.

In a one-Higgs doublet model, the 1A representationvanishes, and " can be a complex triplet, a real triplet,or a real singlet:

A complex " triplet is used in the SU(5)/SO(5)littlest Higgs [3], and a real " triplet is present in theSO(9)/(SO(5)'SO(4)) construction [9] (though this lat-ter model has a pathology that will be understood in thenext section).

Note the sign di!erence between the two terms, whichmeans that the Higgs mass term cannot be forbidden byT -parity [3, 14, 15] with #1 = #2, and a parity that en-forces #1 = $#2 would imply no Higgs quartic couplingin the first place. Therefore, there is no viable one-Higgsdoublet little Higgs model where a collective quartic in-volves a real singlet %. In particular, this explains whyit is impossible to add a collective quartic coupling tothe simplest little Higgs [6] without extending the Higgssector [16].

The reason for this pathology is that the shift sym-metry alone does not forbid a tadpole for %. If % hadnon-trivial quantum numbers (such as being an SU(2)L

In addition, " can even be a real singlet as long as ithas an extra Z2 symmetry:

In this case, the symmetry

h†$ah ! "a (3), (10)

h†h ! % (1), (11)

where $a are the Pauli matrices, and we use the notation% to refer to a real singlet that carries no other charges.If " is a real or complex SU(2)L triplet, then eq. (6) givesrise to a tree-level quartic coupling yet protects the Higgsmass. A complex " triplet is used in the SU(5)/SO(5)littlest Higgs [3], and a real " triplet is present in theSO(9)/(SO(5)'SO(4)) construction [9] (though this lat-ter model has a pathology that will be understood in thenext section).

However, if " is a real singlet %, then explicit com-putation shows that eq. (6) generates a quadratically-divergent % tadpole and Higgs mass at one-loop!

Note the sign di!erence between the two terms, whichmeans that the Higgs mass term cannot be forbidden byT -parity [3, 14, 15] with #1 = #2, and a parity that en-forces #1 = $#2 would imply no Higgs quartic couplingin the first place. Therefore, there is no viable one-Higgsdoublet little Higgs model where a collective quartic in-volves a real singlet %. In particular, this explains whyit is impossible to add a collective quartic coupling tothe simplest little Higgs [6] without extending the Higgssector [16].

The reason for this pathology is that the shift sym-metry alone does not forbid a tadpole for %. If % hadnon-trivial quantum numbers (such as being an SU(2)L

triplet), then these extra symmetries would forbid the %tadpole. Famously, the singlet h†h cannot be chargedunder any symmetry (except a shift symmetry), and thesame holds for the singlet %. To illustrate this pathologyfurther, we construct an explicit singlet % model which re-alizes the full non-linear shift symmetries in appendix A.

In a two-Higgs doublet model, one can have quarticsconstructed not only with SU(2)L triplets but also withsinglets. Choosing conventions where h1 and h2 have thesame hypercharge, " can a priori be a complex singletwith or without hypercharge:

hi1h

j2!ij ! " (1A), (13)

h†1h2 ! " (1). (14)

Note however that the quartic constructed from the hy-percharge carrying singlet |hi

1hj2!ij |2 is unsatisfactory be-

cause it vanishes when the h1 and h2 vevs are aligned topreserve electric charge. A hypercharge neutral complex" is used in the SU(6)/Sp(6) antisymmetric condensatemodel [8].

In addition, " can even be a real singlet as long as ithas an extra Z2 symmetry:

Re[h†1h2] ! " (1). (15)

In this case, the symmetry

" ! $", h1 ! $h1, h2 ! h2 (16)

is su"cient to forbid the " tadpole.

it needs an extra triplet or singlet such as transform under the PGB symmetry:

This allow

that after integrating them out:

But triplet gets a VEV → T-parameter

singlet allows for tadpoles → Higgs mass at one-looprecently emphasized by Schmaltz,Thaler

Thus, the full gauge group of our model, at high energies,is

(2.6)

where we labeled the extra SU(2)"U(1) factor with a subscript “3” to distinguish it from the

[SU(2)" U(1)]2 subgroup of the SU(5) that survives below 10 TeV. To break the [SU(2) "

U(1)]3 subgroup to the SM electro

weak gauge group, we also need additional bifundamental

scalarsunder SU(5) " SU(2)3, K1 and K2, which will acquire the appropriate vevs (see

eq. (2.9)).

To reproduce the symmetries of the LHT model at low energies,we introduce a set of

scalarfields, summarized

in Table 1. At the 10 TeV scale, the ! fields get vevs of the form

formV = V (!1, !2) + V (S, K1, K2) ,

(2.8)

so that there are no direct couplings between !’s and other scalars, the model will possess

an SU(5) global symmetry below 10 TeV, broken only by gauge interactions. This is the

idea that was first emplyed in the context of SU(6) GUT models in [22], and also in the

”simplest little Higgs” model in [23]. With this assumption, the full gauge/global symmetry

structure of the LHT is reproduced. Of course, this construction is only natural, if there is

a symmetry reasonfor the absence of direct potential couplings between !’s and the other

scalars. In section

5, we will show that the !-vevs can be stabilized at the 10 TeV scale,

either by supersymmetrizing the model or by embedding it into a five-dimensional model

with warped geometry. In both cases, the couplings between ! and the other scalarscan be

naturally suppressed.

To reduce the group further (down to just the SM) we will assume that the scalars K1,K2 live on the IR brane, getting vevs of order mKK " 10 TeV. Furthermore, to incorporatefermion masses in an SU(5) invariant way, we also add the scalars A1, A2 on the IR brane,with

Thus, the full gauge group of our model, at high energies,is

SU(5) " SU(2)3 " U(1)3,

(2.6)

where we labeled the extra SU(2)"U(1) factor with a subscript “3” to distinguish it from the

[SU(2)" U(1)]2 subgroup of the SU(5) that survives below 10 TeV. To break the [SU(2) "

U(1)]3 subgroup to the SM electro

weak gauge group, we also need additional bifundamental

scalarsunder SU(5) " SU(2)3, K1 and K2, which will acquire the appropriate vevs (see

eq. (2.9)).

To reproduce the symmetries of the LHT model at low energies,we introduce a set of

scalarfields, summarized

in Table 1. At the 10 TeV scale, the ! fields get vevs of the form

where f! % 10 TeV. These vevs break the SU(5) down to [SU(2)"U(1)]2 , the gauge group

of the LHT model, and leave the SU(2)3 " U(1)3 unbroken. If the scalarpotential has the

formV = V (!1, !2) + V (S, K1, K2) ,

(2.8)

so that there are no direct couplings between !’s and other scalars, the model will possess

an SU(5) global symmetry below 10 TeV, broken only by gauge interactions. This is the

idea that was first emplyed in the context of SU(6) GUT models in [22], and also in the

”simplest little Higgs” model in [23]. With this assumption, the full gauge/global symmetry

structure of the LHT is reproduced. Of course, this construction is only natural, if there is

a symmetry reasonfor the absence of direct potential couplings between !’s and the other

scalars. In section

5, we will show that the !-vevs can be stabilized at the 10 TeV scale,

either by supersymmetrizing the model or by embedding it into a five-dimensional model

with warped geometry. In both cases, the couplings between ! and the other scalarscan be

naturally suppressed.
