Models for the Fermi Scale
(from the top perspective)
• 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

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.

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 .

this paper, this symmetry needs to be extended to SU(5)! SU(2)3 ! U(1)3, with [SU(2) !U(1)]3 gauged, in order to incorporate T-parity in the (chiral) fermion sector. So, the 5Dsetup we start with is an SU(5)!SU(2)3 !U(1)3 bulk gauge group. The action of T-parityon the gauge bosons is again given by eq. (2.10). We assume that the gauge symmetry isbroken by boundary conditions (BC’s) for the gauge fields, as in [29]: on the UV brane,
SU(5) ! SU(2) ! U(1) # [SU(2) ! U(1)]3 (UV) , (5.12)
while on the IR brane
SU(5) ! SU(2) ! U(1) # SO(5) ! SU(2) ! U(1) (IR). (5.13)
In the language of the 4D model, this is equivalent to placing the !1,2 fields on the UV braneand the S field on the IR brane, and integrating out the radial models of these fields afterthey get vevs. (Note that this geometric separation of ! and S automatically guaranteesthe absence of the direct potential couplings between them, as needed in our model.) TheseBC’s result in an unbroken [SU(2) ! U(1)]2 gauge group at low energies and leave T-parityunbroken. The gauge fields in [SU(2)!U(1)]3 which are only broken by BC’s on the IR branewill get a mass of order f " 1 TeV. These fields correspond to the T-odd gauge bosons of theLHT model. As discussed above, the full Kaluza-Klein (KK) tower starts at the somewhathigher scale mKK " 10 TeV.
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

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.
