The Next Generation

TL;DR

This paper explores models where new strong interactions produce non-sequential generations of matter, analyzing their theoretical consistency, experimental constraints, collider signatures, and cosmological implications.

Contribution

It introduces concrete models of strong dynamics that generate non-sequential Standard Model-like matter generations through anomaly cancellation mechanisms.

Findings

Models satisfy anomaly cancellation conditions.

Predicted collider signatures for new matter generations.

Implications for cosmology and electroweak precision tests.

Abstract

We consider the possibility of non-sequential generation(s) of Standard Model -like matter as a consequence of cancellation of global and gauge anomalies due to a new strongly interacting sector responsible for the electroweak symmetry breaking. We consider concrete models for the strong dynamics and outline several scenarios for the next generation. For these we provide analysis of the precision constraints as well as a discussion on collider signatures and implications for cosmology.
