R. Sekhar Chivukula, Neil D. Christensen, Baradhwaj Coleppa, and, Elizabeth H. Simmons
TL;DR
This paper presents a deconstructed Higgsless model where electroweak symmetry breaking occurs without a Higgs boson, and the top quark mass is generated via a topcolor mechanism, predicting potentially observable heavy partners at LHC.
Contribution
It introduces a novel Higgsless model combining electroweak symmetry breaking with topcolor, and explores its phenomenology at the LHC.
Findings
Heavy gauge boson partners can be light enough for LHC detection.
Top quark mass is generated through a small vacuum expectation value of an effective top-Higgs.
Model predicts new particles accessible at current collider energies.
Abstract
We describe a deconstructed Higgsless model in which electroweak symmetry breaking results largely from a Higgsless mechanism while the top quark mass is generated by a topcolor mechanism. The top quark mass arises from a Yukawa coupling to an effective top-Higgs which develops a small vacuum expectation value. Both the heavy partners of the electoweak gauge bosons and those for the SM fermions can be light enough to be visible at LHC.
