Hitoshi Murayama (UC Berkeley, LBNL)

TL;DR
This paper introduces a supersymmetric technicolor model that achieves dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking without a light Higgs, addressing hierarchy and flavor issues while providing calculable techni-state production.
Contribution
It proposes a novel supersymmetric technicolor framework that resolves longstanding problems and offers exact results for certain dynamical aspects of EWSB.
Findings
No light elementary Higgs boson in the model
Technicolor sector is safe from flavor-changing-neutral-current constraints
Techni-state production in superconformal window is calculable
Abstract
Technicolor achieves electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) in an elegant and natural way, while it suffers from severe model building difficulties. I propose to abandon its secondary goal to eliminate scalar bosons in exchange of solving numerous problems using supersymmetry. It helps to understand walking dynamics much better with certain exact results. In the particular model presented here, there is no light elementary Higgs boson and the EWSB is fully dynamical, hence explaining the hierarchy; There is no alignment problem and no light pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons exist; The fermion masses are generated by a ultraviolet-complete renormalizable extended technicolor sector with techni-GIM mechanism and hence the sector is safe from flavor-changing-neutral-current constraints; The "e+ e-'' production of techni-states in the superconformal window is calculable; The electroweak precision…
