Anomalies in Fermionic UV Completions of Little Higgs Models
Mar, 2008Citations per year
Abstract: (arXiv)
We consider fermionic UV completions of little Higgs models and their associated T-parity-violating anomalous vertices. We show that the vacuum state of these models is unlikely to achieve the alignment necessary to realize anomaly-free coset theories. However, we will see that multi-link moose models posses an additional parity resulting in a novel phenomenology with long lived T-odd particles. Finally, we briefly discuss a method for identifying anomalous decays in colliders.- little Higgs model
- T-parity: violation
- ultraviolet
- vacuum state: alignment
- Wess-Zumino term
- coset space: SO(N) x SO(N)
- meson: decay modes
- meson: lifetime
