If the top quark feels a new strong interaction, a top-quark condensate can provide some or even all of electroweak symmetry breaking v2 = f 2 + f 2 sin ! f /v TC t ⌘ t some (topcolor*, topcolor-assisted technicolor*) in these models the top quark feels an additional gauge interaction that causes top condensation

all (top mode^, top seesaw^^) in top seesaw models, a heavy partner quark T forms the condensate; the top quark mass eigenstate that we observe is a seesaw mixture between T and the standard model’s top quark gauge eigenstate

Sample strategy to find states in the top sector and confirm their connection to EWSB:

1. With initial LHC data, find Ht in Ht → WW, ZZ; higher-than-SM production rate will indicate that it is exotic 2. As integrated luminosity grows, find top quark’s KK partner T via its dominant decay to T → Wb

3. Confirm the T → Ht t decay; this shows Ht is strongly coupled to the top sector as well as the EW sector

4. Discover Πt in pp → t Πt± ; this establishes the top-pion’s strong link to the top sector

5. Confirm Πt in pp → Ht Πt±; this links the top-pion to the EW sector as well LHC vs. Top-Higgs

10 Updated Ht Limits TC2 Dynamics

The limits above were derived in an effective field theory (top triangle moose) for TC2 and related models: • A combination of topcolor dynamics and ETC give rise to the top quark mass: m m dyn + m ETC where t ⇡ t t the latter is only 0.5% - 10% of the total. N 2 f 2 = c m2 ln • The Pagels-Stokar relation t 2 t,dyn 2 8 mt,dyn ! relates sin f /v to the top mass ⌘ ⇧t 2 2 Nc The top-pion mass M = m t,ET C m t,dyn • t 4⇥2 f 2 should exceed the top mass ✓ t ◆ to respect bounds on t bH+ ! < • The dynamics imply MHt 2mt,dyn ⇠ LHC vs. TC2

Within the larger effective theory, one would then expect the TC2 model parameters to lie in the following ranges:

185 GeV

172 GeV

The data from FNAL, LHC, and b s appears to exclude! precisely this region. New DEWSB Model Directions

What kinds of models can evade the LHC constraints on neutral states in TC2 Models (colorons, technipions, top-Higgs)?

• Technicolor with substantial ETC contribution to mt ? g g Q t P P Q +/- t "t mt Q t g g FP

• Top-Seesaw Assisted Technicolor? • Stay Tuned! Conclusions Conclusions and Next Steps

• Avoiding large weak isospin violation is a challenge for dynamical EWSB. Models with new top-quark dynamics (topcolor, top seesaw) offer solutions; the top triangle moose is an effective theory interpolating among them • LHC can search for colorons, incorporating recent one- loop results for the K-factor and pT distribution.

•New states in the top sector includes T, H t and Πt states; all should be visible at LHC. Interplay among these states would signal that top dynamics plays a role in EWSB. • Recent LHC data on H WW,ZZ , combined with data on b s exclude! the most favored TC2 parameter !space. New models with heavier Ht (e.g. top- seesaw-assisted TC) are required.
