    BUHEP–94–2 AN INTRODUCTION TO TECHNICOLOR† Kenneth Lane‡ Department of Physics, Boston University 590 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215 Abstract In these lectures we present the motivation for dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and its most popular realization, technicolor. We introduce the basic ideas of technicolor and its companion theory of flavor, extended technicolor. We review the classical theory of technicolor, based on naive scaling from quantum chromodynamics, and discuss the classical theory’s fatal flaws. Finally, we describe the principal attempt to correct these flaws, the theory of walking technicolor. arXiv:hep-ph/9401324v2 30 Jan 1994 † Lectures given June 30–July 2, 1993 at the Theoretical Advanced Studies Institute, University of Colorado, Boulder. ‡ [email protected] 1 1. WHY TECHNICOLOR? In the first part of these lectures we describe the motivations and virtues of technicolor and extended technicolor—dynamical theories of electroweak and flavor symmetry. We then give an overview of the “classical” theory of technicolor, using arguments based on scaling from QCD. We discuss the theoretical and phenomeno- logical problems of technicolor and extended technicolor and summarize the main attempts to overcome them. 1.1 The Importance of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking The theoretical elements of the standard SU(3) SU(2) U(1) gauge model of ⊗ ⊗ strong and electroweak interactions have been in place for more than 20 years.1,2,3 In all this time, the standard model has withstood extremely stringent experimental tests.4 Down to distances of at least 10−16 cm, the basic constituents of matter 1 are known to be spin– 2 quarks and leptons.

  • Technicolor Both Technically How Technicolor, Both Tell Is Then That Way I a M Bosons
    BUHEP–94–26 Technicolor∗ Kenneth Lane† Department of Physics, Boston University 590 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215 Abstract Technicolor, with extended technicolor, is the theory of dynamical electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking at energies far below the Planck scale. To motivate it, I describe the most important difficulties of the standard electroweak model of symmetry breaking by elementary scalar bosons. I then tell how technicolor deals with these difficulties in a way that is both technically and physically natural. Finally, I discuss the problems of technicolor, both past and present. arXiv:hep-ph/9501249v1 10 Jan 1995 10/94 ∗ Invited talk given at the International Conference on the History of Original Ideas and Basic Discoveries in Particle Physics, Erice, Sicily, 29 July–4 August 1994. † [email protected] 1. INTRODUCTION The talks presented so far at this conference have related the history of most of the great advances of the past half century in particle physics. I have listened in awe—and in envy—to the stories of the many really beautiful experiments that form the rock on which our field stands. After the sad demise of the SSC, hearing these stories has done a great deal to rekindle my devotion to particle physics. I have also listened with enormous delight to the stories, in some of which I even had the luck of playing a small part, recounting our field’s theoretical victories. All that we have heard so far is glorious history—the ghost of Christmas past. The theoretical talks you will hear next are about the future.

    The search for Low Scale Technicolor in the Z + γ channel using 7 TeV ATLAS Data DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Fisher, B.A. Graduate Program in Physics The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Harris Kagan, Advisor Richard Kass Junko Shigemitsu Tom Humanic c Copyright by Matthew Fisher 2012 Abstract A search for low scale technicolor (LSTC) particles, ρT and !T, decaying to a Z boson and a photon with the Z decaying to electrons or muons, is presented. The search was conducted using 4.7 fb−1 of 7 TeV data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Two different sets of LSTC parameters were considered, one was excluded at the 95% confidence level for ρT/!Tmasses from 200 GeV to 280 GeV and the other from 200 GeV to 480 GeV. An upper limit is measured for the cross section times branching fraction of any new narrow resonance decaying to the same final state for masses between 200 and 500 GeV. The Standard Model cross section times branching fraction was measured to be 1:26 ± 0:07(stat:) ± 0:07(syst:) pb when the Z boson decays to electrons and 1:24 ± 0:07(stat:)±0:11(syst:) pb when it decays to muons which is consistent with the theoretical prediciton of 1:22 ± 0:05(syst:) pb. ii For Hannah, my Motivator-in-Chief. iii Vita November 13, 1980 . .Born|Goshen, IN August 2003 .
