Chiral Technicolor and Precision Electroweak Measurements

Original · EN

I consider the possibility that electroweak symmetry is broken by a strongly interacting chiral gauge theory. I argue that some of the discrepancies between precision electroweak measurements and the predictions of QCD-like technicolor models can be resolved if technicolor is a chiral gauge theory. I present a toy technicolor model which demonstrates this idea, and gives mₜ ≫ mb, with a small value for Δρ* ≡ αT, and small corrections to Z → b b.
