We analyze the flavor structure of composite vector bosons arising in a model of vectorlike technicolor, often called hypercolor (HC), with eight flavors that form a one-family content of HC fermions. Dynamics of the composite vector bosons, referred to as HC rho in this paper, are formulated together with HC pions by the hidden local symmetry (HLS), in a way analogous to QCD vector mesons. Then coupling properties to the standard model (SM) fermions, which respect the HLS gauge symmetry, are described in a way that couplings of the HC rhos to the left-handed SM quarks and leptons are given by a well-defined setup as taking the flavor mixing structures into account. Under the present scenario, we discuss significant bounds on the model from electroweak precision tests, flavor physics, and collider physics. We also try to address B anomalies in processes such as B -> K(*) mu+ mu- and B -> D(*) tau nu, recently reported by LHCb, Belle, (ATLAS, and CMS in part.) Then we find that the present model can account for the anomaly in B -> K(*) mu+ mu- consistently with the other constraints while it predicts no significant deviations in B -> D(*) tau nu from the SM, which can be examined in the future Belle II experiment. The former is archived with the form C9 = -C10 of the Wilson coefficients for effective operators of b -> s mu+ mu-, which has been favored by the recent experimental data. We also investigate current and future experimental limits at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and see that possible collider signals come from dijet and ditau, or dimuon resonant searches for the present scenario with TeV mass range. To conclude, the present b -> s mu+ mu- anomaly is likely to imply discovery of new vector bosons in the ditau or dimuon channel in the context of the HC rho model. Our model can be considered as a UV completion of conventional U(1) model.
We present a model which connects the neutral current B anomalies with composite Higgs models. The model is based on the minimal fundamental composite Higgs model with $SU(4)/Sp(4)$ coset. The strong dynamics spontaneously break the symmetry and introduce five Nambu-Goldstone bosons. Four of them become the Standard Model Higgs doublet and the last one, corresponding to the broken local $U(1)$ symmetry, is eaten by the gauge boson. This leads to an additional TeV-scale $Z$ boson, which can explain the recent B anomalies. The experimental constraints and allowed parameter space are discussed in detail.
We sketch a novel method to search for light di-leptonic resonances by exploiting precision measurements of Drell-Yan production. Motivated by the recent hints of lepton flavour universality violation in $B to K^{ast} ell^+ ell^-$, we illustrate our proposal by studying the case of spin-1 resonances that couple to muons and have masses in the range of a few GeV. We show that the existing LHC data on $pp to Z/gamma^ast to mu^+ mu^-$ put non-trivial constraints on light di-muon resonance interpretations of $B$ decay anomalies in a model-independent fashion. The impact of our proposal on the long-standing discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is also briefly discussed.
Considering the recent experimental results on exclusive semileptonic $B$ meson decays showing sizable departure from their Standard Model prediction of lepton flavor universality and keeping ongoing and proposed non-standard Higgs searches in mind, we explore the charged current flavor observables ($mathcal{R}_{D^{(*)}}$, $mathcal{R}_{J/psi}$), among other $bto cell u$ transitions, in the presence of a relevant scalar current effective new physics operator. We use $B_c$ lifetime and predicted bounds on the branching fraction of $B_c to tau u$ decay as constraints. We show the allowed parameter space in terms of the real and imaginary parts of the corresponding Wilson coefficients for such interactions. Under the light of obtained results, we study the prospect of two benchmark models, rendering the Wilson coefficients real (Georgi-Machacek (GM)) and complex (Leptoquark (LQ)) respectively. We show that constraints from $bto cell u$ on GM parameters are consistent with other flavor constraints on the model, if we drop the Babar~results. Including those disfavors the model by more than $3sigma$. On the other hand, one benchmark LQ scenario, which gives rise to a single scalar current effective interaction, is still allowed within $68%$ confidence level, albeit with a shrunk parameter space.
In a composite model of the weak bosons the p-wave bosons are studied. The state with the lowest mass is identified with the boson, which has been observed at the LHC. Specific properties of the excited bosons are studied, in particular their decays into weak bosons and photons. Such decays might have been observed recently with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.
The weak bosons, leptons and quarks are considered as composite particles. The interaction of the constituents is a confining gauge interaction. The standard electroweak model is a low energy approximation. The mixing of the neutral weak boson with the photon is a dynamical mechanism, similar to the mixing between the photon and the rho-meson in QCD. This mixing provides information about the energy scale of the confining gauge force. It must be less than 1 TeV. At and above this energy many narrow resonances should exist, which decay into weak bosons and into lepton and quark pairs. Above 1 TeV excited leptons should exist, which decay into leptons under emission of a weak boson or a photon. These new states can be observed with the detectors at the Large Hadron Collider in CERN.
