  Article: Top Quarks and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking in Little Higgs Models

  Maxim Perelstein, Michael E. Peskin, Aaron Pierce
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: `Little Higgs' models, in which the Higgs particle arises as a pseudo-Goldstone boson, have a natural mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking associated with the large value of the top quark Yukawa coupling. The mechanism typically involves a new heavy SU(2)_{L} singlet top quark, T. We discuss the relationship of the Higgs boson and the two top quarks. We suggest experimental tests of the Little Higgs mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking using the production and decay of the T at the Large Hadron Collider. Comment: 28 pages, 6 figures; new ST fits (Fig. 3,4)

  Article: Large Hadron collider tests of the little Higgs model.

  Gustavo Burdman, Maxim Perelstein, Aaron Pierce
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: The little Higgs model provides an alternative to traditional candidates for new physics at the TeV scale. The new heavy gauge bosons predicted by this model should be observable at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We discuss how the LHC experiments could test the little Higgs model by studying the production and decay of these particles.

  Article: TeV Strings and Collider Probes of Large Extra Dimensions

  Schuyler Cullen, Maxim Perelstein, Michael E. Peskin
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali have proposed that the fundamental gravitational scale is close to 1 TeV, and that the observed weakness of gravity at long distances is explained by the presence of large extra compact dimensions. If this scenario is realized in a string theory of quantum gravity, the string excited states of Standard Model particles will also have TeV masses. These states will be visible to experiment and in fact provide the first signatures of the presence of a low quantum gravity scale. Their presence also affects the more familiar signatures due to real and virtual graviton emission. We study the effects of these states in a simple string model.

  Article: SN1987A Constraints on Large Compact Dimensions

  Schuyler Cullen, Maxim Perelstein
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Recently there has been a lot of interest in models in which gravity becomes strong at the TeV scale. The observed weakness of gravitational interactions is then explained by the existence of extra compact dimensions of space, which are accessible to gravity but not to Standard Model particles. In this letter we consider graviton emission into these extra dimensions from a hot supernova core. The phenomenology of SN1987A places strong constraints on this energy loss mechanism, allowing us to derive a bound on the fundamental Planck scale. For the case of two extra dimensions we obtain a very strong bound of M > 50 TeV, which corresponds to a radius R < 0.3 microns. While there are a lot of sources of uncertainty associated with this bound, we find that pushing it down to the few-TeV range, which could in principle be probed by ground-based experiments, is disfavored. For three or more extra dimensions the SN1987A constraints do not exclude a TeV gravitational scale. Comment: 9 pages, LaTex, 1 figure in eps format

  Article: Collider Signatures of New Large Space Dimensions

  Eugene A. Mirabelli, Maxim Perelstein, Michael E. Peskin
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Recently, Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali have proposed that there are extra compact dimensions of space, accessible to gravity but not to ordinary matter, which could be macroscopically large. In this letter, we argue that high-energy collider processes in which gravitons are radiated into these new dimensions place significant, model-independent constraints on this picture. We present the constraints from anomalous single photon production at e+e- colliders and from monojet production at hadron colliders. Comment: 10 pages, LaTex + 2 figures, correction of typos
