Origin of the VEVs hierarchy
Gauhar Abbas
Abstract
We present an origin of the vacuum expectation values hierarchy in a nonminimal technicolor (TC) framework which is capable of explaining the flavor spectrum of the Standard Model (SM) along with neutrino masses and mixing, and simultaneously satisfying crucial experimental bounds. The TC scale in this framework can be lower such that a SM-like Higgs boson emerges from within the model. We also derive lower bound on the mass of the vector TC state using the latest experimental bound on the S-parameter.
