3. 1. Motivation i) The Standard Model(SM) providesanextremelysuccesfuldescription of theelectroweakand stronginteractions. ii) A keyfeatureisthe particular mechanismadoptedto break theelectroweak gauge symmetrytotheelectroweaksubgroup,SU(2)L x U(1)Y  U(1)QED, so thattheW and Z bosonsbecomemassive. TheHiggsHunting iii) TheLHC has justdiscovered a new particlearound125 GeV*. iv) Whatifthis new particleisnot a Higgsboson? Or a notstandardone? Or a scalarresonance? Weshould look foralternativemechanisms of massgeneration. HiggslessElectroweak Models vi) Strongly-coupledmodels: usuallythey do containresonances.

4. Why am I talkingabout EWSB at Chiral Dynamics 2012? i) In thelimitwherethe U(1)Ycoupling g’ isneglected, theLagrangianisinvariantunder global SU(2)L x SU(2)Rtransformations. TheElectroweakSymmetryBreaking(EWSB) turnsoutto be SU(2)L x SU(2)R SU(2)L+R(custodial symmetry). ii) Absolutely similar totheChiralSymmetryBreaking(ChSB) occuring in QCD. So thesame pion Lagrangian describes theGoldstonebosondynamicsassociatedwiththe EWSB, beingreplacedfπbyv=1/√(2GF)=246 GeV.Sameprocedure as in ChiralPerturbationTheory (ChPT)*. iii) We can introduce theresonancefieldsneeded in strongly-coupledHiggslessmodels in a similar way as in ChPT: ResonanceChiralTheory(RChT)**. • Note theimplications of a naïverescalingfrom QCD toEW: iv) Actually, theestimation of the S parameter in strongly-coupled EW modelsisequivalenttothedetermination of L10 in ChPT***. * Weinberg ’79 * Gasser & Leutwyler ‘84 ‘85 * Bijnens et al. ‘99 ‘00 **Eckeret al. ’89 ** Cirigliano et al. ’06 Viability of HiggslessmodelswithintheElectroweakPrecision Observables, I.

13. iii) NLO results: only 1st WSR • 1st WSR at NLO + VFF and AFF constraints: • 5 constraints • MV and MA theonly free parameters are. • Withoutthe 2nd WSR we can only derive lowerboundson S. • Imposingthat Fv2 – FA2 > 0 wehavefoundonly2solutions. • One of them (red) isclearlydisfavoured: • Sharplyviolation of the 2nd WSR at LO and at NLO • Large NLO correction • Big splittingbetween MV and MA.
