The Sextet Higgs Mechanism and the Pomeron

Abstract

If electroweak symmetry breaking is a consequence of color sextet quark chiral symmetry breaking, dramatic, large cross-section, effects are to be expected at the LHC - with the pomeron playing a prominent role. The symmetry breaking is tied to a special solution of QCD which can be constructed, at high-energy, via the chiral anomaly and reggeon diagrams. There is confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, but physical states contain both quarks and a universal, anomalous, wee gluon component. A variety of Cosmic Ray effects could be supporting evidence, including the knee in the spectrum and the ultra-high energy events. The sextet neutron should be stable and is a natural dark matter candidate. A large $E_T$ jet excess at Fermilab, and large $x$ and $Q^2$ events at HERA, would be supporting accelerator evidence. Further evidence, including diffractive-related vector boson pair production and top quark related phenomena, could be seen at Fermilab as data is accumulated.
