If electroweak dynamical symmetry breaking is due to a chiral condensate of color sextet quarks, dynamics analagous to ``walking technicolor'' will enhance the condensate by orders of magnitude compared to the electroweak chiral scale. This enhancement compensates for the exponential suppression of electroweak scale color instanton interactions. As a result the $η_6$ axion can naturally aquire an electroweak scale mass.
The high-energy Regge behavior of gauge theories is studied via the formalism of Analytic Multi-Regge Theory. Perturbative results for spontaneously-broken theories are first organised into reggeon diagrams. Unbroken gauge theories are studied via a reggeon diagram infra-red analysis of symmetry restoration. Massless fermions play a crucial role and the case of QCD involves the Super-Critical Pomeron as an essential intermediate stage. An introductory review of the build up of transverse momentum diagrams and reggeon diagrams from leading log calculations in gauge theories is presented first. It is then shown that the results closely reproduce the general structure for multi-regge amplitudes derived in Part I of the article, allowing the construction of general reggeon diagrams for spontaneously-broken theories. Next it is argued that, with a transverse-momentum cut-off, unbroken gauge theories can be reached through an infra-red limiting process which successively decouples fundamental representation Higgs fields . The first infra-red limit studied is the restoration of SU(2) gauge symmetry. The analysis is dominated by the exponentiation of divergences imposed by Reggeon Unitarity and the contribution of massless quarks ...
The $η_6$ is a ``heavy axion'' remnant of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking by a color sextet quark condensate. Electroweak scale color instanton interactions allow it to be both very massive and yet be responsible for Strong CP conservation in the color triplet quark sector. It may have been seen at LEP via its two-photon decay mode and at TRISTAN via its hadronic decay modes.
We suggest that the sextet color condensation model is not only the simplest and most attractive scheme to modify the standard model but also may already have some ``experimental" support. The crucial test may be to observe a short-- lived axion--like $η_6$ of mass around 60 GeV/$c^2$ that can produce high energy photon pairs diffractively at hadron colliders and also radiatively from $Z^0$ at high energy $e^+ e^-$ colliders. Here we show how high--energy forward scattering can be affected by diffractive production of the $η_6$. Presented to the DPF-92 meeting.
The $η_6$, a ``heavy axion'' associated with sextet quark electroweak symmetry breaking, may have been seen at LEP via its two-photon decay mode and also at TRISTAN via its hadronic decay modes. - presented at DPF 92.
We present the minimal sextet--quark condensation model as an attractive alternative to the standard model. The model is constructed by a simple and natural extension beyond the standard model and has many new interesting features some of which can be tested readily at the existing colliders. A crucial test may be a short--lived axion-- like $η_6$ of mass 30--60 GeV, which can produce high energy photons diffractively at hadron colliders and radiatively in $e^+ e^-$ colliders.
