Minimal Flavor Constraints for Technicolor

Understand

We analyze the constraints on the the vacuum polarization of the standard model gauge bosons from a minimal set of flavor observables valid for a general class of models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking.

• We will show that the constraints have a strong impact on the self-coupling and masses of the lightest spin-one resonances.
• Our analysis is applicable to any four and higher dimensional extension of the standard model reducing to models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking.
