We illustrate this idea with two specific gauge models. Besides being consistent with all currently available experimental data, both models maintain the predictive power of the standard model, since the first model has only one additional parameter beyond the standard model, and the second has the same number of free parameters as the standard model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2007-09-23T02:29:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "broken scale invariance", "pseudo-goldstone boson", "standard model", "electroweak higgs boson", "specific gauge models" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physics Letters B", "year": 2007, "month": "Nov", "volume": 655, "number": "3-4", "pages": 156 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007PhLB..655..156F", "inspire": 748287 } } }
