Exploring T and S parameters in Vector Meson Dominance Models of Strong
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
   [PDF]

Axel Orgogozo, Slava Rychkov
We revisit the electroweak precision tests for Higgsless models of strong
EWSB. We use the Vector Meson Dominance approach and express S and T via
couplings characterizing vector and axial spin-1 resonances of the strong
sector. These couplings are constrained by the elastic unitarity and by
requiring a good UV behavior of various formfactors. We pay particular
attention to the one-loop contribution of resonances to T (beyond the chiral
log), and to how it can improve the fit. We also make contact with the recent
studies of Conformal Technicolor. We explain why the second Weinberg sum rule
never converges in these models, and formulate a condition necessary for
preserving the custodial symmetry in the IR.
