Bounds on the Simplest Little Higgs Model Mass Spectrum Through Z Leptonic Decay
We derive the leptonic neutral current in the simplest little Higgs model and
compute the contribution of the model to the decay width . Using
the precision electroweak data we obtain a strong lower bound TeV
at 95% C.L. on the characteristic energy scale of the model. It results in a
lower bound for the new gauge bosons and as being
TeV and TeV, respectively.
We also present the allowed values of the which is the parameter
relating the two vacuum expectation values of the scalar triplets in the model,
and the parameter of a quadratic term, involving the triplets, necessary
to provide an acceptable mass range for the standard Higgs boson.Comment: New references added, 13 pages. Version to be publishe
