    15 Minimal Walking Technicolor (MWT) is an extension of the Standard Model featuring a new strong sector based on a new gauge group SU(2) technicolor with a doublet of Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation. Next to Minimal Walking Technicolor (NMWT) is a similar extension, but based the gauge group SU(3) technicolor with a doublet of Dirac fermions in the two-index symmetric representation.
     19We have implemented the simplest of the recently identified walking technicolor models, which can pass the electroweak precision tests.

    1724Our implementation makes use of the effective low-energy model containing scalars, pseudoscalars, vector mesons and other fields predicted by the models. The implemented model is the simplest one, which contains only the composite states, which are expected to be the most important for collider phenomenology. These are the composite Higgs, and the vector and axial spin-one resonances. For these states the effective theories of MWT and NMWT coincide.

    31 One popular Beyond the Standard Model theory is the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Its main features are to link bosons with fermions and unify internal and external symmetries. Moreover, it allows for a stabilization of the gap between the Planck and the electroweak scale and for gauge coupling unification at high energies, provides a dark matter candidate as the lightest supersymmetric particle and appears naturally in string theories. However, since supersymmetric particles have not yet been discovered, supersymmetry must be broken at low energies, which makes the superpartners massive in comparison to their Standard Model counterparts.
    32 
    33 Our MSSM implementation in !FeynRules is the most general one in a sense that it is keeping all the flavour-violating and helicity-mixing terms in the Lagrangian and also all the possible additional CP-violating phases. This yields thus 105 new free parameters. In order to deal in a transparent way with all of those, our implementation will follow the commonly used universal set of conventions provided by the Supersymmetry Les Houches Accord, except for some minor points (see instructions below).

     62=== Instructions and details ===
     63
     64The model file is loaded as usual. The attached Mathematica® notebook can be used for this task.*****
     65
     66The calculator is needed by the MadGraph implementation in order to change the parameters of the model. The directory is provided by a README file with the instructions on the usage.
     67'''...Say something about Tuomas HGG'''
     68
     69The model file implements a (linear) effective theory for the spin-zero and spin-one sectors in technicolor, with the minimal SU(2),,L,, x SU(2),,R,, -> SU(2),,V,, chiral symmetry breaking pattern. The strong technicolor interactions is linked to the electroweak sector as stipulated by the electroweak gauge transformations of the techniquarks. The modifications to the effective theory due to the electroweak interactions are mostly small. The composite scalar sector contains the composite Higgs boson and a triplet of massless technipions, which are eaten by the heavy gauge boson Z and W. The Higgs is expected to be relatively light (mass less than 500 GeV). We also have vector and axial spin-one triplets, which mix with each other and with the electroweak gauge bosons.
     70
     71In addition to the standard model fermions, we thus have the following new particles:
     72* Composite Higgs scalar H
     73* Neutral heavy vector R_1^0^
     74* Charged heavy vector R,,1,,^+^, R,,1,,^-^
     75* Neutral heavy vector R,,2,,^0^
     76* Charged heavy vector R,,2,,^+^, R,,2,,^-^
     77
     78The numbering convention for the heavy spin-one states is such that R,,1,, is always the lighter one. When the mass scale is below 1 TeV R,,1,, (R,,2,,) has larger component of the axial (vector) spin-one composite state than of the vector (axial) state. When masses are increased to about 2 TeV, the situation is reversed.
     79
     80Using the effective theory introduces several new coupling constants. These can be constrained by linking to the underlying gauge theory via the Weinberg sum rules and the definition of the electroweak S parameter. After taking into account the Weinberg sum rules, the free parameters can be expressed in terms of:
     81* MA: The spin-one mass scale. More precisely, the mass of the axial spin-one state in the limit where the electroweak interactions are turned off. Allowed range is from about 500 GeV to about 3 TeV, depending on the values of other parameters.
     82* gt: The effective strength of technicolor interactions. Parametrizes the corrections of the electroweak interactions to the technicolor sector, which are typically O(g/gt), with g being the weak coupling constant. In particular, the mixing of the composite spin-one states with the electroweak gauge bosons, and therefore also the coupling of
     83the composite spin-one states to the standard model fermions, is O(g/gt). Allowed values range from about 1 to about 10.
     84* S: The (contribution of the lowest spin-one states to the) S parameter. Recommended values come from naive estimates of the S parameter (calculation of techniquark loops), which gives S=0.15 for MWT and S=0.3 for NMWT.
     85* MH: The mass of the composite Higgs boson.
     86* rs: Parametrizes the couplings of the Higgs to the composite spin-one states. Expected to be O(1).
     87
     88The implementation supports unitary gauge. The standard model section has only Cabibbo mixing, and the electron and the muon, as well as the up, down and strange quarks, are taken to be massless.
