Electroweak symmetry breaking and the gauge boson masses arise from new strong dynamics, which leads to the appearance of a composite scalar in the spectrum of excitations. In order to generate mass for the Standard Model fermions, we consider extended gauge dynamics, effectively represented by four fermion interactions at presently accessible energies. By systematically treating thes... VO - IS - SP - OP - KW - SYMMETRY-BREAKING; STANDARD MODEL; LHC; BOSON; MASS; 114 Physical sciences N1 - PP - ER -
