Fermion masses and the extended technicolor scale

  • Published:

Abstract

We show how the use of the so called irregular solution for the fermionic self-energy, enables to raise the extended technicolor mass scale, avoiding the problems of flavor changing neutral currents in dynamically broken gauge theories.
