1-loop Corrections to the \rho Parameter in the Left-Right Twin Higgs Model

Abstract

We implement a one-loop analysis of the $\rho$ parameter in the Left Right Twin Higgs model, including the logarithmically enhanced contributions from both fermion and scalar loops. Numerical results show that the one-loop contributions are dominant over the tree level corrections in most regions of parameter space. The experimentally allowed values of $\rho$-parameter divide the allowed parameter space into two regions; less than $670 {\rm GeV}$ and larger than $1100 {\rm GeV}$ roughly, for symmetry breaking scale $f$. Our numerical analysis significantly reduces the parameter space which are favorably accessible to the LHC.
