Chiral tensor particles in the early Universe

Abstract

The status of the chiral tensor particles in the extended electroweak model, their experimental constraints, signatures and the possibilities for their detection at the new colliders are reviewed. The characteristic interactions of the chiral tensor particles in the early Universe plasma and the corresponding period of their cosmological influence is determined. The dynamical cosmological effect, namely the speeding of the Friedmann expansion due to the density increase caused by the introduction of the new particles, is evaluated. It is shown that the existence of the chiral tensor particles is allowed from cosmological considerations and welcomed by the particle physics phenomenology.
