Sextet Quarks and the Pomeron at the LHC

Abstract

Adding two color sextet quarks to QCD gives many special features. The high-energy S-Matrix, constructed via reggeon diagrams and chiral anomalies, contains the Critical Pomeron and electroweak symmetry breaking is produced, by sextet pions. Cosmic ray phenomena suggest large cross-section effects will be seen at the LHC, in particular, involving the pomeron. The sextet sector embeds, uniquely, in a massless, confining, left-handed SU(5) theory. The anomaly based high-energy S-Matrix could be that of the full Standard Model.
