One-loop Radiative 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 heavy fermion and scalar loops. Numerical analysis indicates that the one-loop corrections are dominant over the tree-level contributions in most regions of parameter space. The experimentally allowed values of the $\rho$-parameter divide the allowed parameter space into two regions; less than $670\mathrm{GeV}$ and larger than $1100\mathrm{GeV}$ roughly, for the symmetry breaking scale $f$. Therefore our result significantly reduces the parameter space which are favorably accessible to the LHC.
