Why Calculate Z → b L b L ? The top quark is special in the SM model. Solutions to the hierarchy problem necessarily involve modifications / additions to the top sector, and the top quark mass sets a scale for flavor hierarchy. Through SU ( 2 ) L , the coupling between Z and b L feels these modifications and the well-measured Z -pole observables (ex: Γ( Z → b L b L ) and A b LR ) serve as strong constraints. In this talk, we elucidate the gaugeless technique of calculating flavor-dependent corrections to Z → b L b L , and apply this technique to the Three-Site Higgsless Model. The reference contains many other ways of understanding the result of this calculation. Ken Hsieh - Michigan State University Z → bb in Higgsless Models (arXiv:0902.3910)
