RT Journal Article T1 Higgs effective potential in the littlest Higgs model at the one-loop level A1 Dobado González, Antonio A1 Tabares Cheluci, Lourdes A1 Peñaranda, Siannah AB In this work we compute the contributions to the Higgs effective potential coming from the fermion and gauge boson sectors at the one-loop level in the context of the SU(5)/SO(5) littlest Higgs (LH) model using a cutoff Lambda and including all finite parts. We consider both, the (SU(2) x U(1))(1) x (SU(2) x U(1))(2) and the (SU(2) x U(1))(1) x (SU(2) x U(1)) gauge group versions of the LH model. We also show that the Goldstone bosons present in the model do not contribute to the effective potential at the one-loop level. Finally, by neglecting the contribution of higher dimensional operators, we discuss the restrictions that the new one-loop contributions set on the parameter space of the LH model and the need to include higher loop corrections to the Higgs potential.
