The Zbb vertex in a left-right model

Abstract: We consider the one-loop corrections to the vertex in a CP-conserving left-right model (LRM), viz. a model with gauge group SU(2)LimesSU(2)RimesU(1). We allow the gauge coupling constants of SU(2)L and SU(2)R to be different. The spontaneous symmetry breaking is effected only by doublets and/or singlets of SU(2)L and SU(2)R. We assume that the lightest massive neutral gauge boson has the same couplings, at the tree level, as in the Standard Model (SM); then, the infrared divergences cancel down in the subtraction of the vertex in the SM from the same vertex in the LRM. We effect a proper renormalization of the vertex and check explicitly both its gauge invariance and the cancellation of all the ultraviolet divergences. We find out that a LRM with the above assumptions cannot achieve a better fit to the vertex than a multi-Higgs extension of the SM.
