Opening windows for Technicolor

Recently a new class of technicolor models are proposed, using technifermions of symmetric second-rank tensor. In the models, one can make reasonable estimates of physical quantities like the Higgs mass and the size of oblique corrections, using a correspondence to super Yang-Mills theory in the Corrigan-Ramond limit. The models predict a surprisingly light Higgs of mass, $m_H=150\sim 500 {\rm GeV}$ and have naturally small $S$ parameter.
