Fermionic unparticles are introduced and their basic properties are discussed. Some phenomenologies related are exploited, such as their effects on charged Higgs boson decays and anomalous magnetic moments of leptons. Also, it has been found that measurements of $B^0-\bar B^0$ mixing could yield interesting constraints on couplings between unparticle operators and standard model fields., Comment: Version to appear in Phys.

Starting from the Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann reduction theorem, we provide a general procedure to extract S-matrix elements from Green functions in arbitrary renormalization schemes., Final version appears in Phys. Lett. B

We study a scenario of electroweak symmetry breaking where the weak gauge boson masses arises significantly from a fermiophobic source. To minimize flavor violation, the fermion mass generation is still due to one light doublet scalar. One of the realizations is the Bosonic Technicolor model. In these scenarios, the Yukawa couplings between the light scalar and the standard model fermions are in general enhanced while the couplings between the light scalar and weak gauge bosons are reduced. Even though the flavor violation induced by the neutral scalar at the tree level can be avoided, the charged scalar state inevitably mediate flavor changing neutral current processes. With the enhancement in the Yukawa couplings, one expects serious constraints of such models from flavor violating effects. We find that the most severe bound comes from neutral meson mixing of $B^{0}_{d}-\bar{B^{0}_{d}}$. Large parameter space is excluded if the weak gauge boson mass generation is dominated by the fermophobic sector. However, the correlation between the Yukawa coupling and charged scalar mass show that a factor of two enhancement in top Yukawa coupling is still allowed for charged scalar heavier than 500 GeV. We use this as a benchmark point to study the phenomenology of the light scalar. It is interesting that the destructive interference between the top quark loop and the $W$-boson loop in the di-photon channel becomes significant and makes the channel negligible. In the light scalar region, the search becomes much more challenging than the conventional SM Higgs boson., Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures
