    Description
    The little Higgs idea offers a true alternative to supersymmetry as good candidate effective field theory at the TeV scale. It requires a SM singlet vectorlike heavy top quark. The question is if there will or have to be extra quarks (or fermions). We argue that the extra gauge symmetry in a typical model can be used to dictate a complete fermionic spectrum through anomaly cancellation conditions, in a way similar to the SM itself. Focusing on a particular model, we explore what would be the implcations for flavour physics.
