Abstract

We consider the possibility of a light composite scalar boson arising from mass mixing between a relatively light and heavy scalar singlets in a see-saw mechanism expected to occur in two-scale Technicolor (TC) models. A light composite scalar boson can be generated when the TC theory features two technifermions species in different representations, R1R_1 and R2R_2, under a single technicolor gauge group, with characteristic scales Λ1\Lambda_1 and Λ2\Lambda_2. We determine the final composite scalar fields, Φ1\Phi_1 and Φ2\Phi_2, effective theory using the effective potential for composite operators approach. To generate a light composite scalar it is enough to have a walking (or quasi-conformal) behavior just for one of the technifermions representations.
