Abstract

We propose a new mechanism to generate the couplings of the top quark to a composite Goldstone Higgs, which we dub {\it Global Extended Technicolor} (GETC). Top, techni-fermions and spin-1 mediators arise as bound states of a tumbling chiral gauge theory. We propose a simple model based on a tumbling SU(4)SU(4) dynamics, which predicts partial compositeness for the top and an SU(3)SU(3) model with 6 Dirac flavours for the low-energy composite Higgs. Neutron decay bounds require the new dynamics to confine above 106÷710^{6\div 7} TeV. A simple extension of the basic model allows to generate partial compositeness also for bottom and tau, and a walking dynamics from an intermediate SU(3)SU(3) theory with 10 flavours (6 light + 4 heavy), whose dynamics can be studied on the Lattice.
