We show that the processes of $\gamma b, Hb, Zb, W^-t$ production in gluon+bottom collision can give interesting informations about possible Higgs boson, top and bottom quark compositeness. We make illustrations of the ratios of new cross…
We study the modifications of the amplitudes and cross sections of several processes, especially $e^+e^- \to t\bar t H, t\bar t Z, t\bar b W$, generated by Higgs boson and top quark compositeness, in particular within the CSM concept. We…
We extend our previous analysis of $t\bar t H, t\bar t Z, t\bar b W$ production in $e^+e^-$ collisions within the CSM (Composite Standard Model) concept of Higgs boson and top quark compositeness to the case of gluon-gluon and photon-photon…
We assume that the Higgs doublet has a composite structure, respecting the main standard model properties, and therefore called Composite Standard Model (CSM), but leading (through Goldstone equivalence) to $Z_L$ and $W_L$ form factors. We…
We study more deeply the sensitivity of the $ZH$ production process in gluon-gluon collisions to the details of a possible Higgs and top quark compositeness. We establish a relation between Higgs and top quark form factors which would keep…
Like many other models, Composite Higgs Models feature the existence of heavy vector-like quarks. Mixing effects between the Standard Model fields and the heavy states, which can be quite large in case of the top quark, imply deviations…
In models of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the SM fermions get their masses by mixing with composite states, it is natural to expect the top quark to show properties of compositeness. We study the phenomenological viability of…
The study of the top quark properties will be an integral part of any particle physics activity at future leptonic colliders. In this proceeding we discuss the possibility of testing composite Higgs scenarios at $e^+e^-$ prototypes through…
We study the modifications of the $\gamma\gamma\to ZH$ amplitudes and cross sections generated by Higgs and top quark compositeness in particular within the CSM concept. We insist on the particular interest of polarized photon-photon…
We recall the motivations for the Compositeness Standard Model(CSM) concept, its precise description, the procedures for its applications and the particular constraints that it requires. We present its most spectacular predictions for…
I discuss consequences of electroweak symmetry breaking by strong dynamics, assuming the existence of a light composite scalar appearing as a pseudo-Goldstone boson of some global symmetry of the new strongly interacting sector. In such a…
The Standard Model (SM) with a light Higgs boson provides a very good description of the precision electroweak observable data coming from the LEP, SLD and Tevatron experiments. Most of the observables, with the notable exception of the…
We study electroweak symmetry breaking involving the seesaw mechanism of quark condensation. These models produce a composite Higgs boson involving the left-handed top quark, yet the top mass arises naturally at the observed scale. We…
We test the sensitivity of a future e+e- collider to composite Higgs scenarios encompassing partial compositeness. Besides the detailed study of the Higgs properties, such a machine will have a rich top-quark physics programme mainly in two…
The Composite Particles Model (CPM) is characterized by composite Higgs, composite top quark, cancelation of the scalar leading quadratic divergences, and a particular ground state such that top anti-top channel is neither attractive or…
We analyse the interplay of the constraints imposed on flavour-symmetric Composite Higgs models by Naturalness considerations and the constraints derived from Flavour Physics and Electroweak Precision Tests. Our analysis is based on the…
Theoretical predictions for processes involving top quarks, such as top quark-antiquark pair production, depend on fundamental standard model (SM) parameters like the top quark mass or potentially receive contributions from beyond-the-SM…
The actual realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking in the context of a natural extension of the Standard Model (SM) and the nature of Dark Matter (DM) are two of the most compelling questions in high-energy particle physics.…
In this paper we consider the effects of top quark compositeness on the electroweak parameters T-hat and S-hat and the Zbb coupling. We do so by using an effective field theory analysis to identify several promising patterns of mixing…
In theories of Partial Compositeness the top quark is a mixture of a composite and an elementary state, and as a consequence its interactions with gauge bosons are expected to deviate from those of a point-like object. At sufficiently large…
