We construct renormalizable Standard Model extensions, valid up to the Planck scale, that give a composite Higgs from a new fundamental strong force acting on fermions and scalars. Yukawa interactions of these particles with Standard Model…
If the Higgs boson $H(125)$ is a composite due to new strong interactions at high energy, it has spin-one partners, $\rho_H$ and $a_H$, analogous to the $\rho$ and $a_1$ mesons of QCD. These bosons are heavy, their mass determined by the…
Composite Higgs models can be extended to the Planck scale by means of the partially unified partial compositeness (PUPC) framework. We present in detail the Techni-Pati-Salam model, based on a renormalizable gauge theory $SU(8)_{PS}\times…
We consider a particular composite Higgs model which contains SU(3) color octet top partners besides the usually considered triplet representations. Moreover, color singlet top partners are present as well which can in principle serve as…
We provide the first extensive, numerical study of the non-trivial problem of mixing between flavor-singlet composite states emerging in strongly coupled lattice field theories with matter field content consisting of fermions transforming…
This article presents a number of technical tools and results that may be instrumental to discern the nature of the Higgs particle. In scenarios where an additional strongly interacting sector is present in the electroweak theory resulting…
We construct a general class of pseudo-Goldstone composite Higgs models, within the minimal SO(5)/SO(4) coset structure, that are not necessarily of moose-type. We characterize the main properties these models should have in order to give…
The next generation electron-positron colliders are designed for precision studies of the Standard Model and its extensions, in particular in the Higgs sector. We consider the potential for discovery of composite Higgs models in Higgs pair…
We study the five chirality-flipping interactions that appear in the top-Higgs sector at leading order in the standard model effective field theory. We consider constraints from collider observables, flavor physics, and…
We present a flavour non-universal extension of the Standard Model combined with the idea of Higgs compositeness. At the TeV scale, the gauge groups $SU(2)_R$ and $U(1)_{B-L}$ are assumed to act in a non-universal manner on light- and…
While the LHC takes on the challenge of experimentally exploring the electroweak symmetry breaking sector, it is not only interesting but also crucial to explore alternatives to the Standard Model scenario with an elementary scalar Higgs…
I review the unification of gauge couplings of strong, weak and electro-magnetic interactions. I start by recalling the history of the most important prediction of low-energy supersymmetry: the correct value of the weak mixing angle tied to…
We consider the extension of the Standard Model (SM) with a strongly interacting QCD-like hidden sector, at least two generations of right-handed neutrinos and one scalar singlet. Once scalar singlet obtains a nonzero vacuum expectation…
As described previously, in SU(5) gauge theory with massless left-handed $ {\bf 5 \oplus 15 \oplus 40 \oplus 45^*}$ fermions \{QUD\}, an S-Matrix is produced by infra-red anomaly dynamics that might provide an extraordinarily economic…
The theory including interaction between Siegel and gauge multiplets leads to the model of nonbreaking supersymmetry which contains massive scalar, four component fermion and gauge fields. The upper bound of Higgs boson mass is estimated as…
The Higgs boson in fermionic condensates with the BCS pairing interaction describes the dynamics of the pairing amplitude. I show that the existence and properties of this mode are sensitive to the energy dispersion of the interaction.…
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…
We study a bottom-up, holographic description of a field theory yielding the spontaneous breaking of an approximate SO(5) global symmetry to its SO(4) subgroup. The weakly-coupled, six-dimensional gravity dual has regular geometry. One of…
The presence of weak-scale colored top partners is among the simplest solutions to the Higgs hierarchy problem and allows for a natural electroweak scale. We examine the constraints on generic colored top partners coming solely from their…
The LHC has been built to understand the dynamics at the origin of the breaking of the electroweak symmetry. Weakly coupled models with a fundamental Higgs boson have focused most of the attention of the experimental searches. We will…
