Composite Higgs Meets Planck Scale: Partial Compositeness from Partial Unification

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-11-14 v1

Abstract

Providing an Ultra-Violet completion valid up to the Planck scale is of paramount importance to validate the composite Higgs paradigm, at par with supersymmetry. We propose the first complete and feasible framework, based on partial unification of a confining hypercolor gauge group, where couplings of the standard model fermions are mediated by both gauge and scalar bosons. We demonstrate our approach by providing an explicit model based on a Techni-Pati-Salam unification, SU(8)PS×SU(2)L×SU(2)RSU(8)_{\rm PS}\times SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R, able to generate masses for all fermion generations, including neutrinos, via partial compositeness. We predict an Sp(4)Sp(4) hypercolor group, and lattice studies will be crucial to validate the model.
