Abstract

We study constraints on Composite Higgs models with fermion partial compositeness from electroweak precision measurements, including the 2022 WW-boson mass result from the CDF collaboration. We focus on models where the Composite Higgs sector arises from underlying four-dimensional strongly interacting gauge theories with fermions, and where the SM fermions obtain their mass via linear mixing terms between the fermions and the composite sector -- the so-called fermion partial compositeness scenario. In general, the Composite Higgs sector leads to a small and positive SS parameter, and a negative TT parameter, but the fermion partial compositeness sector results in an overall positive TT parameter in a large part of parameter space. We, therefore, find good agreement between the full composite models and the current electroweak precision measurement bounds on SS and TT from LEP and CDF, including the offset and correlation of S,TS,T with respect to the SM predictions.
