Going Beyond the Minimal Composite Higgs Model

TL;DR

This paper explores two extensions of the minimal composite Higgs model, introducing new physics scenarios involving an extended Higgs sector and composite leptoquarks, which could lead to distinctive signals at the LHC.

Contribution

It proposes two novel directions beyond the minimal composite Higgs model, expanding the theoretical landscape and potential experimental signatures at the LHC.

Findings

Extended Higgs sector leads to new collider signatures.

Composite leptoquarks introduce distinctive decay channels.

Potential for observable deviations from the Standard Model at the LHC.

Abstract

If electroweak symmetry breaking arises via strong dynamics, electroweak precision tests and flavour physics experiments suggest that the minimal model should closely resemble the Standard Model at the LHC. I describe two directions going beyond the minimal model that result in radically different physics at the LHC. One direction extends the Higgs sector and the other involves composite leptoquark states.
