## TL;DR

This paper investigates how light top-partners in composite Higgs models influence Higgs+Jet production at the LHC, especially at high transverse momentum, revealing dependence on top-partner representations.

## Contribution

It analyzes the effects of light top-partners on Higgs production and transverse momentum spectra, highlighting the role of top-partner representations in composite Higgs scenarios.

## Key findings

- Corrections to Higgs couplings depend on top-partner representations.
- Light top-partners significantly affect the Higgs transverse momentum spectrum.
- Associated production can probe new physics scales not accessible via gluon fusion.

## Abstract

In this paper we explore composite Higgs scenarios through the effects of light top-partners in Higgs+Jet production at the LHC. The pseudo-Goldstone boson nature of the Higgs field means that single-Higgs production via gluon fusion is insensitive to the mass spectrum of the top-partners. However in associated production this is not the case, and new physics scales may be probed. In the course of the work we consider scenarios with both one and two light top-partner multiplets in the spectrum of composite states. We study corrections to the Higgs couplings and the effects that the light top-partner multiplets have on the transverse momentum spectrum of the Higgs. Interestingly, we find that the corrections to the Standard Model expectation depend strongly on the representation of the top-partners in the global symmetry.
