The Minimal Composite Higgs Model

We study the idea of a composite Higgs in the framework of five-dimensional AdS theory. We present the minimal model of Higgs as pseudo-Goldstone boson in which electroweak symmetry is broken dynamically via top loops effects, all flavour problems are solved, and contributions to electroweak observa...

Sumario:We study the idea of a composite Higgs in the framework of five-dimensional AdS theory. We present the minimal model of Higgs as pseudo-Goldstone boson in which electroweak symmetry is broken dynamically via top loops effects, all flavour problems are solved, and contributions to electroweak observables are below experimental bounds. Since the 5D theory is weakly coupled, we are able to fully determine the Higgs potential and other physical quantities. The lightest resonances are expected to have a mass around 2 TeV and should be discovered at the LHC. The top sector is mostly composite and deviations from Stadard Model couplings are expected.
