Implications of a Light Higgs in Composite Models

Redi, Michele, Tesi, Andrea

Understand

We study the Higgs mass in composite Higgs models with partial compositeness, extending the results of Ref.

  • [1] to different representations of the composite sector for SO(5)/SO(4) and to the coset SO(6)/SO(5).
  • For a given tuning we find in general a strong correlation between the mass of the top partners and the Higgs mass, akin to the one in supersymmetry.
  • If the theory is natural a Higgs mass of 125 GeV typically requires fermionic partners below TeV which might be within the reach of the present run of LHC.
