A partially composite Goldstone Higgs

Understand

We consider a model of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking with a partially composite Goldstone Higgs.

• The model is based on a strongly-interacting fermionic sector coupled to a fundamental scalar sector via Yukawa interactions.
• The SU(4) x SU(4) global symmetry of these two sectors is broken to a single SU(4) via Yukawa interactions.
• Electroweak symmetry breaking is dynamically induced by condensation due to the strong interactions in the new fermionic sector which further breaks the global symmetry SU(4) to Sp(4).
