Littlest Higgs with T-parity: Status and Prospects

Abstract

The Littlest Higgs model with T-parity is providing an attractive solution to the fine-tuning problem. This solution is only entirely natural if its intrinsic symmetry breaking scale f is relatively close to the electroweak scale. We examine the constraints using the latest results from the 8 TeV run at the LHC. Both direct searches and Higgs precision physics are taken into account. The constraints from Higgs couplings are by now competing with electroweak precision tests and both combined exclude f up to 694 GeV or 560 GeV depending on the implementation of the down-type Yukawa sector. Direct searches provide robust and complementary limits and constrain f to be larger than 638 GeV. We show that the Littlest Higgs model parameter space is slowly driven into the TeV range. Furthermore, we develop a strategy on how to optimise present supersymmetry searches for the considered model, with the goal to improve the constraints and yield more stringent limits on f.
