Vector-like Fermions in a Minimal Composite Higgs Model

Abstract

We consider the scenario where the composite Higgs arising as a pNGB in a two-site model with a non-local term included. Constraints from pion scattering and electroweak precision test are considered. We discuss the effects of composite resonances, in particular the one from composite vector-like fermions, on the oblique parameters. It is noticed that the gluon fusion production of Higgs boson is suppressed with respect to the Standard Model for about $6\%$ after imposing the unitarity and electroweak bounds.
