Probing Compositeness with Higgs Boson Decays at the LHC

Abstract

A method is proposed to directly probe the Higgs boson compositeness using the unique characteristics of a boosted Higgs boson produced in association with a weak gauge boson ($W^{\pm },Z$). The discovery potential for the upcoming LHC running is presented, showing that compositeness scales up to 3 TeV can be probed at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of $\mathcal{L}=3000$ fb${}^{-1}$ collected at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV.
