Phenomenology of unusual top partners in composite Higgs models
arXiv:2112.00019 · doi:10.1007/JHEP02(2022)208
Abstract
We consider a particular composite Higgs model which contains SU(3) color octet top partners besides the usually considered triplet representations. Moreover, color singlet top partners are present as well which can in principle serve as dark matter candidates. We investigate the LHC phenomenology of these unusual top partners. Some of these states could be confused with gluinos predicted in supersymmetric models at first glance.
