Singlets in Composite Higgs Models in light of the LHC di-photon searches
Alexander Belyaev, Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Haiying Cai +3
Models of compositeness can successfully address the origin of the Higgs boson, as a pseudo Nambu Goldstone boson (pNGB) of a spontaneously broken global symmetry, and flavour phys…
Light 't Hooft Top Partners
Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Alberto Parolini
Vector-like quarks, usually dubbed top partners, are a common presence in composite Higgs models. Being composite objects, their mass is expected to be of the order of their invers…
Composite scalars at the LHC: the Higgs, the Sextet and the Octet
Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Haiying Cai, Aldo Deandrea +3
We present a phenomenological theory of scalar particles that transform as a sextet and an octet of QCD interactions. These particles may arise as light bound states of a fundament…
Anarchic Yukawas and top partial compositeness: the flavour of a successful marriage
Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Haiying Cai, Thomas Flacke +3
The top quark can be naturally singled out from other fermions in the Standard Model due to its large mass, of the order of the electroweak scale. We follow this reasoning in model…
