Fundamental composite dynamics: A review

G Cacciapaglia, C Pica, F Sannino - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We introduce fundamental gauge theories that can be employed to construct informed
composite bright and dark extensions of the Standard Model, within and beyond the …

Strong dynamics and electroweak symmetry breaking

CT Hill, EH Simmons - Physics Reports, 2003 - Elsevier
The breaking of electroweak symmetry, and origin of the associated “weak scale”, v weak=
1/2 2 GF= 175 GeV, may be due to a new strong interaction. Theoretical developments over …

Conformal dynamics for TeV physics and cosmology

F Sannino - arXiv preprint arXiv:0911.0931, 2009 - arxiv.org
We introduce the topic of dynamical breaking of the electroweak symmetry and its link to
unparticle physics and cosmology. The knowledge of the phase diagram of strongly coupled …

Minimal walking technicolor: Setup for collider physics

R Foadi, MT Frandsen, TA Ryttov, F Sannino - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2007 - APS
Different theoretical and phenomenological aspects of the minimal and nonminimal walking
technicolor theories have recently been studied. The goal here is to make the models ready …

Minimal conformal technicolor and precision electroweak tests

JA Evans, J Galloway, MA Luty, RA Tacchi - Journal of High Energy …, 2010 - Springer
We study the minimal model of conformal technicolor, an SU (2) gauge theory near a
strongly coupled conformal fixed point, with conformal symmetry softly broken by …

Uncovering mass generation through Higgs flavor violation

W Altmannshofer, S Gori, AL Kagan, L Silvestrini… - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
A discovery of the flavor-violating decay h→ τ μ at the LHC would require extra sources of
electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) beyond the Higgs in order to reconcile it with the …

Fundamental partial compositeness

F Sannino, A Strumia, A Tesi, E Vigiani - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We construct renormalizable Standard Model extensions, valid up to the Planck
scale, that give a composite Higgs from a new fundamental strong force acting on fermions …

Dark Mesons at the LHC

GD Kribs, A Martin, B Ostdiek, T Tong - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract A new, strongly-coupled “dark” sector could be accessible to LHC searches now.
These dark sectors consist of composites formed from constituents that are charged under …

UV complete partially composite pseudo-Nambu Goldstone boson Higgs

J Galloway, AL Kagan, A Martin - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We explore an electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) scenario based on the mixture of a
fundamental Higgs doublet and an SU (4)/Sp (4) composite pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone …

Phenomenology of a nonstandard Higgs boson in scattering

V Koulovassilopoulos, RS Chivukula - Physical Review D, 1994 - APS
In this paper we consider the phenomenology of a nonstandard Higgs boson in longitudinal
gauge boson scattering. First, we present a composite Higgs model [based on an SU (4)/Sp …
