We study, via first principles lattice simulations, the nonperturbative dynamics of SU(2) gauge theory with two fundamental Dirac flavors. The model can be can be used as a template model that unifies composite Higgs and technicolor models.

After  introducing the model, we  will discuss the status of the lattice simulation, including a discussion of the spectrum and of the scattering properties of the Goldstone bosons. Our results are a foundation for quantitative new composite dynamics relevant for model building, and are of interest to current experiments.
