Description
Twin Higgs models address the hierarchy problem and can provide interesting dark matter possibilities. However, the cosmology of these models can be problematic.
I present a new twin Higgs model in which the usual color group originates from the spontaneous breaking of a gauged SU(4) symmetry in the visible sector. In the hidden sector the SU(4) is not broken leading to new dark matter possibilities. I present the signals necessary to observe this model in collider experiments, and address its cosmological effects on $N_{effective}$.
