Description
Abstract: Many underlying models of a composite Higgs predict additional composite scalar resonances which can be searched for at the LHC. In this talk we present a survey of experimental constraints on pair-produced scalar resonances with decay channels motivated by underlying models of a composite Higgs. In the second part, we focus on a particular signature -- pair-produced doubly-charged scalars with dominant three-body decays -- and show how machine-learning based search strategies can improve the discovery reach at the LHC.
