Description

In scenarios where the Higgs is viewed as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) the question of naturalness finds itself at a tipping point between direct searches and precision. If, by the end of the High-Luminosity LHC operation, all experimental results were to remain consistent with the Standard Model, precision Higgs coupling measurements will begin to drive the naturalness tension. To illustrate this from a fresh perspective we construct a maximally natural `Kitchen Sink' model. Implications for FCC-ee and FCC-hh are discussed.
