Description
We consider the implications of current LHC data on new physics with strongly interacting sector(s). In particular we consider the effects of new vector mesons arising from strong dynamics. We discuss two example cases: first, the case where the effects of the vectors arise only through their mixing with the electroweak gauge fields and, second, the case where also a direct interaction terms exist. We find that in the case where the new vector states couple with the higgs boson only via non-negligible mixing is ruled out in light of the present data, but direct interactions can compensate and result in a viable model.
