Description
I will propose a four dimensional description of composite Higgs models which represents a complete framework for the physics of the Higgs as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson capturing all the relevant features of 5D models and more in general of composite Higgs models with partial compositeness.
The minimal scenario includes a single multiplet of resonances of the composite sector, as these will be the only degrees of freedom which might be accessible at the LHC. This turns out to be sufficient to compute the effective potential and derive phenomenological consequences of the theory. Moreover this simplified approach is well adapted to simulate composite Higgs models at the LHC. I'll show that the 4DCHM can give an explanation of the 125 GeV Higgs-like signal and provide signatures for the new bosons and fermions foreseen by these scenarios.
