Induced electroweak symmetry breaking is an alternative to the Standard Model mechanism for triggering the Higgs vev which can preserve a Standard-Model-like Higgs decoupled from additional states. In composite Higgs models, this provides a natural mechanism to explain a hierarchy $v \ll f$ between the EWSB scale and the global symmetry breaking scale. In particular, we describe how composite...

ATLAS and CMS observe deviations from the expected background in the diphoton invariant mass searches of new resonances around 750 GeV. We show that a simple realization in terms of a new pseudoscalar state can accommodate the observations. The model leads to further footprints that can be soon observed. The new state can be interpreted both as an axion or as a highly natural composite state...

53. Making sense of the LHC diboson and diphoton excesses

Towards the end of Run-1 data taking, an excess in the diboson as well as eejj channel was announced. During the first round of Run-2 data taking, an excess in diphoton channel has been announced. I consider possible explanations of these excesses in two different BSM scenarios. I demonstrate the feasibility of accommodating the diboson and eejj excess in a Left-Right Symmetric Standard Model....
