Description
I summarize ATLAS and CMS data suggesting heavy diboson (VV, with V = W,Z, and VH)) resonances near 2 TeV at the LHC. Then I briefly describe a new model for the 125 GeV Higgs boson H as a light composite state. This model predicts that H is accompanied by heavier vector and axial vector states with masses in the range 1--2 TeV and which decay, respectively, to WW, WZ and to WH, ZH combinations. I estimate their decay and production rates in Run 1 and Run 2. Finally, I suggest a number of tests of this model and ways to distinguish it from other composite Higgs models in Run 2.
