Description
The presence of weak-scale colored top partners is among
the simplest solutions to the Higgs hierarchy problem. In this talk,
I will examine the constraints on spin-0, spin-1/2, and spin-1 colored
top partners coming solely from their effects on the production and
decay rates of the observed Higgs with a mass of 125 GeV. Constraints
will be derived based on the Higgs precision data from the
LHC and the Tevatron. I will also investigate the expected sensitivity
from the future LHC runs, as well from possible future
electron-positron and proton-proton colliders. Finally, I will consider
various model-building aspects beyond the simplest colored top-partner
scenarios and evaluate how these weaken the current constraints and
expected sensitivities.
