Description
Providing an Ultra-Violet completion valid up to the Planck scale is of paramount importance to validate the composite Higgs paradigm, on a par with supersymmetry. We propose the first complete framework, based on partial unification of a confining hypercolor gauge group with the Standard Model color group, where couplings of the standard model fermions are mediated by both gauge and scalar bosons. We demonstrate our approach by providing an explicit model based on a Techni-Pati-Salam (TPS) unification, SU(8)PS×SU(2)L×SU(2)R , able to generate masses for all fermion generations, including neutrinos, via partial compositeness. The TPS scenario features an Sp(4) hypercolor group, and lattice studies will be crucial to validate the model.
