Description
I will discuss a new framework for technicolor, where the Higgs can be interpreted as a dilaton. In contrast to other 'dilatonic' technicolor proposals, in crawling TC the Higgs is a genuine pseudo- Goldstone boson and therefore it is naturally light. I will concentrate on low-energy aspects of the theory and show that the framework is specific enough that one can express all the dilaton interactions in closed form. I will then comment on the prospects to test this proposal both at the LHC and through lattice simulations.
