Description
Joint INFN/SNS/UniPi Theory Group Seminars
According to the Standard Model paradigm, the newly discovered Higgs boson is predicted to be elementary,and would thus be the first fundamental scalar field ever observed. But Nature might repeat herself, and the Higgs boson could be instead a bound state of new strongly-coupled dynamics at the TeV scale. The problem of stabilizing the electroweak scale would thus be solved dynamically, similarly to the QCD scale. In this seminar I will review the status of composite Higgs theories, how they compare with current experimental results and what are the most promising strategies to test them at present and future colliders.
