Description
Composite Higgs studies, where the Higgs boson emerges as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson after the breaking of the global symmetry group, present a BSM solution to issues such as the hierarchy problem. In such models, the Higgs is described as a bound state of a confining "strong" force. Here, we investigate the phenomenology of a model with a non-minimal group structure, where the Yukawa couplings are generated through the partial compositeness mechanism. This leads to a spectrum of composite fermion partners, the lightest of which is the top partner.
