Description

In this talk I will review some topics of composite Higgs models. These can successfully address the origin of the Higgs boson, as a pseudo-Goldstone of a spontaneously broken global symmetry, and flavour physics via the partial compositeness mechanism. Models which contain a Higgs and top partners at the same time can also contain additional light scalars in the composite spectrum. Such new states can have an important role in constraining theses models of partial compositeness. I will also show that a light pseudo-scalar in these formulations can be abundantly produced at the LHC and still be allowed by present searches.
