Title: A naturally light Higgs without light Top Partners
Host: Ennio Salvioni
Room: 432
Abstract: In this talk, I will show that the inclusion of a realistic lepton sector can relax significantly the upper bound on top partner masses in minimal composite Higgs models, induced by the lightness of the Higgs boson. I will comment on the impact of different possibilities for realizing the fermion sectors on the Higgs potential, with a special emphasis on the role of the leptons, showing in particular that very minimal setups can avoid the presence of light partners in an economical and natural way.
