TLDR
In this paper, the SO(6)/SO(5) model is extended with a CP-odd singlet scalar, η, in addition to the Higgs doublet.Abstract:
The Higgs spectrum of the minimal composite Higgs model, based on the SO(5)/SO(4) coset, consists of a unique Higgs doublet whose phenomenology does not differ greatly from the Standard Model (SM). Nevertheless, extensions beyond this minimal coset structure exhibit a richer Higgs spectrum and therefore very different Higgs physics. We explore one of these extensions, the SO(6)/SO(5) model, whose Higgs spectrum contains a CP-odd singlet scalar, η, in addition to the Higgs doublet. Due to the pseudo-Nambu- Goldstone nature of these Higgs bosons, their physical properties can be derived from symmetry considerations alone. We find that the mass of η can be naturally light, opening up the possibility that the SM Higgs decays predominantly to the singlet, and therefore lowering the LEP bound on its mass to 86GeV. We also show that η can have interesting consequences in flavour-violating processes, as well as induce spontaneous CP-violation in the Higgs sector. The model can also have anomalies, giving rise to interactions between the SM gauge bosons and η which, if measured at the LHC, would give quantitative information about the structure of the high energy theory.read more

The other natural two Higgs doublet model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize models where electroweak symmetry breaking is driven by two light Higgs doublets arising as pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons of new dynamics above the weak scale.

Global Aspects of Current Algebra
TL;DR: In this paper, a new mathematical framework for the Wess-Zumino chiral effective action is described, and it is shown that this action obeys an a priori quantization law, analogous to Dirac's quantization of magnetic change.

Structure of phenomenological Lagrangians. 1.
TL;DR: In this article, the general structure of phenomenological Lagrangian theories is investigated, and the possible transformation laws of the phenomenological fields under a group are discussed, which is equivalent to finding all (nonlinear) realizations of a (compact, connected, semisimpleasure) Lie group which become linear when restricted to a given subgroup.

The Minimal Composite Higgs Model
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a composite Higgs in the framework of a five-dimensional AdS theory, where electroweak symmetry is broken dynamically via top loop effects, all flavour problems are solved, and contributions to electroweak precision observables are below experimental bounds.

Gauge singlet scalars as cold dark matter
TL;DR: The regions of the (m(S),lambda(S)) parameter space which can be probed by present and future experiments designed to detect scattering of S dark matter particles from Ge nuclei, and to observe upward-moving muons and contained events in neutrino detectors due to high-energy neutrinos from annihilations of Sdark matter particles in the Sun and the Earth, are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a simple description of models where electroweak symmetry breaking is triggered by a light composite Higgs, which emerges from a strongly-interacting sector as a pseudo-Goldstone boson.
