Spectroscopy of SU(4) composite Higgs theory with two distinct fermion representations

We have simulated the SU(4) lattice gauge theory coupled to dynamical fermions in the fundamental and two-index antisymmetric (sextet) representations simultaneously. Such theories arise naturally in the context of composite Higgs models that include …

One-loop Chiral Perturbation Theory with two fermion representations

We develop chiral perturbation theory for chirally broken theories with fermions in two different representations of the gauge group. Any such theory has a nonanomalous singlet U(1)A symmetry, yielding an additional Nambu-Goldstone boson when …

Toward TeV Conformality

We study the chiral condensate $textlessbarpsi psitextgreater$ for an SU(3) gauge theory with $N_f$ massless Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation when $N_f$ is increased from 2 to 6. For $N_f=2$, our lattice simulations of $textlessbarpsi …
