Radiative Contribution to the Composite-Higgs Potential in a Two-Representation Lattice Model

Working in a two-representation lattice gauge theory that is close to a composite-Higgs model, we calculate the low-energy constant CLR which controls the contribution of the electroweak gauge bosons to the Higgs potential. In QCD, the corresponding …

Thermal dark matter from a confining sector

We study a class of dark matter models in which the dark matter is a baryon-like composite particle of a confining gauge group and also a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson associated with the breaking of an enhanced chiral symmetry group. The approximate …
