The Composite Particles Model (CPM) is characterized by composite Higgs, composite top quark, cancelation of the scalar leading quadratic divergences, and a particular ground state such that top anti-top channel is neither attractive or repulsive at tree level at the Z pole mass. The radiatively generated scalar mass in 2D is m_H=sqrt((6m_t^2 -M_Z^2-2M_w^2)/3(1+{pi}/k))= 113 GeV/c^2,143 GeV/c^2,...,230 GeV/c^2 for k = 1,2,...infty. As first proposed by Nambu in the simplest models with dynamical mass generation and fermion condensate in 4D, one expects the Higgs mass on the order of twice the heaviest fermion mass. Hence, if this is applied to the CPM one could expect scalar mass dynamically generated by top constituent quarks and composite top quarks to be equal to 2 m_t/3 and 2m_t respectively. When Bose-Einstein statistics for kT cong M_W c^2 is applied to the two lowest energy states in 2D (113 GeV and 143 GeV) and 4D (115 GeV and 346 GeV), the CPM suggests physical Higgs mass equal to m_H cong 125 GeV/c^2 in both 2D and 4D.
The radiatively generated Higgs mass is obtained by requiring that leading divergences are cancelled in both 2D and 4D. This predicts one or more viable modes; the k=1 mode mass is m_Hcong2/3 m_tcong115GeV whereas the k=2 mode is m_Hcong143GeV. These findings are interpreted within the Composite Particles Model (CPM), [Popovic 2002, 2010], with the massive top quark being a composite structure composed of 3 fundamental O quarks (Obar{O}O) and the massive Higgs scalar being a color-neutral meson like structure composed of 2 fundamental O quarks (bar{O}O). The CPM predicts that the Z mass generation is mediated primarily by a top - anti top whereas the Higgs mass is generated primarily by a O - anti O interactions. The relationship [Popovic 2010] between top Yukawa coupling and strong QCD coupling, obtained by requiring that top - anti top channel is neither attractive or repulsive at tree level at surd scongM_Z, defines the Z mass. In addition, this relationship indirectly defines the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) vacuum expectation value (VEV), the CPM Higgs mass and potentially the EWSB scale.
Assuming that the 125 GeV particle observed at the LHC is a composite scalar and responsible for the electroweak gauge symmetry breaking, we consider the possibility that the bound state is generated by a non-Abelian gauge theory with dynamically generated gauge boson masses and a specific chiral symmetry breaking dynamics motivated by confinement. The scalar mass is computed with the use of the Bethe-Salpeter equation and its normalization condition as a function of the SU(N) group and the respective fermionic representation. If the fermions that form the composite state are in the fundamental representation of the SU(N) group, we can generate such light boson only for one specific number of fermions for each group. In the case of small groups, like SU(2) to SU(5), and two fermions in the adjoint representation we find that is quite improbable to generate such light composite scalar.
We assess the extent to which various constrain
The ATLAS and CMS experiments have recently announced the discovery of a Higgs-like resonance with mass close to 125 GeV. Overall, the data is consistent with a Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs boson. Such a particle may arise in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM with average stop masses of the order of the TeV scale and a sizable stop mixing parameter. In this article we discuss properties of the SM-like Higgs production and decay rates induced by the possible presence of light staus and light stops. Light staus can affect the decay rate of the Higgs into di-photons and, in the case of sizable left-right mixing, induce an enhancement in this production channel up to $sim$ 50% of the Standard Model rate. Light stops may induce sizable modifications of the Higgs gluon fusion production rate and correlated modifications to the Higgs diphoton decay. Departures from SM values of the bottom-quark and tau-lepton couplings to the Higgs can be obtained due to Higgs mixing effects triggered by light third generation scalar superpartners. We describe the phenomenological implications of light staus on searches for light stops and non-standard Higgs bosons. Finally, we discuss the current status of the search for light staus produced in association with sneutrinos, in final states containing a $W$ gauge boson and a pair of $tau$s.
We develop diagnostic tools that would provide incontrovertible evidence for the presence of more than one Higgs boson near 125 GeV in the LHC data.
