We provide a pedagogical introduction to extensions of the Standard Model in which the Higgs is composite. These extensions are known as models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking or, in brief, Technicolor. Material covered includes: motivations for Technicolor, the construction of underlying gauge theories leading to minimal models of Technicolor, the comparison with electroweak precision data, the low energy effective theory, the spectrum of the states common to most of the Technicolor models, the decays of the composite particles and the experimental signals at the Large Hadron Collider. The level of the presentation is aimed at readers familiar with the Standard Model but who have little or no prior exposure to Technicolor. Several extensions of the Standard Model featuring a composite Higgs can be reduced to the effective Lagrangian introduced in the text. We establish the relevant experimental benchmarks for Vanilla, Running, Walking, and Custodial Technicolor, and a natural fourth family of leptons, by laying out the framework to discover these models at the Large Hadron Collider.
We analyze the potential of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to observe signatures of phenomenologically viable Walking Technicolor models. We study and compare the Drell-Yan (DY) and Vector Boson Fusion (VBF) mechanisms for the production of composit
In multiscale models of walking technicolor, relatively light color-singlet technipions are produced in $q ol q$ annihilation in association with longitudinal $W$ and $Z$ bosons and with each other. The technipions decay as $tpiz ra b ol b$ and $tpip
In multiscale and topcolor-assisted models of walking technicolor, relatively light spin-one technihadrons $rho_T$ and $omega_T$ exist and are expected to decay as $rho_T to W pi_T, Z pi_T$ and $omega_T to gamma pi_T$. For $M_{rho_T} simeq 200 GeV$ a
We study the potential of the LHCb experiment to discover, for the first time, the $mu^+mu^-$ true muonium bound state. We propose a search for the vector $1^3S_1$ state, $mathcal{T!M}$, which kinetically mixes with the photon and dominantly decays t
We perform a lattice study of the topological susceptibility and instanton size distribution of the $su{2}$ gauge theory with two adjoint Dirac fermions (also known as Minimal Walking Technicolor), which is known to be in the conformal window. In the
