The claimed finding of a light Higgs boson makes the minimal Standard Model unitary. Yet, we recall that the general low-energy dynamics for the minimal electroweak symmetry breaking sector with three Goldstone bosons and one light scalar is not so. We construct the effective Lagrangian for these four particles and their scattering amplitudes, that can be extracted from LHC experiments when longitudinal W, Z modes be properly isolated for E >> M-W (equivalence theorem). We then observe the…

Strongly Interacting Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Sector with a Higgs-like light scalar
• Physics
• 2014
The apparent finding of a 125-GeV light Higgs boson closes unitarity of the minimal Standard Model (SM), that is weakly interacting: this is an exceptional feature not generally true if new physics
Fingerprints of heavy scales in electroweak effective Lagrangians
• Physics
• 2017
A bstractThe couplings of the electroweak effective theory contain information on the heavy-mass scales which are no-longer present in the low-energy Lagrangian. We build a general effective
Integrating out resonances in strongly-coupled electroweak scenarios
• Physics
• 2016
Accepting that there is a mass gap above the electroweak scale, the Electroweak Effective Theory (EWET) is an appropriate tool to describe this situation. Since the EWET couplings contain information

We develop 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.

WW scattering is dominated at high energies by their longitudinal components, which are the most sensitive to the nature of the electroweak symmetry breaking. Prior to the discovery at the LHC of a

The prospects for distinguishing this mode from a minimal Higgs boson at the LHC and ILC are discussed, and the main discriminants between the two scenarios are (i) cubic self-interactions and a potential enhancement of couplings to massless SM gauge bosons.
