Direct Constraints, Flavor Physics, and Flavor Anomalies in Composite Higgs Models

All main concepts of composite Higgs models (CHMs) are discussed at length. In the context of global numerical analyses of two explicit CHMs, direct collider constraints on vector, fermion, and scalar resonances are studied in detail. Two recent anomalies in rare B meson decays are analyzed model independently. A simple CHM is constructed that can explain both anomalies by partially composite left-handed muons. The flavor physics of the minimal fundamental partial compositeness model is studied in detail and its capability of explaining the anomalies is shown. «All main concepts of composite Higgs models (CHMs) are discussed at length.
