Abstract The main goal of this postdoctoral project is to study the phenomenology of theories beyond the standard model already proposed in the literatura. These theories, the so-called Full-hierarchy Quiver Theories, have features that are qualitatively similar to theories with one warped extra dimensions, but are a generalization that solves several problems both in the standard models as well as in Randall-Sundnrum constructions. We will study the LHC phenomenology at Run II as well as for the High Luminosity stage (the HL-LHC). Since in these models the Higgs is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson, precision tests of the Higgs sector will be considered. | |
