Abstract

Composite Higgs models have played a fundamental role in the last 15 years or so, since they solve the so-called Hierarchy problem. Despite their importance in Particle Physics, there has not been a lot of activity in the search of viable UV completions. In this master project we propose to study the UV completions already present in the literature, trying to identify the general properties that UV complete and phenomenologically viable Composite Higgs Models must satisfy.
