Abstract

Motivated by the absence of signals of new physics at the LHC, which seems to imply the presenceof large mass hierarchies, we investigate the theoretical possibility that these could arise dynamicallyin new strongly-coupled gauge theories extending the standard model of particle physics.To this purp...
