Abstract

We analyze a composite Higgs model based on the confining SU(3) gauge theory with Nf = 8 Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. This gauge theory has been studied on the lattice and shown to be well described by a dilaton effective field theory (EFT). Here we modify the EFT by assigning s...
