The Higgs – A composite scalar meson? Paradigm: Nambu—Jona-Lasinio model → sigma model [Klevansky (1992) RMP 64] Hubbard-Strat. Bosonization Reproduces the sigma-model Lagrangian [Eguchi (1976) PRD 14, 2755] NJL model for Higgs as tt bound state [Bardeen, Hill, Lindner (1990) PRD 41, 1647] David Blaschke IFT Seminar, Uni Wroclaw, 26.10.2012 7/16

Summary - Candidate for Higgs boson (Higgson) found at CERN-LHC (ATLAS, CMS) with a mass between 125 – 127 GeV/c2 - Question about its nature: fundamental or composite? - Minimal Walking Technicolor models with one extra family of TC quarks (and extra leptons) and SU(2) TC gluons predicts a composite Higgs in the right mass range - Testable predictions for new TC axialvector bosons at LHC - New era for nonperturbative strong dynamics !
