Exotic decays of top partners in new bosons are the norm in realistic models of a composite Higgs. We focus on the custodial charge-$5/3$ partner, which normally decays exclusively into $tW^+$. The new channels include a colour-sextet, $X_{5/3} \to \bar{b} \pi_6$, as well as singly and doubly charged scalars, $X_{5/3} \to t \phi^+$, $b \phi^{++}$. We use existing same-sign lepton searches to show that the new final states are constrained at the same level as the standard one. At the same time, exotic final states also offer opportunities for improvement: examples include a hard photon in $X_{5/3}\rightarrow t\phi^+\rightarrow tW^+\gamma$ decays, and top-rich channels which arise in several exotic $X_{5/3}$ decays.

    Colour-sextet top partners in composite Higgs models are excluded up to 2-2.5 TeV by current LHC data via top-rich decays, with HL-LHC reach near 3 TeV.

    In the SU(6)/Sp(6) composite Higgs model with a scotogenic Z2, three of four neutral pseudo-Goldstone dark matter candidates can reproduce the observed relic density, while the SU(2)L triplet candidate fails; spin-1 r...

    Collider analysis shows the 2τ + 2b + MET channel can probe vector-like top partners up to 1.9 TeV in 2HDM scenarios at HL-LHC.

    Composite Higgs models with SU(2)_L × SU(2)_R predict spin-1 resonances mixing with electroweak bosons that remain viable at the LHC down to masses of about 1.5 TeV.
