A light pseudo-scalar that is copiously produced at the LHC may still be allowed by present searches. While masses above 65 GeV are effectively covered by di-photon searches, the lower mass window can be tested by a new search for boosted di-tau resonances. We test this strategy on a set of composite Higgs models with top partial compositeness, where most models can be probed with an integrated luminosity below 300 fb$^{-1}$.

  1. Search for Lorentz-boosted di-$\tau$ resonances produced in association with top quark pairs in $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5

    No excess is seen; ATLAS sets a 0.19 fb model-independent visible cross-section limit and 2HDM σ×BR limits of 0.4–0.05 pb for ma = 20–85 GeV using boosted di-τ reconstruction.

  2. Composite top partners in exotic colour representations

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.
