We present a class of composite Higgs models arising from a warped extra dimension that can satisfy all the electroweak precision tests in a significant portion of their parameter space. A custodial symmetry plays a crucial role in keeping the largest corrections to the electroweak observables below their experimental limits. In these models the heaviness of the top quark is not only essential to trigger the electroweak symmetry breaking, but it also implies that the lowest top resonance and its custodial partners, the custodians, are significantly lighter than the other resonances. These custodians are the trademark of these scenarios. They are exotic colored fermions of electromagnetic charges 5/3, 2/3 and -1/3, with masses predicted roughly in the range 500-1500 GeV. We discuss their production and detection at the LHC.

  1. Vector-like quarks with non-renormalizable interactions

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Dropping renormalizability in effective theories of vector-like quarks opens five new multiplet types whose widths can be so suppressed that the quarks become long-lived R-hadrons at the LHC.

  2. Neutrino Dipole Moments and Radiative Signatures from Partial Compositeness

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Partial compositeness with inverse seesaw yields neutrino dipole moments of 10^{-6} to 10^{-8} GeV^{-1} and predicts single- and multi-photon radiative signals at MiniBooNE and MINERvA.

  3. Meson spectroscopy in the $Sp(4)$ gauge theory with three antisymmetric fermions

    hep-lat 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Lattice simulations of Sp(4) with three antisymmetric Dirac fermions find QCD-like confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, and provide a first continuum-extrapolated meson spectrum.

  4. Electroweak phase transition with composite Higgs models: calculability, gravitational waves and collider searches

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A strong first-order electroweak phase transition is impossible in SO(6)/SO(5) composite Higgs models under the minimal Higgs potential hypothesis, and requires undetermined UV operator contributions, as shown in a 6+...

  5. Exotic decays of top partners: mind the search gap

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A top-partner search gap exists: for T -> t a with a -> gg, current LHC bounds drop from about 1.3 TeV to roughly 400-550 GeV.

  6. Search for single production of a vector-like B' quark decaying to a top quark and a W boson in the single-lepton final state in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    CMS excludes narrow-width singlet vector-like B' quarks with masses 0.8-1.23 TeV in the tW channel using neural-network tagging and data-driven background modeling.

  7. Catalog of electroweak scalar manifolds

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The scalar field space of the minimal electroweak Higgs sector, assuming the usual 3-sphere vacuum, is one of exactly 11 possible manifolds, each with its own fixed points and topological-defect spectrum.

  8. Higgs pair production in gluon fusion to higher orders in Higgs Effective Field Theory

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Consistent NLO power counting in HEFT for di-Higgs gluon fusion requires higher-dimensional operators beyond leading order, affecting kinematic benchmarks used in experiments.

  9. The Art of Counting: a reappraisal of the HEFT expansion

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    HEFT admits two consistent power counting schemes, one with a single low-energy scale v and one with two scales v < f, each allowing systematic truncation of operators and amplitudes for any normalization choice.

  10. The Radial Mode of Composite Higgs Theories at the LHC

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 4.5 of 10

    LHC Run-2 data exclude the composite-Higgs radial mode below 0.93–1.13 TeV (2σ); HL-LHC can reach 1.8–2.2 TeV, while the twin-Higgs radial mode is projected to 1.2 TeV.
