Higgs boson as a top-mode pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson

Higgs boson as a top-mode pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson

In the spirit of the top-quark condensation, we propose a model which has a naturally light composite Higgs boson, ``tHiggs'' (${h}_{t}^{0}$), to be identified with the 126 GeV Higgs discovered at the LHC. The tHiggs, a bound state of the top quark and its flavor (vectorlike) partner, emerges as a …
