Spin-1 resonances

Spin-1 resonances are naturally present in composite Higgs frameworks. We first review a model independent approach to parameterize a single additional heavy triplet and then we consider more realistic models arising in composite Higgs scenarios where a larger number of spin-1 resonances is expected. In these cases, finite width and interference effects can heavily affect the bounds extracted from the data.

Automated summary

Spin-1 resonances are naturally present in composite Higgs frameworks. This paper discusses how to parameterize a single additional heavy triplet model independently, before moving on to more realistic models with a larger number of spin-1 resonances. In these cases, finite width and interference effects can heavily impact the bounds extracted from the data.
