Abstract
Composite Higgs models can be extended to the Planck scale by means of the partially unified partial compositeness (PUPC) framework. We present in detail the Techni-Pati-Salam model, based on a renormalizable gauge theory . We demonstrate that masses and mixings for all generations of standard model fermions can be obtained via partial compositeness at low energy, with four-fermion operators mediated by either heavy gauge bosons or scalars. The strong dynamics is predicted to be that of a confining gauge group, with hyperfermions in the fundamental and two-index antisymmetric representations, with fixed multiplicities. This is motivation for lattice studies of the infrared near-conformal walking phase, with results that may validate or rule out the model. This is the first complete and realistic attempt at providing an ultraviolet completion for composite Higgs models with top partial compositeness. In the baryon-number conserving vacuum, the theory also predicts a dark matter candidate, with a mass in the few TeV range, protected by semi-integer baryon number.
