Large field excursions and approximate discrete symmetries from a clockwork axion

Riccardo Rattazzi

We present a renormalizable theory of scalars in which the low-energy effective theory contains a pseudo-Goldstone boson with a compact field space of 2 pi F and an approximate discrete shift symmetry Z(Q) with Q >> 1, yet the number of fields in the theor ...

The composite twin Higgs scenario

Riccardo Rattazzi, Andrea Wulzer, Davide Greco

Based on an explicit model, we propose and discuss the generic features of a possible implementation of the Twin Higgs program in the context of composite Higgs models. We find that the Twin Higgs quadratic divergence cancellation argument can be uplifted ...

Zoology of condensed matter: framids, ordinary stuff, extra-ordinary stuff

Riccardo Rattazzi

We classify condensed matter systems in terms of the spacetime symmetries they spontaneously break. In particular, we characterize condensed matter itself as any state in a Poincare-invariant theory that spontaneously breaks Lorentz boosts while preserving ...

Strong Higgs interactions at a linear collider

Riccardo Rattazzi, Duccio Pappadopulo, Roberto Contino, Andrea Thamm

We study the impact of Higgs precision measurements at a high-energy and high-luminosity linear electron positron collider, such as CLIC or the ILC, on the parameter space of a strongly interacting Higgs boson. Some combination of anomalous couplings are a ...

The local Callan-Symanzik equation: structure and applications

Riccardo Rattazzi, Boaz Keren Zur, Lorenzo Vitale, Florent Baume

The local Callan-Symanzik equation describes the response of a quantum field theory to local scale transformations in the presence of background sources. The consistency conditions associated with this anomalous equation imply non-trivial relations among t ...

The alpha-theorem and the asymptotics of 4D quantum field theory

Riccardo Rattazzi

We study the possible IR and UV asymptotics of 4D Lorentz invariant unitary quantum field theory. Our main tool is a generalization of the Komargodski-Schwimmer proof for the alpha-theorem. We use this to rule out a large class of renormalization group flo ...

A first top partner hunter's guide

Riccardo Rattazzi, Andrea Wulzer, Andrea De Simone

We provide a systematic effective lagrangian description of the phenomenology of the lightest top-partners in composite Higgs models. Our construction is based on symmetry, on selection rules and on plausible dynamical assumptions. The structure of the res ...

A naturally light dilaton

Riccardo Rattazzi, Duccio Pappadopulo, Paolo Lodone, Lorenzo Vitale

Goldstone's theorem does not apply straightforwardly to the case of spontaneously broken scale invariance. We elucidate under what conditions a light scalar degree of freedom, identifiable with the dilaton, can naturally arise. Our construction can be cons ...

Implications of LHCb measurements and future prospects

Riccardo Rattazzi, Abhisek Datta, Anton Petrov

During 2011 the LHCb experiment at CERN collected 1.0 fb(-1) of root s = 7 TeV pp collisions. Due to the large heavy quark production cross-sections, these data provide unprecedented samples of heavy flavoured hadrons. The first results from LHCb have made ...

On Partial Compositeness and the CP asymmetry in charm decays

Riccardo Rattazzi, Duccio Pappadopulo, Luca Vecchi, Paolo Lodone, Boaz Keren Zur

Recently, the LHCb and CDF Collaborations reported the measure of an unexpectedly large direct CP asymmetry in D meson decays. In this paper we ask if new physics associated with Partial Compositeness could plausibly explain this result. We find that Compo ...
