Electroweak precision tests for asymptotic Grand Unification models

Asymptotic grand unification is an alternative framework to traditional quantitative unification, as the renormalisation flow leads towards an ultra-violet safe fixed point. Phenomenologically, 5-dimensional realisations permit new particles with masses as low as the TeV scale, well below the usual unification scale. We explore the impact of such models on electroweak precision observables, focusing on a minimal SU(5) template for concreteness. We show that current measurements are not sensitive to this class of models. Future colliders, such as CEPC and FCC-ee, can push the 95% limit on the Kaluza-Klein mass up to 2 and 4 TeV, respectively, beyond the direct reach of the LHC programme.

Electroweak spin-1 resonances in Composite Higgs models

Composite Higgs models predict the existence of various bound states. Among these are spin-1 resonances. We investigate models containing $\text{SU(2)}_L\times \text{SU(2)}_R$ as part of the unbroken subgroup in the new strong sector. These models predict that there are two neutral and one charged spin-1 resonances mixing sizably with the SM vector bosons. As a consequence, these can be singly produced in Drell-Yan processes at the LHC. We explore their rich LHC phenomenology and show that there are still viable scenarios consistent with existing LHC data where the masses of these states can be as low as about 1.5 TeV.
