Imprints of Composite Higgs Models at e+e- Colliders

Abstract

We test the sensitivity of a future e+e- collider to composite Higgs scenarios encompassing partial compositeness. Besides the detailed study of the Higgs properties, such a machine will have a rich top-quark physics programme mainly in two domains: top property accurate determination at the $t \bar t$ production threshold and search for New Physics with top quarks above it. In both domains, a composite Higgs scenario can manifest itself via sizable deviations in both cross-section and asymmetry observables. Herein we discuss such a possibility using a particular realisation, namely the 4-Dimensional Composite Higgs Model.
