Third-family quark-lepton unification with a composite Higgs
Javier Fuentes-Martin (JGU Mainz)

In this talk, I will present a model for third-family quark-lepton unification at the TeV scale featuring a composite Higgs sector. The model is based on a variant of the Pati-Salam model, the so-called 4321 model. The spontaneous symmetry breaking to the SM gauge group is triggered dynamically by a QCD-like confining sector. The same strong dynamics also produces a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson Higgs, connecting the energy scales of both sectors. The model predicts a massive U1 vector leptoquark coupled dominantly to the third generation, recently put forward as a possible solution to the B-meson anomalies.
