Gauge theories of partial compositeness

We present a class of gauge theories in which the Higgs boson arises as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) and top-partners arise as bound states of three hyperfermions. All models have additional pNGBs in their spectrum that could be accessible at LHC. We discuss the experimental signatures that can be expected from these models, concentrating on those that are common to all models in this class, namely those arising from a color octet and two "axion-like" pseudoscalars. Time permitting, we also discuss how the Lattice/Bootstrap can help answering some of the questions about their strong coupling dynamics.
