Event Description
Composite spin-1 resonances are a universal feature of composite Higgs models. In this talk, I will discuss the phenomenology of such resonances at the LHC, motivated by the possible observation of a diboson resonance in the 8 TeV LHC data. Particular attention is paid to the role played by fermion partial compositeness which is an important component in composite Higgs models. I will address the viability of such resonances to account for the LHC excess and make projections for the discovery potential at the 13 TeV LHC.
