"The Lonely Higgs"

This event is part of the HET Seminar Series.

In this talk I will describe how two of the most popular solutions to the hierarchy problem can work together to evade LHC bounds on new colored particles without additional fine-tuning. A supersymmetric pseudo-Goldstone Higgs can be naturally light relative to Standard Model superpartners while still exhibiting Standard Model-like couplings. Meanwhile, heavy Higgsinos reduce the missing energy from superpartner decays, weakening constraints.
