Composite Higgs
models can trivially satisfy precision-electroweak and flavour
constraints by simply having a large spontaneous symmetry breaking
scale, f > 10 TeV. This produces a 'split' spectrum, where the strong
sector resonances have masses greater than 10 TeV and are separated
from the pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons, which remain near the
electroweak scale. Even though a tuning of order 10^{-4} is required to
obtain the observed Higgs boson mass, the big hierarchy problem remains
mostly solved. Intriguingly, models with a fully-composite right-handed
top quark also exhibit improved gauge coupling unification. By
restricting ourselves to models which preserve these features we find
that the symmetry breaking scale cannot be arbitrarily raised, leading
to an upper bound f < 100-1000 TeV. Dark matter is identified with a
pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson, and we show that the smallest coset space
containing a stable, scalar singlet and an unbroken SU(5) symmetry is
SU(7) / SU(6) x U(1). The colour-triplet pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson
also contained in this coset space is metastable due to a residual
symmetry. We show that existing searches for collider-stable R-hadrons
from Run-I at the LHC forbid a triplet scalar mass below 845 GeV,
whereas with 300fb−1 at 13 TeV triplet scalar masses up to 1.4 TeV can be discovered. For shorter lifetimes displaced-vertex searches provide a discovery reach of up to 1.8
TeV. In addition we present exclusion and discovery reaches of future
hadron colliders as well as indirect limits that arise from
modifications of the Higgs couplings.
