Description
Abstract: Little Higgs Models provide an alternative to the well-known paradigm of supersymmetry for solving the (little) hierarchy problem. They were developped out of the context of both extra-dimensional models as well as strongly-interacting technicolor models. The Higgs boson remains with respect to the TeV scale light because it is a pseudo-Goldstone boson of new global symmetries that are collectively broken. I will explain the concepts and mechanism of Little Higgs models, there different realizations as well as there possible detection and discrimination at the LHC and future lepton collider experiments.
