Abstract: Composite Higgs theories are a class of theories that replace the weak sector with an underlying strongly coupled sector, solving the Hierarchy problem. In this context, lattice gauge theory is useful for providing phenomenological predictions for Composite Higgs theories because it can capture non-perturbative dynamics. In this talk, I want to give an overview of how to use lattice gauge theory for providing non-perturbative phenomenological results and show such results for an SU(2) gauge theory with two flavors in the fundamental representation. We chose this model because, in terms of the number of colors and flavors, this model is the minimal candidate that preserves a custodial symmetry necessary to fix the rho-parameter in the replaced weak sector.
