A Natural Higgs with Extended Color

ORAL

Abstract

The extension of the Standard Model that I propose is motivated primarily by the hierarchy problem. The model expands the gauge group of quantum chromodynamics in an attempt to provide a viable model of dark matter and a reason for the unexpected nature of the Higgs vacuum expectation value. These changes introduce new fermion and boson fields to the Standard Model, as well as interesting new collider phenomenology.
