Description
In this talk I present an analysis of flavour and EWPT constraints imposed on Composite Higgs models with a flavour-symmetric strong sector. The key feature of this analysis is the use of the effective field theory which describes the Higgs as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson. I will show how the implications of the the Goldstone symmetry can relax the experimental constraints and point at the most promising directions to search for the manifestations of the Higgs compositeness.
