Description
Direct and indirect measurements of New Physics are highly complementary. In this talk, I will focus on direct resonance searches and indirect information from the measurements of the Higgs boson couplings in order to estimate the reach of the 14 TeV LHC and future hadronic and leptonic colliders in the parameter space of the minimal composite Higgs model. The reach on electroweak charged spin-one resonances, taken as representative direct signatures, is obtained from the current 8 TeV LHC limits by an extrapolation procedure which I will outline. I will furthermore discuss the impact of electroweak precision tests and their possible improvement at future colliders.
