Description
The nature of electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs bosons are likely paths to physics beyond the standard model. Neutral naturalness, symmetry based constructions for addressing the electroweak hierarchy problem/puzzle, have garnered increasing interest as LHC bounds on new colored states have increased. These models often predict new electroweak states along with a rich Higgs sector. I provide an overview of ways an HTE factory can explore these scenarios including the direct production of new states and exotic Higgs decays.
