Discovering Strong Top Dynamics at the LHC    [PDF]

We analyze the phenomenology of the top-pion and top-Higgs states in models with strong top dynamics, and translate the present LHC constraints on the SM Higgs into bounds on these scalar states. We then present the discovery prospects for top-pions and top-Higgs at the LHC in the available parameter space by doing a detailed signal/background analysis. We explore the possibility that the potential Higgs signal at a mass of approximately 125 GeV observed at the LHC is consistent with a neutral pseudoscalar top-pion state.
