Description
The nature of the 126 GeV Higgs recently discovered at CERN has not been established yet. One intriguing possibility is that it may arise as a light composite state from a confining dynamics at the TeV scale. I will review the recent progress in understanding the dynamics that may be behind this mechanism, focusing on what we can learn by knowing its details. The masses of the spin-1 resonances can in fact be extracted from lattice calculations thus providing an estimate of the mass scale of new states. Furthermore, a lot can be learned about the physics of eventual top partners.
