Abstract
We introduce a novel composite Higgs theory based on con ning supersymmetric
QCD. Supersymmetric duality plays a key role in this construction, with a "fat"
Higgs boson emerging as a dual magnetic degree of freedom charged under the dual magnetic
gauge group. Due to spontaneous color-
avor locking in the infrared, the electroweak
gauge symmetry is aligned with the dual magnetic gauge group, allowing large Yukawa couplings
between elementary matter elds and the composite Higgs. At the same time, this
theory exhibits metastable supersymmetry breaking, leading to low-scale gauge mediation
via composite messengers. The Higgs boson is heavier than in minimal supersymmetric
theories, due to non-decoupling D-terms and a large F-term quartic coupling. This theory
predicts quasi-stable TeV-scale pseudo-modulini, some of which are charged under standard
model color, possibly giving rise to long-lived R-hadrons at the LHC.
