Abstract
We provide a self-contained introduction to the essential aspects of non-supersymmetric beyond the standard model (BSM). After a detailed review of the physical meaning of the hierarchy problem, we introduce the key ingredients of the physics of Goldstone bosons necessary for many non-supersymmetric new physics models. Next, we discuss the concept of collective symmetry breaking and present the main elements leading to little Higgs/composite Higgs models. We then turn to extra dimensional theories. After covering some of the basics of extra dimensional physics, we describe warped extra dimensions and explain how the AdS/CFT correspondence leads to realistic RS models and the holographic minimal composite Higgs model.
