Comparing electroweak data with a decoupling model

Present data, both from direct Higgs search and from analysis of electroweak data, are starting to become rather restrictive on the possible values for the mass of the standard model Higgs. We discuss a new physics scenario based on a model with decoupling (both in a linear and in a non-linear version) showing how it allows for an excellent fit to the present values of the ϵ parameters and how it widens the allowed ranges for the Higgs mass (thought as elementary in the linear version, or as composite in the non-linear one).
