I give an elementary introduction to the study of gauge theories coupled to fermions with many degrees of freedom. Besides their intrinsic interest, these theories are candidates for non-perturbative extensions of the Higgs sector of the standard model. While related to quantum chromodynamics, these systems can exhibit very different behaviour from it: they can possess a running gauge coupling with an infrared-attractive fixed point. I briefly survey recent lattice work in this area.

“…Technicolor [13], instead, hides electroweak symmetry and generate masses for the W and Z bosons through the dynamics of new gauge interactions. Although asymptotically free at very high energies, these interactions must become strong and confining (and hence unobservable) at the lower energies that have been experimentally probed.…”

With the discovery of the Higgs boson the LHC experiments have closed the most important gap in our understanding of fundamental interactions. We now know that the interactions between elementary particles can be described by quantum field theory, more specifically by a renormalizable gauge theory. This theory is valid to arbitrarily high energy scales and do not require an ultraviolet completion. In these notes I cover three aspects to help understand LHC results in the Higgs sector and in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model: many facets of Higgs physics, QCD as it is relevant for LHC measurements, and standard phenomenological background knowledge. The lectures should put young graduate students into a position to really follow advanced writeups and first research papers. In that sense they can serve as a starting point for a research project in LHC physics. With this new, significantly expanded version I am confident that also some more senior colleagues will find them useful and interesting.
