Abstract
Twin Higgs models have the potential to explain phenomena outside of the Standard Model and provide an natural explanation of the Higgs mass. Here I explore a new realization of the twin Higgs concept with an SU(4)c symmetry that is spontaneously broken in the Standard Model sector, but remains unbroken in the Twin sector. I detail the phenomenological results produced by this model. I show that this construction leads to a qualitatively new behavior regarding the fine-tuning of the Higgs mass due to the top-quark sector.
