We consider scenarios in which the 125 GeV resonance observed at the Large
Hadron Collider is a Technicolor (TC) isosinglet scalar, the TC Higgs. By
comparison with quantum chromodynamics, we argue that the couplings of the TC
Higgs to the massive weak bosons are very close to the Standard Model (SM)
values. The couplings to photons and gluons are model-dependent, but close to
the SM values in several TC theories. The couplings of the TC Higgs to SM
fermions are due to interactions beyond TC, such as Extended Technicolor: if
such interactions successfully generate mass for the SM fermions, we argue that
the couplings of the latter to the TC Higgs are also SM-like.
We suggest a generic parameterization of the TC Higgs interactions with SM
particles that accommodates a large class of TC models, and we perform a fit of
these parameters to the Higgs LHC data. The fit reveals regions of parameter
space where the form factors are of order unity and consistent with data at the
95% CL, in agreement with expectations in TC theories. This indicates that the
discovered Higgs boson is consistent with the TC Higgs hypothesis for several
TC theories.Comment: 26 pages, 8 figure
