Research Abstract	The standard model of elementary particles (SM) has been very successful so far. However, Higgs boson, whose existence is predicted in the SM, has not been discovered yet. Furthermore, there are problems in the Higgs sector of the SM. Little Higgs models have been proposed to solve the problems in the SM, and therefore, they are interesting candidates of physics beyond the SM. In this research, we studied little Higgs model to find out how one can discover particles that are predicted in the little Higgs model, and how one can measure the masses and couplings of these particles at the Large Hadron Collider.
