Pacific 2019 @ Moorea 2019 Sep 3 (Aug 31- Sep 6) Hierarchy Problem: Implication to Cosmology (Supercooled universe) and Implication from Superstrings (Revolving D-branes)
Satoshi Iso (KEK & Sokendai)
1 Hierarchy problem = Dynamics of EWSB and its Stability
How EWSB occurs dynamically ? Who ordered the Higgs potential ? Why Higgs VEV
Cosmology early universe Particle physics DM, baryogenesis (LHC, ILC, …) Hierarchy TeV or beyond ? Problem Superstring unification Geometry of SM String threshold corrections
2 Today’s talk
More about Hierarchy problem and classically conformal model
[2] Implication to cosmology (the early universe) : Supercooled universe
[3] Implication from superstrings : String threshold corrections
3 Rough picture of the Higgs potential: (at least) 3 important points
Higgs potential
3 Energy scale 1 2 1 Higgs VEV v= 246 GeV à Particle physics (present universe) 2 UV scale e.g. MPlanck à Quantum Gravity, String 3 h=0 (origin) à Cosmology (early universe)
All regions (1, 2, 3) are related by RG and theoretical biases.
4 2 important lessons from LHC (1) mass = 125 GeV "EW" physics may be directly related to Planck scale physics without intermediate scales in between. (2) No deviations from SM / no TeV SUSY?
New paradigm à classical conformality (CC)
EWSB occurs, NOT by (classical) Higgs potential V(h) but by radiative corrections to it. Coleman-Weinberg mechanism
5 For the classical conformal idea to the hierarchy problem two conditions are necessary
1. No intermediate scales = EW directly connected to Planck. 2. String threshold corrections are controllable. (or Planck scale does not destabilize Higgs potential.)
The first condition is suggested by Higgs mass 125 GeV.
The second condition needs something more. I will show one example of non-SUSY vacua in superstring that satisfies the second condition.
6 An example of a bottom-up model of CC An additional sector to the SM is inevitably needed. Within SM, CW mechanism predicted Higgs mass lighter than 10 GeV.
Okada, Orikasa, SI (09) A phenomenologically viable minimal extension will be also Lindner et.al. (10) (B-L)-extension of SM
IR physics B-L sector @ TeV UV physics Standard U(1)B-L gauge Planck scale Model + SM singlet scalar V(h)=0 Right-handed ν No intermediate scales
(1) B-L breaking by CW mechanism à triggers EWSB at 100 GeV Everything occurs radiatively. (2) Minimal extension of SM & Phenomenologically viable All new particles are predicted to be around EW - TeV 7 [1] Implication to Cosmology
