Asymptotic Safety in the Conformal Hidden Sector?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-08-02 v4

Abstract

We combine the notion of asymptotic safety (AS) with conformal invariance in a hidden sector beyond the Standard Model. We use the renormalization group (RG) equations as a bridge to connect UV boundary conditions and EW/TeV scale physics and furnish a detailed example in the context of a leptophobic U(1)U(1)' model. A broad selection of UV boundary conditions are formulated corresponding to differing AS scenarios, and we find an AS scenario with very strong predictive power, allowing unique determination of most of the parameters in the model. We obtain the interrelationships among the couplings, the transition scale of the fixed point MUVM_{UV} and the generations of quarks coupled to the ZZ', and especially the correlation between MUVM_{UV} and the top quark Yukawa coupling YtY_t. Several phenomenological implications of our results are presented for selected ZZ' masses.
