Dynamical generation of the weak and Dark Matter scale

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-10-02 v1

Abstract

Assuming that naturalness should be modified by ignoring quadratic divergences, we propose a simple extension of the Standard Model where the weak scale is dynamically generated together with an automatically stable vector. Identifying it as thermal Dark Matter, the model has one free parameter. It predicts one extra scalar, detectable at colliders, which triggers a first-order dark/electroweak cosmological phase transition with production of gravitational waves. Vacuum stability holds up to the Planck scale.
