In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (the MSSM), the electroweak symmetry is restored as supersymmetry-breaking terms are turned off. We describe a generic extension of the MSSM where the electroweak symmetry is broken in the…
I discuss standard motivation for the new physics at the 1 TeV scale. Although the arguments for new exotic phenomena seem to be very supportive I argue that the Standard Model still might offer a good description far beyond this energy…
The electroweak symmetry may be broken by a composite Higgs which arises naturally as a bound state of the top quark if the standard model gauge fields and fermions propagate in extra dimenions. The top quark mass and the Higgs mass can be…
We discuss the Higgs mass and cosmological constant in the context of an emergent Standard Model, where the gauge symmetries "dissolve" in the extreme ultraviolet. In this scenario the cosmological constant scale is suppressed by power of…
Depending on the value of the Higgs mass, the Standard Model acquires an unstable region at large Higgs field values due to RG running of couplings, which we evaluate at 2-loop order. For currently favored values of the Higgs mass, this…
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations discovered a new boson particle. If the new boson is the Higgs boson, the diphoton signal strength is 1.5 - 1.8 times larger than the Standard Model (SM) prediction, while the WW and ZZ signal strengths are…
We present an update of the Standard Model fit to electroweak precision data. We include newest experimental results on the top quark mass, the W mass and width, and the Higgs boson mass bounds from LEP, Tevatron and the LHC. We also…
Basing on new regularization-renormalization method, the $\lambda\phi^4$ model used in standard model is studied both perturbatively and nonperturbatively (by Gaussian effective potential). The invariant property of two mass scales is…
We study the finite-temperature effective potential of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in the limit of only one light Higgs boson. Because of the large top Yukawa coupling, there can be significant differences with respect to the…
We present a new solution to the electroweak hierarchy problem. We introduce $N$ copies of the Standard Model with varying values of the Higgs mass parameter. This generically yields a sector whose weak scale is parametrically removed from…
The existing constraints from particle colliders reveal a suspicious but nonlethal metastability for our current electroweak vacuum of Higgs potential in the standard model of particle physics, which is, however, disfavored in the early…
It is shown that the effective Standard Model theory with the physical Higgs mass lighter than $\sim 200$ GeV takes the form of an unbroken electroweak theory already at moderately high, $O(1 TeV)$, energy scales. No such transitional scale…
Recently, the ATLAS and CMS detectors have discovered a bosonic particle which, to a reasonable degree of statistical uncertainty, fits the profile of the Standard Model Higgs. One obvious implication is that models which predict a…
Extending previous results [JHEP 11 (2021) 091], we explore aspects of the reheating mechanism for non-minimal Higgs inflation in the strong coupling regime. We constrain the radiative corrections for the inflaton's potential by considering…
We analyze the constraints imposed by Higgs vacuum stability on models with new fermions beyond the Standard Model. We focus on the phenomenology of Higgs couplings accessible at the Large Hadron Collider. New fermions that affect Higgs…
In this article the stability of the Standard Model (SM) vacuum in the presence of radiative corrections and for a Higgs boson with a mass in the vicinity of 125 GeV is discussed. The central piece in this discussion will be the Higgs…
We study different types of Two Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs) under the assumption that all quartic couplings' beta functions vanish simultaneously at the Planck scale. The Standard Model seems to display this property almost accidentally,…
It is shown by explicit calculation that the one-loop mass renormalization of the Higgs boson in the standard model is gauge-independent. It could even be rendered finite if the following mass relationships were satisfied: $m_t^2 \simeq…
We investigate the stability of the electroweak vacuum during and after inflation by taking into account the effects of classical gravity in the quantum dynamics. In particular we show that the possible instability may be avoided without…
We derive the decay rate of an unstable phase of a quantum field theory in the presence of an impurity in the thin-wall approximation. This derivation is based on the how the impurity changes the (flat spacetime) geometry relative to case…
