A Cosmological Lower Bound on the Higgs Boson Mass
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cosmological considerations imply that the Weinberg-Salam Higgs boson mass mH ) 9 GeV. If this bound were violated, the symmetry breaking phase transition would occur only after extreme supercooling, resulting in too high a ratio of entropy to baryon number.

Light pseudoscalar η and H → ηη decay in the simplest little Higgs mode
The SU(3) simplest little Higgs model in its original framework without the so-called μ term inevitably involves a massless pseudoscalar boson η, which is problematic for b -physics and cosmological axion limit. With the μ term introduced by hand, the η boson acquires mass mη ∼ μ, which can be lighter than half the Higgs boson mass in a large portion of the parameter space. In addition, the int...
متن کاملLower Higgs boson mass bounds from a chirally invariant lattice Higgs-Yukawa model with overlap fermions
We study the coupling parameter dependence of the Higgs boson mass in a chirally invariant lattice Higgs-Yukawa model emulating the same Yukawa coupling structure as in the Higgs-fermion sector of the Standard Model. Eventually, the aim is to establish non-perturbative upper and lower Higgs boson mass bounds derived from first principles, in particular not relying on vacuum stability considerat...
متن کاملOperator analysis for the Higgs potential and cosmological bound on the Higgs-boson mass.
Using effective field theory at finite temperature, we examine the impacts of new physics on the electroweak phase transition. By analysing the high dimensional operators relevent to the Higgs potential we point out that the Higgs mass bound obtained by avoiding the washout of the baryon asymmetry can be relaxed to the region allowed by experiments, provided that new physics appears at the TeV ...
متن کاملNaturalness Lowers the Upper Bound on the Lightest Higgs boson Mass in Supersymmetry
We quantify the extent to which naturalness is lost as experimental lower bounds on the Higgs boson mass increase, and we compute the natural upper bound on the lightest supersymmetric Higgs boson mass. We find that it would be unnatural for the mass of the lightest supersymmetric Higgs boson to saturate it’s maximal upper bound. In the absence of significant fine-tuning, the lightest Higgs bos...
متن کاملLep-wide Combination of the Search for the Standard Model Higgs Boson
A search for the standard model Higgs boson at LEP is reported. In the following, the results obtained by combining all standard model Higgs boson search channels of the experiments (at the end of run in the year 2000) are discussed. The data favour slightly a signal-andbackground hypothesis. The excess over the background would be consistent with the existence of a standard model Higgs boson a...
