چکیده

Abstract: We present a new Little Higgs model, motivated by the deconstruction of a five-dimensional gauge-Higgs model. The approximate global symmetry is SO(5)0×SO(5)1, breaking to SO(5), with a gauged subgroup of [SU(2)0L × U(1)0R] × O(4)1, breaking to SU(2)L×U(1)Y . Radiative corrections produce an additional small vacuum misalignment, breaking the electroweak symmetry down to U(1)EM. Novel features of this model are: the only un-eaten pseudo-Goldstone boson in the effective theory is the Higgs boson; the model contains a custodial symmetry, which ensures that T̂ = 0 at tree-level; and the potential for the Higgs boson is generated entirely through one-loop radiative corrections. A small negative mass-squared in the Higgs potential is obtained by a cancellation between the contribution of two heavy partners of the top quark, which is readily achieved over much of the parameter space. We can then obtain both a vacuum expectation value of v = 246GeV and a light Higgs boson mass, which is strongly correlated with the masses of the two heavy top quark partners. For a scale of the global symmetry breaking of f = 1TeV and using a single cutoff for the fermion loops, the Higgs boson mass satisfies 120GeV . MH . 150GeV over much of the range of parameter space. For f raised to 10TeV, these values increase by about 40GeV. Effects at the ultraviolet cutoff scale may also raise the predicted values of the Higgs boson mass, but the model still favors MH . 200GeV.

Supersymmetric Higgs and Radiative Electroweak Breaking

We review the mechanism of radiative electroweak symmetry breaking taking place in SUSY versions of the standard model. We further discuss different proposals for the origin of SUSY-breaking and the corresponding induced SUSY-breaking soft terms. Several proposals for the understanding of the little hierarchy problem are critically discussed.

Consequences of Leading-Logarithm Summation for the Radiative Breakdown of Standard-Model Electroweak Symmetry

In the empirically sensible limit in which QCD, t-quark Yukawa, and scalar-fieldinteraction coupling constants dominate all other Standard-Model coupling constants, we sum all leading-logarithm terms within the perturbative expansion for the effective potential that contribute to the extraction of the Higgs boson mass via radiative electroweak symmetry breaking. A Higgs boson mass of 216 GeV em...

Is radiative electroweak symmetry breaking consistent with a 125 GeV Higgs mass?

The mechanism of radiative electroweak symmetry breaking occurs through loop corrections, and unlike conventional symmetry breaking where the Higgs mass is a parameter, the radiatively generated Higgs mass is dynamically predicted. Padé approximations and an averaging method are developed to extend the Higgs mass predictions in radiative electroweak symmetry breaking from five- to nine-loop ord...

Constraints on Little Higgs with Fully-Radiative Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

Abstract In a recent paper, we introduced a new Little Higgs model, which contains the gauge structure SU(2)3 × U(1), embedded in an approximate global SO(5) × SO(5) symmetry. After breaking to the standard model, SU(2)L × U(1)Y , this produces two heavy Z ′ bosons and two heavy W ′± bosons, along with a single Standard Model-like Higgs scalar. The unique feature of the model was that it was po...

Startling Equivalences in the Higgs-goldstone Sector between Radiative and Lowest-order Conventional Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

In the conventional single-Higgs doublet Standard Model Lagrangian, a scalar field mass term within a unification context would necessarily be subject to GUTscale radiative corrections which would require fine-tuning for the Higgs mass to remain within its present indirect-measurement bounds. One of the ways to address this problem is to assume that the electroweak Lagrangian is protected from ...
