3 1. Motivation The discovery of the 125 GeV Higgs boson and no sign of low-energy supersymmetry (or any other mainstream new physics) is an invitation to go back to the drawing board. I will advocate a possibility of a very different BSM model building paradigm based on: a minimally extended Standard Model with classical scale-invariance (for effective naturalness) Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

4 Beyond the Standard Model - in a minimal way The LHC Higgs discovery is the crowning achievement of the SM. At a more fundamental level it leaves key questions unanswered: It accommodates v = 246 GeV and m h 125 GeV essentially as input parameters, but the SM does not explain the origin and smallness of the EWSB scale {v, m h } M Pl The SM Higgs potential is unstable The Generation of the matter-anti-matter asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) is impossible within the SM There is no Dark Matter in the SM Particle physics implementation of Cosmological Inflation? Strong CP, etc...? Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

5 2. The rational for a heretical approach to model building based on classical scale invariance 1. There is just a single occurrence of a non-dynamical scale in the Standard Model the negative-valued µ 2 SM parameter in: Vcl SM (H) = µ 2 SM H H + λ H 2 ( ) 2 H H Remove µ 2 SM by introducing a Higgs portal interaction with new φ: V cl (H, φ) = λ P (H H) φ 2 + λ H 2 (H H) 2 + λ φ 4! φ 4 V cl is now scale-invariant. If the right value for φ M UV can be generated quantum mechanically, it will trigger the EWSB: µ 2 SM = λ P φ 2 = 1 2 m2 h = 1 2 λ H v 2 Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

6 2. The rational for classical scale invariance -continued- 2. Coleman-Weinberg mechanism 40 years ago: a massless scalar field φ coupled to a gauge field dynamically generates a non-trivial φ via dimensional transmutation of the log-running couplings [ φ M UV exp const ] g 2 M UV CW SM U(1) CW BSM theory g CW is the gauge coupling of φ. Classically scale-invariant with the Higgs portal λ P H 2 φ 2 φ is non-vanishing, calculable in a weakly-coupled theory, and is naturally small (exp. suppressed) relative to the UV cut-off. Then: EWSB : v = 2λP λ H φ, m h = 2λ P φ Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

7 2. The rational for classical scale invariance -continued- SM U(1) CW BSM theory Classically scale-invariant: No input mass terms are allowed! In the course of UV renormalisation, the subtraction scheme is chosen to set the renormalised masses at the origin of the field space to zero m 2 φ=0 := V (φ) = 0 φ=0 In dimensional regularisation this masslessness eqn is automatic: No power-like dependences on the cutoff scale can appear; Since there are no explicit mass scales at the outset, no finite corrections to mass terms at the origin are genereated. Dim reg preserves classical scale invariance, the theory as it stands is not fine-tuned. Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

8 Comments on classical scale-invariance: Classical scale invariance is not an exact symmetry. It is broken anomalously by logarithmically running couplings. This is precisely what generates dynamical scales φ M UV and feeds to EWSB and other features. The scale invariance is broken by the anomaly in a controlled way the order parameter is φ 2. Generic UV regularisation instead would introduce large effects α M 2 UV α M 2 UV φ 2 To maintain the anomalously broken scale invariance, one must choose a scale-invariance-preserving regularisation scheme dimensional regularisation Bardeen Valentin V.

9 2. The rational for classical scale invariance -continued- SM U(1) CW BSM theory Classically scale-invariant: No input mass terms are allowed! Summary: within scale-inv.-preserving dimensional regularisation, the masslessness conditions 2 V (H, φ) 2 V (H, φ) φ φ = 0, H=φ=0 H H = 0 H=φ=0 are self-consistent and contain no fine-tuning in the theory at hand. And, once enforced at one scale, they hold at all RG scales. SM U(1) CW classically scale-invariant BSM All mass scales in the theory must be generated dynamically Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

10 2. The rational for classical scale invariance -continued- 3. A powerful principle for the BSM model building. No vastly different scales can co-exist in such a theory: 1 Hard to generate a large hierarchy of scales from one φ 2 Large new mass scales would ultimately couple to the Higgs and destabilise it mass. The BSM theory is a minimal extension of the SM which should address all the sub-planckian shortcomings of the SM without introducing scales higher than φ which itself is not much higher the electroweak scale.

12 3. Higgs phenomenology The U(1) CW sector gives two new d.o.f s: the scalar φ and the Z boson m 2 ϕ The SM Higgs H T (x) = = 3g 4 CW 8π 2 φ 2 m 2 Z = g 2 CW φ (0, v + h(x)) and the hidden Higgs φ = φ + ϕ mix with each other via the portal interaction λ P(H H) φ 2 thanks to their vevs v and φ. The mass matrix is ( ) m 2 m 2 = h + mh,sm 2 κ mh 2 2λP κ mh 2 mϕ 2 + κ 2 mh 2, κ = λ H mh 2 = λ Hv 2, mh,sm 2 = 1 1 ( ) 6m 4 16π 2 v 2 W + 3mZ 4 + mh 2 24mt GeV 2 Diagonalise via ( ) ( ) ( ) h1 cos ϑ sin ϑ h mh 2 =, ϑ κ h 2 sin ϑ cos ϑ ϕ mϕ 2 mh 2 1. m2 h,sm C.

13 3. Higgs phenomenology -continued- If m h1 > 2m h2 the SM Higgs can decay into two hidden Higgses Γ h1 h 2 h 2 = 4λ2 Pv 2 [mh 2 1 4mh 2 2 ] 1/2 16π A similar equation holds for m h2 > 2m h1 with v 2 φ and m h1 m h2. In the simplest SM U(1) CW setup there are no light hidden sector particles into which the hidden Higgs can decay. The h 2 therefore decays back into SM particles via the mixing with the Higgs and its couplings to light particles, Γ h2 XX c m 2 h 1 = sin2 ϑ Γ SM h XX c (m h = m h2 ), σ(xy h 2) = sin 2 ϑ σ SM XY h(m h = m h2 ) Combining already quite small SM Higgs decay width, e.g. at m h 125 GeV, Γ SM 4 MeV with a small mixing angle, h 2 becomes an extremely narrow resonance.

Red region is excluded by current LHC measurements. The cyan region can be probed by HL LHC and orange region is a projection for a combination of a HL LHC with an LC. The allowed parameter points are depicted in green. Points below the black dash-dotted line require some fine-tuning. Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

15 3. Higgs phenomenology -summary- The minimal SM U(1) CW model has only two free remaining parameters, the portal coupling, λ P and the mass of the 2nd scalar eigenstate m h2 (can be traded for a much heavier Z ). We can see that the model is perfectly viable in the light of present and future experimental data: In particular, the presently available Higgs data constrains the portal coupling to be λ P 10 5 on the part of the parameter space where 10 4 GeV < m h2 < m h1 /2. For m h2 > m h1 /2 the coupling λ P is much less constrained experimentally, but has a theoretical upper limit λ P C. Englert, J. Jaeckel, V. V. Khoze and M. Spannowsky, Valentin V.

17 4. Stabilisation of the Higgs potential -continued- A minimal and robust way to repair the EW vacuum stability is provided by the Higgs portal extension of the SM just what we have in our theory. Two effects to stabilise the vacuum: 1 The portal coupling gives a positive contribution to the beta function of the Higgs quartic coupling, β λ +λ 2 P 2 The vev of the second scalar, φ > v, leading to mixing between φ and the Higgs and resulting in a threshold correction lifting the SM Higgs self-coupling O.

18 5. Leptogenesis With no signs of supersymmetry and no anomalies in the quark flavour sector, the most attractive scenario for generating BAU is Leptogenesis: Standard approach: Lepton asymmetry is generated by out-of-equilibrium decays of heavy sterile Majorana neutrinos into SM leptons at T much above the electroweak scale. The lepton asymmetry is then reprocessed into the baryon asymmetry by electroweak sphalerons. Requires extremely heavy masses for sterile neutrinos, M N 10 9 GeV. Inconsistent with the classical scale-invariance. We adopt an alternative approach to leptogenesis: the lepton flavour asymmetry is produced during oscillations of Majorana neutrinos with masses 200 MeV M N 500 GeV. Use the B-L model where Majorana masses of sterile neutrinos arise from the Coleman-Weinberg φ. Perfectly fits with the classical scale-invariance settings. V. V. Khoze and G. Ro, Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

19 5. Leptogenesis -continued- Identify the CW U(1) factor with the gauged B L flavour-subgroup of the Standard Model. S. Iso, N. Okada and Y. Orikasa, arxiv: The Z massive ( few TeV) vector boson now couples to quarks and leptons of the Standard Model proportionally to their B L charge. Cancellation of U(1) B L gauge anomalies requires an automatic inclusion of three generations of Majorana neutrinos, ν R i. They have B L = 1, but are sterile under the SM gauge groups. L ν R int = 1 ( Yij M φ νr c i 2 ν R j + Y M ij φ ν R i ν c R j ) Yia D ν R i (ɛh) l L a Y D ai l La (ɛh) ν R i Y M ij and Y D ia are 3 3 complex matrices of the Majorana and Dirac Yukawas. The CW scalar φ is assigned the B L charge = 2. Spontaneous breaking of the B L symmetry by the vev φ 0 generates Majorana masses of ν R M ij = Yij M φ Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

20 5. Leptogenesis via neutrino oscillations -continued- The right-handed neutrinos are produced thermally in the early Universe. After being produced, they begin to oscillate, ν R i ν R j, between the three different flavour states i, j = 1, 2, 3 in the expanding Universe. The lepton number of individual flavours is not conserved: complex non-diagonal Majorana matrices induce CP-violating flavour oscillations followed by out-of-equilibrium due to small of Yukawas decays ν R i ν R j l Lj H Require that by the time the temperature cools down to T EW, where electroweak sphaleron processes freeze out, only two out of three neutrino flavours equilibrate with their Standard Model counterparts Γ 2(T EW ) > H(T EW ), Γ 3(T EW ) > H(T EW ), Γ 1(T EW ) < H(T EW ) E.

25 6. Single-field slow-roll Inflation in the Higgs portal Inflation is the leading theory of the early universe. Was proposed in the 80s to solve the flatness, isotropy, homogeneity, horizon and relic problems in cosmology. Confirmed by observations, including the recent data from Planck satellite, which favour a simple inflationary scenario with one slow rolling scalar field. Relevant energy scales are far higher than can be probed at colliders, the underlying particle physics implementation of inflation is still unknown. Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

26 6. Inflation in the Higgs portal -continued- We will focus on the approach based on renormalisable QFT Lagrangians Include a non-minimal coupling of a scalar field to gravity, in addition to the usual Einstein-Hilbert term By taking the non-minimal coupling ξ to be (moderately) large 10 4, a slow-roll potential for the scalar is generated and inflation takes place Original approach based on non-minimal scalar-to-gravity coupling: D. S. Salopek, J. R. Bond and J. M. Bardeen, Phys. Rev. D 40 (1989) Higgs inflation proposal: F. L. Bezrukov and M. Shaposhnikov, Phys. Lett. B 659 (2008) 703 Valentin V.

27 6. Inflation in the Higgs portal -continued- V. V. Khoze, Start with the class. scalar potential of the SM coupled to the CW sector ( ) 2 V cl (H, φ) = λh H 2 λp φ 2 + λ φ 2 λ H 4! φ 4 Extend this model by adding a real scalar field s(x) a gauge singlet coupled only via the scalar portal interactions with the Higgs and φ, V cl (H, φ, s) = λ hs 2 H 2 s 2 + λ φs 4 φ 2 s 2 + λs 4 s4 + V cl (H, φ) which is the general renormalisable gauge-invariant scalar potential for the three massless scalars. Classically scale-invariant theory. λ hs 0 and λ φs 0 ensure that s = 0. No mixing with φ and the Higgs, instead the CW vev φ generates the mass for the singlet s(x) m 2 s = λ hs 2 v 2 + λ φss 2 φ 2 Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

28 6. Inflation in the Higgs portal -continued- Couple the theory to gravity L J = ( g J M2 2 R ξs 2 s2 R g µν J µs νs + g µν J (D µh) D νh g µν J (D µφ) D νφ λs 4 s4 λ hs 2 H 2 s 2 λ φs 4 φ 2 s 2 V (H, φ) 1 4 F µν F µν + Fermions + Yukawas ) M GeV denotes the reduced Planck mass; it appears only in the Einstein-Hilbert term and does not couple directly to non-gravitational d.o.f s. (ξ s/2) s 2 R is the non-minimal coupling of the singlet s(x) to gravity, R is the scalar curvature. For successful inflation ξ s should be relatively large, ξ s Hence we will treat ξ s and ξ s as large parameters 1. In this sense, s(x) is distinguished from the two other scalars, H and φ, which in our case have either vanishing or small loop-induced non-minimal gravitational couplings Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

29 6. Inflation in the Higgs portal -continued- Remove the non-minimal scalar to gravity interaction with a metric transformation to the Einstein frame: g µν Ω 2 g µν, Ω 2 := 1 + ξss2 M 2 L E = g E 1 2 M2 R + Ω2 + 6ξ 2 s s2 M 2 g µν E µs νs Ω ( λs Ω 4 4 s4 + λ hs 2 H 2 s 2 + λ ) φs 4 φ 2 s 2 + V (H, φ) + g µν E (DµH) D νh Ω Yukawas Ω 4 ) Now the kinetic term for s(x) is no longer normalised canonically; it includes a dimension-6 interaction (coming from the transformation of R): 6 ξ 2 s s2 M 2 g µν E µs νs 2 Ω2 M/ξ s is the scale at which this non-renormalisable interaction becomes strong. Does the theory break down here before it reaches the inflation scale M/ ξ s? Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

30 6. Inflation in the Higgs portal -continued- Fortunately, the appearance of the scale M/ξ s is not problematic for the case of a single real scalar s(x) with ξ s: R. N. Lerner and J. McDonald, ; M. P. Hertzberg, The simplest way to see this is to perform a field redefinition s(x) σ(x) s 1 σ = ds Ω + 6ξss2 2 M 2 Ω 4 so that dσ ds = 0 1 Ω + 6ξss2 2 M 2 Ω = Ω M2 ( sω 2 ) 2 4 Ω 4 which gives the canonically normalised kinetic term: ( ) 1 Ω + 6ξss2 g µν E µs νs 2 M 2 Ω 4 2 = 1 2 g µν E µσ νσ. F. L. Bezrukov and M. Shaposhnikov, Phys. Lett. B 659 (2008) 703 Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

31 6. Inflation in the Higgs portal -continued- At small field values, e.g. at the EW scale and up to s GeV the field redefinition is trivial s(x) = σ(x), for s M/ξ s At higher values of s, the solution for s in terms of σ is s(x) = M ( ) 2σ(x) exp 1, ξs 6M for s M ξ s At an even higher scale s M/ ξ s this gives s(x) = M ( ) σ(x) exp, for s M ξs 6M ξs The Einstein frame potential for the canonically normalised singlet σ(x) is now exponentially flat and well-suited for the slow-roll inflation: ( [ V E (s[σ]) = λs s 4 (x) = λsm4 1 exp 2σ(x) ]) 2, for s M 4 Ω 4 4 ξs 2 6M ξ s Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

32 Inflation in the Higgs portal Potential V (σ) for the canonically normalised singlet σ(x) is exponentially flat at large σ and provides the slow-roll inflation Everything follows from this V (σ). The slow-roll inflation parameter is ( ) 2 ɛ := M2 V (σ)/dσ = 4 M4 2 V (σ) 3 ξs 2 s 2 Inflation ends when ɛ = 1 which corresponds to s end = (4/3) 1/4 M/ ξ s or σ end 0.94M. Inflation starts at s M/ ξ s. The CMB normalisation condition V (s = so) ( M)4 ɛ determines the value of the non-minimal singlet coupling to gravity ξ s λ s The spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar perturbation ratios in this model are the same as computed in the Bezrukov-Shaposhnikov Higgs-inflation. They are in agreement with the Planck measurements. Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

33 6. Inflation in the Higgs portal -conclusions- Our realisation is a one-field slow-roll inflation model. The singlet field σ plays the role of the inflaton, while the other scalars decouple during inflation as they are much heavier than the Hubble H during inflation: m h = λhs 2 M ξs and m φ = λφs 2 M ξs H = λs M 12 ξ s Our model of inflation does not require inclusion of new physics d.o.f s at the the low M/ξ s and intermediate scale M/ ξ s. H and φ, are already canonically normalised and there are no non-renormalisable interactions involving sub-planckian scales. If new physics was required to be included below the UV cutoff M, this would have destroyed the classical scale invariance of the theory and induced large threshold contributions to the masses of the Higgs and the CW scalar, reintroducing the fine-tinning problem into the SM. Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36

34 7. Dark Matter = Inflaton In our classically scale-invariant SM U(1) CW theory with the singlet s(x) V cl (H, φ, s) = λ hs 2 H 2 s 2 + λ φs 4 φ 2 s 2 + λs 4 s4 + V cl (H, φ) the stability of the singlet is protected by a Z 2 symmetry, s s, giving a natural dark matter candidate. The Z 2 symmetry of the potential is an automatic consequence of the renormalisability (dimension 4), scale-invariance and gauge invariance. At large field values, s(x) > M/ ξ s, the singlet plays the role of the inflaton field which slowly rolls in an exponentially flat potential. After inflation is completed, the singlet enters the regime s(x) M/ξ s where it is canonically normalised, its potential is no longer flat. The singlet assumes the role of the dark matter with the mass m 2 s = λ hs 2 v 2 + λ φss 2 φ 2 Valentin V. Khoze (IPPP) Higgs Portal to New Physics October 30, / 36
