10 2 L e f f = L SM +L NP e f f Taking c i = ±1 L NP e f f = Σ i c i Λ 2 O i NP and considering one operator at a time T S 1σ-bounds a light Higgs More conservatively: Λ > ~5 TeV

11 On the meaning of these bounds c? i = ±1 The stronger case: fermion compositeness at Λ NP c i 16π 2 The weaker case: NP only induced by loop effects c i α 4π An intermediate case: NP from perturbative tree level c i 1 Need to consider specific models to be more precise also because of possible cancellations

12 The naturalness problem of the Fermi scale There is certainly New Physics (NP) at short distances Λ NP =..., M GUT, M Pl Λ NP >> G 1/2 F to be included in a suitably Extended SM (ESM)? How to keep the beautiful consistency of the SM with exp.s? No problem, even not knowing which NP at all, provided: 1. SU(3) SU(2) U(1) kept intact 2. The low energy spectrum of the ESM coincides with the one of the SM, with the inclusion of the Higgs boson Why this is the case? the naturalness problem of the Fermi scale Why the focus on the Higgs boson only? Why we call this a problem? h }SM

13 Why a problem? 1. To address it at all, need a calculable Higgs mass 2. In the SM δm 2 h = α t Λ 2 t + α g Λ 2 g + α h Λ 2 h with known coeff.s for a given cut-off 3. Even though Λ, whatever will cutoff these div.s is likely to leave a significant contribution to (see below) Too big? m 2 h ( ) 4. Using the naive estimate of ( ) and barring accidental cancellations Λ t 5. Especially low enough that one might have already seen its (indirect)signs Λ t 3.5m h Λ g 9m h > Λ t Λ h 1.3 TeV

14 Once again: The naturalness problem of the Fermi scale Why the agreement data SM is unaffected by short distance physics, whatever it may be?
