Standard Model vacuum decay with gravity
arXiv:1606.00849 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.95.025008
Abstract
We present a calculation of the decay rate of the electroweak vacuum, fully including all gravitational effects and a possible non-minimal Higgs-curvature coupling , and using the three-loop Standard Model effective potential. Without a non-minimal coupling, we find that the effect of the gravitational backreaction is small and less significant than previous calculations suggested. The gravitational effects are smallest, and almost completely suppressed, near the conformal value of the non-minimal coupling. Moving away from this value in either direction universally suppresses the decay rate.
