A phenomenological profile of Higgs portals at future colliders
Maximilian Detering, Christoph Englert, Victor Maura +1
Should the Higgs boson be found to couple to a hidden dark sector, it will become necessary to determine the nature of the Higgs portal responsible. Could the minimal, marginal Hig…
A new connection between WIMP dark matter and the hierarchy problem
Maximilian Detering, Thomas Steingasser, Tevong You
This work proposes a direct link between the hierarchy problem and Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs): we suggest that the small mass of the Higgs boson arises from being…
Higgs Criticality and the Metastability Bound: a target for future colliders
Maximilian Detering, Victor Enguita, Belen Gavela +2
New physics at the TeV scale or lower may destabilise the electroweak vacuum. How low could the vacuum instability scale be? This fundamental question may be tied to a deeper under…
Vacuum Metastability from Axion-Higgs Criticality
Maximilian Detering, Tevong You
Self-organised criticality, realised through cosmological dynamics in the early universe, is an alternative paradigm for addressing the electroweak hierarchy problem. In this scena…
