On the Cosmological Stability of the Higgs Instability
Valerio De Luca, Alex Kehagias, Antonio Riotto
The Standard Model Higgs potential becomes unstable at large Higgs field values where its quartic coupling becomes negative. While the tunneling lifetime of our current electroweak…
Bubble Correlation in First-Order Phase Transitions
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, A. Riotto
Making use of both the stochastic approach to the tunneling phenomenon and the threshold statistics, we offer a simple argument to show that critical bubbles may be correlated in f…
Colored Dark Matter
Valerio De Luca, Andrea Mitridate, Michele Redi +2
We explore the possibility that Dark Matter is the lightest hadron made of two stable color octet Dirac fermions . The cosmological DM abundance is reproduced for $M_{\ca…
