Implications of the detection of primordial gravitational waves for the Standard Model
G. Franciolini, G. F. Giudice, D. Racco +1
The detection of primordial gravitational waves would not only have extraordinary implications for our understanding of early cosmology, but would also give non-trivial constraints…
Testing Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter through LISA
N. Bartolo, V. De Luca, G. Franciolini +3
The idea that primordial black holes (PBHs) can comprise most of the dark matter of the universe has recently reacquired a lot of momentum. Observational constraints, however, rule…
Primordial Black Holes from Higgs Vacuum Instability: Avoiding Fine-tuning through an Ultraviolet Safe Mechanism
José Ramón Espinosa, Davide Racco, Antonio Riotto
We have recently proposed the idea that dark matter in our universe is formed by primordial black holes generated by Standard Model Higgs fluctuations during inflation and thanks t…
A Cosmological Signature of the SM Higgs Instability: Gravitational Waves
José Ramón Espinosa, Davide Racco, Antonio Riotto
A fundamental property of the Standard Model is that the Higgs potential becomes unstable at large values of the Higgs field. For the current central values of the Higgs and top ma…
