A solution to the hierarchy problem from an almost decoupled hidden sector within a classically scale invariant theory
Robert Foot, Archil Kobakhidze, Kristian L. McDonald +1
If scale invariance is a classical symmetry then both the Planck scale and the weak scale should emerge as quantum effects. We show that this can be realized in simple scale invari…
Neutrino mass in radiatively-broken scale-invariant models
Robert Foot, Archil Kobakhidze, Kristian. L. McDonald +1
Scale invariance may be a classical symmetry which is broken radiatively. This provides a simple way to stabilize the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking against radiative corre…
Electroweak Higgs as a pseudo-Goldstone boson of broken scale invariance
Robert Foot, Archil Kobakhidze, Raymond R. Volkas
We point out that it is possible to associate the electroweak Higgs boson with the pseudo-Goldstone boson of broken scale invariance, thus resolving the hierarchy problem in a tech…
Natural electroweak symmetry breaking in generalised mirror matter models
R. Foot, R. R. Volkas
It has recently been pointed out that the mirror or twin Higgs model is more technically natural than the standard model, thus alleviating the ``little'' hierarchy problem. In this…
Cosmological implications of low scale quark-lepton unification
T. L. Yoon, R. Foot
There is a unique gauge model which allows quarks and leptons to be unified at the TeV scale -- thereby making the model…
Does mirror matter exist?
Robert Foot
One of the most fascinating ideas coming from particle physics is the concept of mirror matter. Mirror matter is a new form of matter which is predicted to exist if mirror symmetry…
