Electroweak Higgs Potentials and Vacuum Stability

Marc Sher
- 01 Aug 1989 - 
- Vol. 179, pp 273-418
TLDR
In this article, the method of calculating radiative corrections to the scalar potentials is reviewed, with an emphasis on renormalization group improvement of the potential, and the results are then applied to the standard model to derive stringent bounds on Higgs and fermion passes.

Chapter 4.2.1 – The Standard Model: Physical Basis and Scattering Experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, the weak interactions of the elementary particles are described by an effective Lagrangian of current × current type in which the weak currents are coherent superpositions of charged vector and axial-vector currents, accounting for the violation of parity.

The Boring Monopole

- 22 Feb 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors study false vacuum decays catalysed by metastable magnetic monopoles, where the monopole core is in the true vacuum of the scalar potential.

Vacuum Stability in Split Susy and Little Higgs Models

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of the effective higgs potential in the split supersymmetry and Little Higgs models was studied. And the effects of higher dimensional operators in the effective potential on the higgs mass predictions were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical temperature and primordial neutrino abundances

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the electroweak phase transition on the relic neutrino abundances in the standard big bang cosmology were investigated and it was shown that when the critical temperature T c is less than the mass of the neutrinos, the relic density will be strongly suppressed.

Inflationary universe: A possible solution to the horizon and flatness problems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a model of hot big-bang cosmology where the early universe is assumed to be highly homogeneous, in spite of the fact that separated regions were causally disconnected (horizon problem).

Quantum Field Theory

TL;DR: In this article, a modern pedagogic introduction to the ideas and techniques of quantum field theory is presented, with a brief overview of particle physics and a survey of relativistic wave equations and Lagrangian methods.

CP Conservation in the Presence of Pseudoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an explanation of the conservation of strong interactions which includes the effects of pseudoparticles, and they find it is a natural result for any theory where at least one flavor of fermion acquires its mass through a Yukawa coupling to a scalar field which has nonvanishing vacuum expectation value.

CP Violation in the Renormalizable Theory of Weak Interaction

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that no CP-violating interactions exist in the quartet scheme without introducing any other new fields, and that the strong interaction must be chiral SU ( 4) X SU( 4) invariant as precisely as the conservation of the third component of the iso-spin.

A new inflationary universe scenario: A possible solution of the horizon, flatness, homogeneity, isotropy and primordial monopole problems

TL;DR: A new inflationary universe scenario is suggested in this paper, which is free of the shortcomings of the previous one and provides a possible solution of the horizon, flatness, homogeneity and isotropy problems in cosmology.
