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.

Classically conformal $B^-$ L extended Standard Model

TL;DR: In this paper, the minimal B-L extended standard model was investigated under a hypothesis of classically conformal theories, which naturally provided the seesaw mechanism for explaining tiny neutrino masses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dark matter in the inert doublet model after the discovery of a Higgs-like boson at the LHC

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the Inert Doublet Model in light of the discovery of a Higgs-like boson with a mass of roughly 126 GeV at the LHC.

NLO QCD corrections to production in hadron collisions

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of the corrections on the total cross sections is characterized by K factors, the ratios of the cross sections in next-to-leading order over leading order QCD.

Stabilization of the Electroweak Vacuum by a Scalar Threshold Effect

TL;DR: In this paper, the quartic interaction between the heavy scalar singlet and the Higgs doublet leads to a positive tree-level threshold correction, which is very effective in stabilizing the potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

The probable fate of the Standard Model

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the relative likelihoods of these possibilities, on the basis of a global fit to the Standard Model made using the Gfitter package, using the information about the Higgs mass available directly from Higgs searches at LEP and now the Tevatron, and indirectly from precision electroweak data.

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.
