Neo-Nat: Understanding the mass scales in nature The experimental results of the first run of the Large Hadron Collider led to the discovery of the Higgs boson but have not confirmed the dominant theoretical paradigm about the naturalness of the electro-weak scale, according to which the Higgs boson should have been accompanied by supersymmetric particles or by some other new physics able of protecting the Higgs boson mass from quadratically divergent quantum corrections. This project aims at exploring and developing new non-conventional ideas about the origin of mass scales in nature and in particular of the electroweak scale. |
