Cosmological Relaxation of the Electroweak Scale

Peter W. Graham, David E. Kaplan, Surjeet Rajendran

📄 Abstract

A new class of solutions to the electroweak hierarchy problem is presented that does not require either weak-scale dynamics or anthropics. Dynamical evolution during the early Universe drives the Higgs boson mass to a value much smaller than the cutoff. The simplest model has the particle content of the standard model plus a QCD axion and an inflation sector. The highest cutoff achieved in any technically natural model is 10^{8} GeV.
