Thanks to 2D and maybe even beyond: 115 GeV and 140 GeV almost Standard Model Higgs without problems

TL;DR

This paper explores Higgs mass generation mechanisms, proposes models with Higgs near 115 and 140 GeV, and discusses implications for the Standard Model's validity up to near the Planck scale, including top condensation and composite particle models.

Contribution

It introduces a 2D Standard Model framework for Higgs mass generation, predicts specific Higgs mass regions, and proposes models that potentially remove tachyons and extend SM validity.

Findings

Predicted Higgs mass regions at 116.5 GeV and 140.5 GeV.

SM in 2D can generate Higgs mass radiatively and cancel corrections.

Top condensation consistent with gluon and Higgs interactions.

Abstract

I address: (1) dynamical, likely local Higgs mass generation as resolution to the 4D hierarchy and vacuum energy problems, (2) possibility that top condensation may be explained by an interplay among the gluon and scalar sectors, (3) the Higgs Mass Zero Crossing (HMZC) scale, most likely equal to {\Lambda}_EWSB, in accord with standard cosmology or classic inflation, and (4) two preferred Higgs regions centered at 116.5 GeV and 140.5 GeV with related high energy models. I show that SM in 2D could simultaneously satisfy (a) complete radiative generation of the Higgs mass via top loop and (b) cancelation of the remaining leading order corrections to the scalar propagator. The Higgs mass, m_H, parameterized with k=1 (2), in the leading order is 113.0{\pm}1.0 GeV (143.4{\pm}1.3 GeV). I show that the SM top condensation is consistent with the gluon and Higgs mediated top-anti top interactions at tree level. I predict the QCD fine structure constant with the mean value only 0.25% away from the world average value at {\sqrt}s=M_Z. The SM driven theory at energies larger than the HMZC scale necessary includes effective tachyonic Higgs (Popovic 2001). Here, I map the SM physical Higgs mass to the low energy HMZC scale (0.8-1.8 TeV). I show that the very "long lived" SM necessitates Higgs lighter than 146.5{\pm}2 GeV such that there is a single HMZC scale at energies smaller than the Planck mass. I present candidate m_H=138.1{\pm}1.8 GeV for the SM valid up to an energy scale, nearly equal Planck mass, obtained from a conjecture which minimizes the parameters of the Higgs potential. I introduce a class of models potentially exactly removing tachyons. I analyze Composite Particles Models (CPM) (Popovic 2002) where top quark is composite, composed of 3 fundamental fermions, and Higgs scalar is composite, composed of 2 fundamental fermions, with m_H=2/3 m_t=115.4{\pm}0.9 GeV.
