The signatures of new physics, astrophysics and cosmology?

TL;DR

This paper explores the possibility that fundamental relations between quantum physics and cosmology could indicate new physics, especially in light of the Standard Model's success limiting traditional avenues for discovery.

Contribution

It proposes that relations linking quantum particles and cosmological parameters may serve as signatures of new physics, possibly involving the quantum vacuum and virtual gravitational dipoles.

Findings

Relations suggest fundamental interconnections between quantum physics and cosmology.

Potential signature of quantum vacuum with virtual gravitational dipoles.

Challenges the reliance on experimental deviations for new physics detection.

Abstract

The first three years of the LHC experiments at CERN have ended with "the nightmare scenario": all tests, confirm the Standard Model of Particles so well that theorists must search for new physics without any experimental guidance. The supersymmetric theories, a privileged candidate for new physics are nearly excluded. As a potential escape from the crisis, we propose thinking about a series of astonishing relations suggesting fundamental interconnections between the quantum world and the large scale Universe. It seems reasonable that, for instance, the equation relating a quark-antiquark pair with the fundamental physical constants and cosmological parameters must be a sign of new physics. One of the intriguing possibilities is interpreting our relations as a signature of the quantum vacuum containing the virtual gravitational dipoles.
