Cosmological implications of the Higgs mass measurement
Open accessAbstract
We assume the validity of the standard model up to an arbitrary high-energy scale and discuss what information on the early stages of the Universe can be extracted from a measurement of the Higgs mass. For , the Higgs potential can develop an instability at large-field values. From the absence of excessive thermal Higgs field fluctuations we derive a bound on the reheat temperature after inflation as a function of the Higgs and top masses. Then we discuss the interplay between the quantum Higgs fluctuations generated during the primordial stage of inflation and the cosmological perturbations, in the context of landscape scenarios in which the inflationary parameters scan. We show that, within the large-field models of inflation, it is highly improbable to obtain the observed cosmological perturbations in a Universe with a light Higgs. Moreover, independently of the inflationary model, the detection of primordial tensor perturbations through the B mode of CMB polarization and the discovery of a light Higgs can simultaneously occur only with exponentially small probability, unless there is new physics beyond the standard model.

“(3)In some non-Higgs inflation models, vacuum stability could be restored by adding a non-minimal Higgsgravity coupling (with radiative corrections) and assuming inflation is driven by new physics not directly coupled to the SM [10, 19].”

“In particular, in [12] it was argued that the reason why NP at MP (even if present) can be neglected in the calculation of the tunneling rate is due to the fact that the instability scale φinst ∼ 1011 GeV is sufficiently smaller than MP, i.”

“The main reason for this simplification given in [12] was that even if Planckscale suppressed operators of NP were present, they can still be neglected because the instability scale φinst ∼ 10(11) GeV happens to be orders of magnitude smaller than MP, thereby tacitly assuming the existence of some kind of a decoupling…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
