The Standard Model (SM) is usually considered to be unnatural because the scalar Higgs mass receives a quadratic divergent correction. We suggest a new way to solve the naturalness problem from point of view of renormalization group method. Our approach is illustrated through the familiar $phi^4$ theory. A renormalization group equation for scalar field mass is proposed by introducing a subtraction scale. We give a non-trivial prediction: the Higss mass at short-distance is a damping exponential function of the energy scale. It follows from a characteristic of the SM that the couplings to Higgs are proportional to field masses, in particular the Higgs self-interactions. In the ultraviolent limit, the Higgs mass approaches to a mass called by Veltman mass which is at the order of the electroweak scale. The fine-tuning is not necessary. The Higgs naturalness problem is solved by radiative corrections themselves.

Examining the Higgs sector at high energy scales through off-shell Higgs production can potentially shed light on the naturalness problem of the Higgs mass. We propose such a study at the LHC by utilizing a representative model with a new scalar field ($S$) coupled to the Standard Model Higgs doublet ($H$) in a form $ |S|^2 |H|^2$. In the process $p p rightarrow h^* rightarrow ZZ$, the dominant momentum-dependent part of the one-loop scalar singlet corrections, especially above the new threshold at $2m_S$, leads to a measurable deviation in the differential distribution of the $Z$-pair invariant mass, in accordance with the quadratic divergence cancellation to the Higgs mass. We find that it is conceivable to probe such new physics at the $5sigma$ level at the high-luminosity LHC, improving further with the upgraded $27$ TeV LHC, without requiring the precise measurement of the Higgs boson total width. The discovery of such a Higgs portal could also have important implications for thermal dark matter as well as for electroweak baryogenesis.
Introducing a source for a bi-local composite operator motivated by the perturbative expansion in gauge couplings, we calculate its effective potential in the renormalization group of Standard Model with no involvement of technicolor. The potential indicates the breaking of electroweak symmetry below a scale M due to a nonzero vacuum expectation value of neutral component for the SU(2)-doublet operator. At virtualities below a cut off Lambda we introduce the local higgs approximation for the effective fields of sources coupled to the composite operators. The value of Lambdaapprox 600 GeV is fixed by the measured masses of gauge vector bosons. The exploration of equations for infrared fixed points of calculated Yukawa constants allows us to evaluate the masses of heaviest fermion generation with a good accuracy, so that m_t(m_t) = 165pm 4 GeV, m_b(m_b) = 4.18pm 0.38 GeV and m_tau(m_tau) = 1.78pm 0.27 GeV. After a finite renormalization of effective fields for the sources of composite operators, the parameters of effective Higgs field potential are calculated at the scale of matching with the local theory Lambda. The fixed point for the Yukawa constant of t quark and the matching condition for the null effective potential at M drive the M value to the GUT scale. The equation for the infrared fixed point of quartic self-action allows us to get estimates for two almost degenerate scalar particles with m_H= 306pm 5 GeV, while third scalar coupled with the tau lepton is more heavy: m_{H_tau} = 552pm 9 GeV. Some phenomenological implications of the offered approach describing the effective scalar field, and a problem on three fermion generations are discussed.
Assuming the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) with a characteristic scale M ~ O(10) TeV, we investigate the naturalness of the Higgs sector at scales below M using an effective field theory (EFT) approach. We obtain the leading 1-loop EFT contributions to the Higgs mass with a Wilsonian-like hard cutoff, and determine the constraints on the corresponding operator coefficients for these effects to alleviate the little hierarchy problem up to the scale of the effective action Lambda < M, a condition we denote by EFT-naturalness. We also determine the types of physics that can lead to EFT-naturalness and show that these types of new physics are best probed in vector-boson and multiple-Higgs production. The current experimental constraints on these coefficients are also discussed.
We investigate naturalness in the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector using effective field theory (EFT) techniques and find the requirements on the new heavy physics that can potentially cure the little hierarchy problem below a scale $Lambda gg O(1 ~{rm TeV})$, assuming the new heavy particles have a mass larger than $ Lambda $. In particular, we determine the conditions under which the 1-loop corrections to $ m_h $ from the heavy new physics can balance those created by SM loop effects up to the naturalness scale $Lambda$, a condition we denote by EFT Naturalness. We obtain the higher dimensional ($n ge 5$) operators in the effective Lagrangian that can lead to EFT Naturalness, and classify the underlying heavy theories that can generate such operators at tree-level. We also address the experimental constraints on our EFT Naturalness setup and discuss the expected experimental signals of the new heavy physics associated with EFT Naturalness.
Light states associated with the hierarchy problem affect the Higgs LHC production and decays. We illustrate this within the MSSM and two simple extensions applying the latest bounds from LHC Higgs searches. Large deviations in the Higgs properties are expected in a natural SUSY spectrum. The discovery of a non-Standard-Model Higgs may signal the presence of light stops accessible at the LHC. Conversely, the more the Higgs is Standard-Model-like, the more tuned the theory becomes. Taking the ratio of different Higgs decay channels at the LHC cancels the leading QCD uncertainties and potentially improves the accuracy in Higgs coupling measurements to the percent level. This may lead to the possibility of doing precision Higgs physics at the LHC. Finally, we entertain the possibility that the ATLAS excess around 125 GeV persists with a Higgs production cross-section that is enhanced compared to the SM. This increase can only be accommodated in extensions of the MSSM and it may suggest that stops lie below 400 GeV, likely within reach of next years LHC run.
