Cosmological Perturbations from the Standard Model Higgs | | Andrea De Simone
; Antonio Riotto
; | | Date: |
7 Aug 2012 | | Abstract: | We propose that the Standard Model (SM) Higgs is responsible for generating
the cosmological perturbations of the universe by acting as an isocurvature
mode during a de Sitter inflationary stage. In view of the recent ATLAS and CMS
results for the Higgs mass, this can happen if the Hubble rate during inflation
is in the range $(10^{10}- 10^{14})$ GeV (depending on the SM parameters).
Implications for the detection of primordial tensor perturbations through the
$B$-mode of CMB polarization via the PLANCK satellite are discussed. For
example, if the Higgs mass value is confirmed to be $m_h=125.5$ GeV and $m_t,
alpha_s$ are at their central values, our mechanism predicts tensor
perturbations too small to be detected in the near future. On the other hand,
if tensor perturbations will be detected by PLANCK through the $B$-mode of CMB,
then there is a definite relation between the Higgs and top masses, making the
mechanism predictive and falsifiable. | | Source: | arXiv, 1208.1344 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
