Physical Naturalness and Dynamical Breaking of Classical Scale Invariance

Understand

We propose a model of a confining dark sector, dark technicolor, that communicates with the Standard Model through the Higgs portal.

• In this model electroweak symmetry breaking and dark matter share a common origin, and the electroweak scale is generated dynamically.
• Our motivation to suggest this model is the absense of evidence for new physics from recent LHC data.
• Although the conclusion is far from certain at this point, this lack of evidence may suggest that no mechanism exists at the electroweak scale to stabilise the Higgs mass against radiative corrections from UV physics.
