Towards LHC Physics with Non-local Standard Model

Understand

We take a few steps towards constructing a string-inspired nonlocal extension of the Standard Model.

• We start by illustrating how quantum loop calculations can be performed in nonlocal scalar field theory.
• In particular, we show the potential to address the hierarchy problem in the nonlocal framework.
• Next, we construct a nonlocal abelian gauge model and derive modifications of the gauge interaction vertex and field propagators.
