We develop an effective-model description arising from a recently proposed scale-invariant hidden scalar-QCD, which has been used to explain the dynamical origin of the electroweak scale.
- In addition to the previous works, our new effective model includes the dynamical scale-anomaly effect from the hidden QCD gluons, to explicitly break the classical-scale invariance at the level of an effective field theory, which is known as the leading-order scale-symmetry (LOSS).
- In the phenomenological analysis, the proposed model predicts a light composite dilaton composed of hidden scalar quarks and gluons with the mass around electroweak scale (around 280 GeV), and has only one input parameter, which is the mixing angle between the Higgs boson and the composite dilaton.
- Our result for the dilaton mass is in accord with the lattice simulation for scalar QCD, where the scalar-quark bound states acquire a large effective mass from the hidden gluon contribution.
