Why should we care about the top quark Yukawa coupling?

Springer Verlag, 2015
Article

In the cosmological context, for the Standard Model to be valid up to the scale of inflation, the top quark Yukawa coupling y (t) should not exceed the critical value y (t) (crit) , coinciding with good precision (about 0.2aEuro degrees) with the requirement of the stability of the electroweak vacuum. So, the exact measurements of y (t) may give an insight on the possible existence and the energy scale of new physics above 100 GeV, which is extremely sensitive to y (t) . We overview the most recent theoretical computations of and the experimental measurements of y (t) (crit) and the experimental measurements of y (t) . Within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties in y (t) , the required scale of new physics varies from 10(7) GeV to the Planck scale, urging for precise determination of the top quark Yukawa coupling.

Higgs boson mass and new physics

We discuss the lower Higgs boson mass bounds which come from the absolute stability of the Standard Model (SM) vacuum and from the Higgs inflation, as well as the prediction of the Higgs boson mass coming from the asymptotic safety of the SM. We account for the three-loop renormalization group evolution of the couplings of the SM and for a part of the two-loop corrections that involve the QCD coupling alpha(s) to the initial conditions for their running. This is one step beyond the current state-of-the-art procedure ("one-loop matching-two-loop running"). This results in a reduction of the theoretical uncertainties in the Higgs boson mass bounds and predictions, associated with the SM physics, to 1-2GeV. We find that with the account of existing experimental uncertainties in the mass of the top quark and alpha(s) (taken at the 2 sigma level) the bound reads M-H >= M-min (equality corresponds to the asymptotic-safety prediction), where M-min = (129 +/- 6) GeV. We argue that the discovery of the SM Higgs boson in this range would be in agreement with the hypothesis of the absence of new energy scales between the Fermi and Planck scales, whereas the coincidence of M-H with M-min would suggest that the electroweak scale is determined by Planck physics. In order to clarify the relation between the Fermi and Planck scales a construction of an electron-positron or muon collider with a center-of-mass energy similar to (200 + 200 GeV) (Higgs and t-quark factory) would be needed.

Inflation, LHC and the Higgs boson

After the Higgs boson has been discovered, the Standard Model of particle physics became a confirmed theory, potentially valid up to the Planck scale and allowing to trace the evolution of the Universe from inflationary stage till the present days. We discuss the relation between the results from the LHC and the inflationary cosmology. We given an overview of the Higgs inflation, and its relation to the possible metastability of the electroweak vacuum. A short overview of the bounds on the metastability of the electroweak vacuum in the models with inflation not related to the Higgs boson is presented. © 2015 World Scientific Publishing Company.
