Abstract
Assuming that naturalness should be modified by ignoring quadratic divergences, we propose a simple extension of the standard model where the weak scale is dynamically generated together with an automatically stable vector. Identifying it as thermal dark matter, the model has one free parameter. It predicts one extra scalar, detectable at colliders, which triggers a first-order dark/electroweak cosmological phase transition with production of gravitational waves. Vacuum stability holds up to the Planck scale. © 2013 American Physical Society.File in questo prodotto:
