conservationis called Local Gauge Invariance

The Higgs Boson Explains the Masses of Elementary Particles

It was hoped that a fundamental Higgs Mechanismwould explain the origin of electroweak mass

We now know that a fundamental Higgs Bosonexists and explains the masses of quarks, leptons, W and Z

It is possible that we need only the strongest coupled SUSY

partners to the Higgs Boson to be nearby in mass

e.g., “The More minimal supersymmetric standard model”A, G. Cohen , D.B. Kaplan, A.E. Nelson Phys.Lett. B388 (1996) 588-598

e.g., “Natural SUSY” : A Light Stop

Weak Scale SUSY was seriously challengedbefore the LHC turned on (e.g. EDM’s)

MSSM now copes with severe direct limits;Some nMSSM models survive

If SUSY is the custodial symmetrywe should see it in LHC RUN-II

Bardeen: Classical Scale Invariancecould be the custodial symmetry of a fundamental, perturbatively

light Higgs Boson.

The model does not require large quartic cc’s, hassensible UV behavior

H2 and associatedgauge fields becomeviable dark matter

I think this is a very important scientific question:

Is the Higgs potential Coleman-Weinberg?

• Examined a “maximally visible” scheme• Requires new bosonic contribution(s) to RG

• Dormant Higgs Boson from std 2-doublet scheme M 400 GeV

• May be observable, LHC run III?• Higgs trilinear and quartic couplngs non-standard

• UV problem -> new strong scale 10 TeV• New bosons may be dark matter

Perhaps we live in a world where allMass comes from quantum effects

No classical mass input parameters.

QCD and Higgs may be telling ussomething very profound:

All mass in nature may be a quantum phenomenon !
