Discrete Higgs and the Cosmological Constant
Paolo Amore, Alfredo Aranda, J. Lorenzo Díaz-Cruz · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2008
It is proposed that the Higgs vacuum possesses a small-scale structure that can explain the large discrepancy between the predicted electroweak vacuum energy density and the observed cosmological constant. An effective Lagrangian description is employed to obtain modifications to the Standard Model predictions that can be tested at collider experiments.
