1939: Scalar fields portend an energy scale associated with new phenomena that are close at hand.

Weisskopf’s arguments imply that there should be new physics at the scale of m H /g ∼ 1 TeV. But where is the new TeV-scale physics?

Many of the limits are based on simplified models, c.f. refs. for the assumptions made.

At what point do you lose interest in extending the new physics searches? Ø Keep in mind that after Run 2, you will only have collected 5% of the total luminosity expected during the LHC lifetime. Ø If you discover new physics consistent with explanations of the gauge hierarchy problem (why is m W /M PL ∼ 10 -17 ?), the little hierarchy problem becomes much less pressing.

Final thoughts on naturalness Ø The announcement of the death of naturalness may be premature. Ø There is still room for theoretical innovations. Ø However, in evaluating new approaches to naturalness, it is important to consider how one could test these ideas experimentally (i.e. what observable phenomenon would convince you that Nature has employed a natural theory for the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking?).

2. Do we really know the particle content of the TeV-scale effective theory? Ø The fermion sector of the Standard Model (SM) is non-minimal. Three generations—who ordered that? Ø The scalar sector of the SM has a single Higgs boson. Why not multiple families of Higgs scalars? Ø There are good reasons to think that the number of families of chiral fermions is limited to 3. But what about vector-like quarks and leptons? Ø Flavor anomalies have revived interest in leptoquarks.

Ø Are we really sure that the gauge group of the effective TeV-scale theory is SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1)? Are there new gauge bosons lurking in the region of 1—10 TeV? Ø Of course, don’t forget about the dark sector, which I shall define as particles that are neutral with respect to SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1). Perhaps motivated by theories of dark matter, but could exist independently. Communications with the SM sector is possible through the various portals.
