Higgs Potential and Naturalness After the Higgs Discovery

Higgs Potential and Naturalness After the Higgs Discovery by Yuta Hamada.

This thesis focuses on the theoretical foundation of the Standard Model valid up to the Planck scale, based on the current experimental facts from the Large Hadron Collider. The thesis consists of two themes: (1) to open up a new window of the Higgs inflation scenario, and (2) to explore a new solut...
