Naturalness problem (Fine-tuning, Gauge Hierarchy problem) ≈ - (200 GeV)2 for Λ = 103 GeV ≈ - (200 GeV)2 . 1032 for Λ = 1019 GeV mH ≈ 100 – 200 GeV ≈ - (200 GeV)2 . 1032 ≈ + (200 GeV)2 . 1032
SM Strong EWSB SUSY (MSSM) Large Extra Dimensions Little Higgs = 0 → mH = 319 GeV H not elementary, it melts into techniquarks at ΛTC ≈ 1-3 TeV ~ t1(2) Λ is not 1019 GeV, Λ is as low as 103 GeV

Linear sigma model (model of nuclear forces) σ v = μ/√λ ≈ 90 MeV σ = v + σ (spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking) SU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V
Standard model Higgs Lagrangian U(σ,π) σ SU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V v = μ/√λ ≈ 246 GeV Higgs Lagrangian ≡ Linear sigma model
Where are EW pions ??? mσ = μ2 mπ = 0 EW pions Φ1,Φ2,χ become WL, ZL SU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V (global) massless GB SU(2)L x U(1)Y → U(1)Q (local) Higgs mechanism: W,Z become massive by eating GB EW pions Φ1,Φ2,χ become WL, ZL
Where is σ ? … the (linear) σ model, although it has some agreeable features, is quite artificial. A new particle is postulated, for which there is no experimental evidence … M. Gell-Mann, M. Levy, Nuovo Cimento 16 p.705 (1960) … and they decided to get rid of σ particle …
Nonlinear σ model (QCD) v = 90 MeV Effective Lagrangian valid until a few hundred MeV
Where is Higgs boson ? … Higgs Lagrangian, although it has some agreeable features, is quite artificial. A new particle is postulated, for which there is no experimental evidence … … so we get rid of the Higgs boson Higgs boson is not necessary, Higgs mechanism works even without Higgs !

Chiral SB in QCD EWSB SU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V , vev ~ 90 MeV SU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V , vev ~ 246 GeV
Technicolor Technicolor of massless U and D techniquarks: SU(2)L x SU(2)R invariant As a result of dynamics, interactions of massless techniquarks, we get - SU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V - v = 246 GeV - EW pions = WL, ZL made of U,D techniquarks Best explanation of Naturalness & Hierarchy problems
Extended Technicolor (ETC) ETC was introduced to give masses to fermions … but introduced also large FCNC and conflict with precision EW measurements U D ETC Walking technicolor f f ETC has also problem to explain large top mass (mt = 174 GeV) Topcolor assisted technicolor
