Naturalness of electroweak symmetry breaking
Description
After reviewing the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model and its implications for the scale of New Physics, I discuss the naturalness of electroweak symmetry breaking in two of the main scenarios for Physics beyond the Standard Model: Supersymmetry and Little Higgs models. The main conclusions are that it is natural to expect New Physics to be on the reach of the LHC; that particular supersymmetric models can solve the hierarchy problem with moderate fine-tuning and, finally, that Little Higgs models generically suffer from large tunings, many times hidden
