Deriving Ontological Statements from the Unnatural Higgs Mass
AI总结:
本文通过元理论论证,主张希格斯质量自然性问题为伪问题,将等级问题重新解释为希格斯玻色子本体论基本性的指示,并批判有效理论方法论的过度应用。
摘要:
我们提供了新颖的元理论论证,以强化轻希格斯质量的自然性问题是一个伪问题的立场:在一种假设下,解释希格斯玻色子的小值无需粒子物理标准模型之外的新物理。通过评估技术自然性指导原则以往的成功,我们将其适用性限制在有限能量尺度内临时理论中的非基本现象。鉴于粒子物理之外明显基本现象中尺度自主性的进一步破坏,希格斯质量的等级问题反而被重新解释为希格斯玻色子本体论基本地位的指示。应用Worrall和Williams关于理论要素在理论变更下稳健性的概念,这证明了在粒子物理标准模型的有效理论中这一看似矛盾的归属是合理的。此外,我们认为,关于希格斯质量的持续自然性争论部分基于对有效理论方法论(常声称普遍适用)的坚持,而在处理如希格斯机制这类可能基本的现象时,即使它被嵌入有效理论中,这种坚持也是没有根据的。
英文摘要:
We provide novel, metatheoretical arguments strengthening the position that the naturalness problem of the light Higgs mass is a pseudo-problem: Under one assumption, no physics beyond the standard model of particle physics is needed to explain the small value of the Higgs boson. By evaluating previous successes of the guiding principle of technical naturalness, we restrict its applicability to non-fundamental phenomena in the realm of provisional theories within limited energy scales. In view of further breaches of autonomy of scales in apparently fundamental phenomena outside particle physics, the hierarchy problem of the Higgs mass is instead reinterpreted as an indication of the ontologically fundamental status of the Higgs boson. Applying the concept of robustness of theoretical elements under theory changes by Worrall and Williams justifies this seemingly contradictory attribution within the effective theories of the standard model of particle physics. Moreover, we argue that the ongoing naturalness debate about the Higgs mass is partly based on the adherence to the methodology of effective theories (often claimed to be universally applicable), for which there is no justification when dealing with presumably fundamental phenomena such as the Higgs mechanism, even if it is embedded into an effective theory.
