A new article published in Physical examination letters explains the theoretical model.
CERN scientists have proposed a theory that explains the small mass of the Higgs boson and solves a problem with the strong force theory. The Higgs boson is an elementary particle with a mass of around 125 GeV and has prompted scientists to theorize why it is so light. The strong force is one of the four fundamental forces in nature and binds quarks to form subatomic particles like protons and neutrons.
The theory uses a multiverse model to propose many different universes, each with a Higgs boson of a different mass. At the birth of these universes, those with more massive Higgs bosons would rapidly collapse, and the surviving universes would have a light Higgs boson, of which our universe would be a part.
The model also includes two new particles, which would solve the strong CP problem, derived from the theory of quantum chromodynamics. The proposed particles would make strong CP interactions symmetric and could also help explain dark matter.
“Each model has advantages and limitations. Our model is notable for its simplicity, its genericity, and its simultaneous resolution of these two seemingly unrelated puzzles. And it predicts distinctive features in the data of experiments aimed at searching for matter dipole moment in the neutron and other hadrons,” said Daniele Teresi of CERN.
