Connecting the electroweak and gravitational scales post LHC

大型强子对撞机正在探索标准模型的最后一个能量前沿，理论上预计这个规模是通往未来新物理的大门。然而，实验数据没有显示出新的标尺的迹象，这让理论家们不仅回到了绘图板上，而且更早地重新审视了在该领域成为标准的论点和原则。这些争论的核心是对普朗克质量(量子引力的尺度)、环路修正、自然度和有效场论(EFT)的处理。

The Large Hadron Collider is exploring the last energy frontier of the Standard Model, a scale that theory had anticipated to be the gateway to new physics beyond. The experimental data however shows no signs of new scales sending theorists not simply back to the drawing board but further back still to revisit the arguments and principles that became standard in the field. Central to those arguments is the treatment of the Plank mass (the scale of quantum gravity), loop corrections, naturalness and effective field theories (EFT)
