A small weak scale from a small cosmological constant

Abstract We propose a framework in which Weinberg’s anthropic explanation of the cosmological constant problem also solves the hierarchy problem. The weak scale is selected by chiral dynamics that controls the stabilization of an extra dimension. When the Higgs vacuum expectation value is close to a...
