Description

We argue that radiative symmetry breaking in the Standard Model with classically unbroken conformal symmetry in the presence of right-chiral neutrinos and a minimally enlarged scalar sector naturally introduces and stabilizes a hierarchy without the need for low energy supersymmetry. The model is compatible with all available data; in particular, there exists a set of parameters for which it may remain viable even up to the Planck scale.
