Probing the desert by the two-loop renormalization-group equations

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
We have reexamined the study of probing the desert with fermion masses, presented by Bagger, Dimopoulos, and Masso, by using the two-loop renormalization-group equations in the framework of the SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) model with three generations and one Higgs doublet. The blow-up energy scale of the Yukawa coupling is found to be dependent on the Higgs quartic coupling lambda. If the Yukawa coupling blows up between the electroweak scale M/sub W/ and the grand unified scale M/sub X/, the Higgs potential is destabilized for small values of lambda at the electroweak scale M/sub W/, and becomes strongly coupled for large values of lambda at M/sub W/. It is found that the Higgs-scalar mass as well as the fermion masses are important to probe the desert.
