Classicalization is a phenomenon in which a theory prevents itself from entering into a strong-coupling regime, by redistributing the energy among many weakly-interacting soft quanta. In this way, the scattering process of some initial hard quanta splits into a large number of soft elementary processes. In short, the theory trades the strong coupling for a high-multiplicity of quanta. At very high energies, the outcome of such a scattering experiment is a production of soft states of high occupation number that are approximately classical. It is evident that black hole creation in particle collision at super-Planckian energies is a result of classicalization, but there is no a priory reason why this phenomenon must be limited to gravity. If the hierarchy problem is solved by classicalization, the LHC has a chance of detecting a tower of new resonances. The lowest-lying resonances must appear right at the strong coupling scale in form of short-lived elementary particles. The heavier members of the tower must behave more and more classically: they must be longer lived and decay into higher numbers of soft quanta.

  1. Approximate Symmetries and Gravity

    hep-th 2019-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors propose a 'Swampland Symmetry Conjecture' requiring local symmetry-violating operators to act faster than thermal black holes, and show that the Weak Gravity Conjecture typically enforces this bound in gau...

  2. Light scalars in light of UV/IR mixing: classicalization via synergy between Vainshtein and chameleon screenings

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Classicalizing k-essence scalars need m << Λ* and, when potentials or fermion couplings are present, a chameleon-like screening layer to keep Vainshtein screening and classicalon stability intact.

  3. Goofy is the new Normal

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Goofy transformations define new renormalization-group-stable parameter relations in the two-Higgs-doublet model that are not ordinary symmetries.

  4. Cosmological Relaxation of Higgs Mass Before and After LHC and Naturalness

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    The paper restates the claim that the Higgs mass is natural because the observed vacuum is an infinite-entropy attractor selected by eternal inflation, making TeV-scale stabilizing new physics unnecessary.
