Description
The negative results at the Large Hadron Collider imply that the scale of new physics is higher than TeV scale. If it is the case, it is preferable to have a mechanism to explain the hierarchy between the new scale and the electroweak scale. The relaxionmechanism, proposed by P. W. Graham, D. E. Kaplan, and S. Rajendran, is a dynamical solution to the hierarchy problem. We point out that the tunneling phase of the relaxation requires a huge number of e-folds of inflation and could cause fine-tuning problems in inflation sector. We found a new mechanism similar to theirs, which overcomes the problem, is realized in a more generic setup, and enhances the testability at colliders.
