The Key Idea
The hierarchy problem — why the Higgs boson mass is so much lighter than the Planck scale — has driven decades of theoretical work. Little Higgs models offer a solution where the Higgs is naturally light as a pseudo-Goldstone boson, with its mass protected by collective symmetry breaking at the TeV scale. This conference contribution presents the core logic of the Little Higgs mechanism and its relation to the broader landscape of hierarchy problem solutions, drawing on the constructions developed in the Minimal Moose framework.
