- Description
The naturalness principle roughly demands that a theory should not involve independent parameters that are finely tuned. This principle was employed heavily over the last 40 years by theoretical physicists as a guideline for developing theories of beyond the Standard Model physics (BSM). However, since experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have not found conclusive signs for new physics, the significance of naturalness arguments has been questioned and it has been suggested that high-energy physics has reached the "dawn of the post-naturalness era." In this talk I show that a better understanding of the controversies over naturalness is available by looking at the concept of ‘guiding principle’ and the multiple roles that guiding principles such as naturalness play in scientific research.
