Abstract (eng)
This master's thesis discusses a nonabelian, classically scale invariant extension of the Standard Model (SM), where the SM gauge group is enlarged by an additional SU(2) gauge symmetry. This new gauge group, under which the SM particles transform trivially, comes along with the appearance of three new gauge bosons. Although classical scale invariance forbids a bilinear Higgs mass term with operator dimension 2 in the Lagrangian
density, spontaneous symmetry breaking is induced by radiative corrections at one-loop level (Coleman-Weinberg mechanism). Furthermore, the well-known masses of the topquark (~ 170 GeV) and of the Higgs boson (125 GeV) make it necessary to introduce additional scalar degrees of freedom to stabilize the effective potential. As a first step, a new scalar particle is added to the theory, which is a doublet with respect to the new SU(2)
gauge symmetry and a singlet under the SM gauge group. Afterwards, a real scalar singlet and three right-handed neutrinos are introduced, which enable the implementation of the seesaw mechanism. After a summary of the theoretical background and the derivation of the effective potential for a very general theory, the Gildener-Weinberg method is used to perturbatively analyse both of these models up to one-loop level in great detail.
