SM without SUSY is very good. From string theory point of view, SUSY breaking scale can be anywhere. So the simplest guess is that SUSY breaks at the Planck scale.
Outline
In other words, SM physics may be directly connected to the Planck scale physics. One concrete example is the Higgs inflation.
However we need a new principle by which Higgs mass and the cosmological constant are explained.

Suppose the underlying fundamental theory, such as string theory, has the momentum scale mS and the coupling constant gS .
The naturalness problem
Then, by dimensional analysis and the power counting of the couplings, the parameters of the low energy effective theory are given as follows:

SUSY as a solution to the naturalness problem
Bosons and fermions cancel the UV divergences:
However, SUSY must be spontaneously broken at some momentum scale MSUSY , below which the cancellation does not work.

(cont’d)
Therefore, if MSUSY is close to mH , the Higgs mass is naturally understood, although the cosmological constant is still a big problem. However, no signal of new particles is observed in the LHC below 1 TeV. It is better to think about the other possibilities.

Possibility of desert
The first thing we should know is whether the SM is valid to the string/Planck scale or some new physics should come in. If it is the former case, there is a possibility that the SM is directly connected to the Planck scale physics.

Is the SM valid to the Planck/string scale?
In order to answer the question, we consider the SM Lagrangian with cutoff momentum Λ, and determine the bare parameters in such a way that the observed parameters are recovered. If no inconsistency arises, it means that the SM can be valid to the energy scale Λ.

The bare couplings λB
The bare couplings can be approximated by the running couplings at momentum scale Λ in a mass independent scheme such as MS bar. (The error can be evaluated once the cutoff scheme is specified, and is turns out to be as small as the two-loop corrections.)

• The SM can be valid to the string scale. • The Higgs mass seems to be just on the stability bound. Nature likes the marginal stability. • The bare Higgs mass becomes close to zero at the string
scale. It implies that Higgs particle comes from a massless state of string, which does not receive a large stringy loop correction.
• The Higgs self coupling and the beta function also become close to zero at the string scale.
Higgs potential becomes almost flat around the string scale. Iso’s talk origin of the electro-weak scale Higgs field can play the roll of inflaton.

At present we do not have enough knowledge above Λ.
But there is a possibility that the Higgs potential in the stringy region is almost constant, and the inflation occurs in this region.

Radical approach We assume that the Higgs potential can be trusted up to the inflection point region.
The naïve guess is that inflation occurs if the parameters are tuned such that the inflection point almost becomes a saddle point.

Important difference from the original B-S
Higgs potential is small and flat around the string scale from the beginning.
We do not have to lower the potential by the coupling.
The only role of the coupling is to flatten the potential for the large field region.

Naturalness and Big Fix
There is a possibility that SM parameters are tuned such that the Higgs potential becomes almost flat around the string scale. Such tuning seems unnatural in the ordinary local field theory , but it may be understood by slightly going beyond the local field theory.

If we see such configuration from the side of the large universe(s), it looks like two small punctures.

• It seems we have nothing other than a minor modification of SM below the string scale.
• It is possible that the fine tunings result from not the conventional local field theory but something (slightly) beyond.
• For example, we can consider the possibility that the couplings are fixed to maximize the entropy of the universe.
• From this point of view Higgs inflation is natural.
• If DM is the Higgs portal scalar, its mass is predictable.
