NMC and the fine-tuning problem on the brane (Q2337711)

Summary: We propose a new solution to the fine-tuning problem related to coupling constant \(\lambda\) of the potential. We study a quartic potential of the form \(\lambda \phi^4\) in the framework of the Randall-Sundrum type II braneworld model in the presence of a Higgs field which interacts nonminimally with gravity via a possible interaction term of the form \(-(\xi / 2) \phi^2 R\). Using the conformal transformation techniques, the slow-roll parameters in high energy limit are reformulated in the case of a nonminimally coupled scalar field. We show that, for some value of a coupling parameter \(\xi\) and brane tension \(T\), we can eliminate the fine-tuning problem. Finally, we present graphically the solutions of several values of the free parameters of the model.
