Résumé
Abstract

L'idée ancienne selon laquelle le Higgs pourrait correspondre à un pseudo boson de Goldstone a récemment connu un regain d'intérêt du fait de la solution qu'elle apporte au conflit de petite hiérarchie au sein du modèle standard. Elle trouve sans doute sa réalisation la plus naturelle dans le contexte de théories supersymétriques à une échelle proche de l'échelle de brisure de la symétrie électrofaible.

The old idea of the Higgs as a pseudo-Goldstone boson has been revived and re-energized as a possible solution to the little hierarchy puzzle in the Standard Model. Its most natural implementation may be in the context of models with supersymmetry not far above the electroweak breaking scale.
