Abstract

We develop the model where the correct description of particle physics in the TeV energy scale needs to account for degrees of freedom obeying the conformal invariance. In this respect, the existing of Georgi’s unparticles is strongly argued. We present the gauge model of scalar unparticles. The ground state of the scalar unparticles stuff, the scalar unHiggs, which is a dipole field, in the continuum is restricted by the vacuum expectation value of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson and the non-canonical scaling dimension d of the unparticle stuff.
