Abstract

Goofy transformations of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs field generally prohibit its bare mass term. This opens up an entirely new class of solutions to the electroweak (EW) hierarchy problem. We argue that these can be intrinsically linked to the flavor structure and origin of CP violation.
