Softly broken conformal symmetry and the stability of the electroweak scale

We point out a novel possible mechanism by which the electroweak hierarchy problem can be avoided in the (effective) quantum field theory. Assuming the existence of a UV complete underlying fundamental theory and treating the cutoff scale $\Lambda$ of the effective field theory as a real physical scale we argue …
