*Title: Phenomenology of the Minimal Classically Scale Invariant Higgs Sector

*Abstract: Classical scale symmetry is an interesting proposal as an alternative way of thinking about the naturalness and hierarchy problem. In this talk, I will introduce a minimal classically scale-invariant extension of the SM, which includes right-handed Majorana neutrinos, and discuss various theoretical and experimental constraints; in particular, its collider and dark matter phenomenology. Implications for a strongly first-order EW phase transition will also be discussed.

*Based on: 1308.0295, 1405.0498, and 1408.3533
