Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and Higgs Physics ∗
An introduction to electroweak symmetry breaking and Higgs physics is presented for the Standard Model and its supersymmetric extensions. A brief overview will also be given on strong interactions of the electroweak gauge bosons in alternative scenarios. In addition to the theoretical basis, the present experimental status of Higgs physics and implications for future experiments at the LHC and ...
متن کاملPlanck Scale Symmetry Breaking and Majoron Physics
Majoron models provide neutrino masses via the spontaneous breaking of a global U(1) symmetry. However, it may be argued that all global symmetries will be explicitly violated by gravita-tional effects. We show that it is possible to preserve most of the usual features of majoron models by invoking U(1) B−L to be a gauge symmetry and adding a second singlet scalar field. The majoron gets a smal...
متن کاملThe Role of Symmetry in Modern Physics
Perhaps the most impressive intellectual achievement in the history of mankind, the Standard Model of particle physics is the triumph of modern physics. Indeed, it is able to explain almost all physical phenomena that we have ever encountered with astonishing accuracy. The Standard Model is technically classified as a quantum field theory (QFT) a mathematical framework that quantizes the classi...
متن کاملSymmetry, Symmetry Breaking and Topology
The ground state of a system with symmetry can be described by a group G. This symmetry groupG can be discrete or continuous. Thus for a crystalG is a finite group while for the vacuum state of a grand unified theory G is a continuous Lie group. The ground state symmetry described by G can change spontaneously from G to one of its subgroups H as the external parameters of the system are modifie...
متن کاملSymmetry and Symmetry Breaking in Electrostatic MEMS
The use of electrostatic forces to provide actuation is a method of central importance in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and is of growing importance in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). The study of electrostatic actuation has led to numerous interesting experimental, theoretical, and numerical results. Yet, surprisingly, even simple electrostatically actuated systems have secrets t...
