A Simplified View of the Higgs/Yukawa Mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent apparent observation [1, 2] of the Higgs boson [3, 4, 5, 6] has led to much interest in the popular claim that the Higgs boson (or better, the Higgs field) “gives mass” to those elementary particles that have it. Discuss how the de Broglie relations [7] for “matter waves” lead to a wave equation with a term that depends on mass, and that interpretation of this term as due to the interaction of the particle/wave with short-range “background” field “explains” the origin of mass. Compare with (quasi)electrons in an electromagnetic wave.

قیدهای تک Z روی مدل ماده تاریک فرمیونی با واسطه شبه اسکالر در LHC
In this research we study the Mono-Z signature along with dark matter production at the LHC in a renormalizable dark matter model. We look at processes with L+L-+MET in the final state. We simulate signal and background events at central mass energy 14 TeV We then evaluate the LHC sensitivities for some points in the model parameter space for two integrated luminosities L=100 fb-1 and L=1 ab-1 ...
متن کاملAssociated production of Higgs bosons and heavy quarks at photon colliders
The idea of fermion mass generation through Yukawa couplings between Higgs bosons and fermions may be tested by their associated production at future linear colliders ( LC ). We study the production mechanism in the minimal supersymmeric standard model at photon colliders that can be realized by the laser back-scattering technique at the LC. We find that the cross sections for the production of...
متن کاملMeasurement of the top-Higgs Yukawa coupling at a Linear e+e− Collider
Understanding the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and the origin of boson and fermion masses is among the most pressing questions raised in contemporary particle physics. If these issues involve one (several) Higgs boson(s), a precise measurement of all its (their) properties will be of prime importance. Among those, the Higgs coupling to matter fermions (the Yukawa coupling). At a L...
متن کاملCalculable Violation of Gauge-Yukawa Universality and Top Quark Mass in the Gauge-Higgs Unification
We find that the one-loop correction to the ratio of Yukawa coupling and gauge coupling in the gauge-Higgs unification, “gauge-Yukawa universality violation”, is finite and calculable in any space-time dimension. Applying this result to the ratio of top quark and W-boson masses, we show that the order one correction required to generate a viable top quark mass is indeed possible if the fermion ...
متن کاملHiggs - mediated flavor - changing neutral currents in the general framework with two Higgs doublets – an RGE analysis
We consider the standard model with two Higgs doublets with the most general Yukawa coupling terms (" type III "). In the model, the neutral-Higgs-mediated flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNC's) are allowed, but must be reasonably suppressed at low energies of probes. It has been known that the existing hierarchies of quark masses render this suppression at low energies rather natural. On th...
