Abstract

Even at weak coupling the physical, observable spectrum of gauge theories with a Brout-Englert-Higgs effect can deviate from the elementary one of perturbation theory. This can be analytically described and treated using the Fröhlich-Morchio-Strocchi mechanism. We confirm this by lattice simulation for an SU(3) gauge theory with a fundamental scalar, a toy model for grand unification. We also show that this has experimentally observable consequence, e.g., in scattering cross-sections of lepton collisions in this toy model.

Discussions

• We have published a preliminary study on how phenomenology based on the field theory of #BroutEnglertHiggs physics, improving on standard methods, would work, see https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.11373 Sti [bsky, 0 points, 0 comments]
