Recall structure of U(1) local gauge theory with single spin-1 gauge field A µ : L = 1 4 F µνf µν where F µν = ν A µ µ A ν mass term m 2 A µ A ν not gauge invariant massless gauge boson A Possible solution: add complex scalar field φ with charge e: L = 1 4 F µνf µν + D µ φ 2 V (φ) where V (φ) = µ 2 φ 2 + λ φ 4 If µ 2 > 0: unique minimum at φ = 0 QED with M A = 0 and M φ = µ Reverse sign of µ 2 so that V (φ) = µ 2 φ 2 + λ φ 4 minimum of potential at µ2 2λ v 2 Expand φ around vacuum expectation value: φ = 1 2 (v + + iχ) L = 1 4 F µνf µν µ µ + µ χ µ χ e2 v 2 A µ A µ + eva µ µ χ ea µ (χ µ µ χ) e2 A µ A µ ( 2 + χ 2 ) V (φ) Michael Krämer Page 8 Italo-ellenic School of Physics 2006

10 Spontaneous symmetry breaking I: the ABEGK t Mechanism? John Earman, Philosopher, on the need to choose a specific gauge to suppress Goldstone bosons and generate masses for gauge bosons: A genuine property like mass cannot be gained by eating descriptive fluff, which is just what gauge is Michael Krämer Page 10 Italo-ellenic School of Physics 2006

Perhaps something will come of it... Michael Krämer Page 12 Italo-ellenic School of Physics 2006

( walking technicolour ) ow to accomodate the large top quark mass? ( topcolour assisted technicolour ) Michael Krämer Page 14 Italo-ellenic School of Physics 2006

15 EWSB: fundamental iggs boson or fermion condensate? fundamental iggs boson + simple and predictive + consistent with precision data no dynamical explanation of EWSB fundamental scalar has never been observed in nature fermion condensate + analogous to existing mechanisms (BCS, QCD) + no fundamental scalar no naturalness problem less predictive (strongly interacting theorie) no realistic and compelling models(?) iggs mass unstable under radiative corrections: why is M iggs M Planck? (naturalness problem) Michael Peskin, EPS 99: The idea that the data drives us to a weak-coupling picture of the iggs boson was controversial at EP99. Among the people arguing vocally on the other side were olger Nielsen and Gerard t ooft. So if you do not wish to accept this argument, you are in good company (but still wrong).

18 The profile of the Standard Model iggs boson The iggs kinetic term L D µ Φ 2 also includes iggs gauge-boson interactions: D µ Φ 2 ( g 2 W 4 W + µ W µ + gw 2 ) ( 8 cos 2 Z µ Z 2 µ + 2v ) θ W = g W M W W + µ W µ + g W 2 cos θ W M Z Z µ Z µ + g2 W 4 W + µ W µ 2 + g 2 W 8 cos 2 θ W Z µ Z µ 2 The iggs potential V = µ 2 φ 2 + λ φ 4 expanded around the vacuum state Φ = 1/ 2(0, v) becomes V = 1 2 (2λv2 ) 2 + λv 3 + λ 4 4 λ 4 v4 yielding a iggs mass M = 2λv 2 and cubic and quartic iggs self-couplings.

This yields an electron mass term L G ev 2 (ē L e R + ē R e L ) = G ev 2 ēe The Yukawa coupling G e is related to the electron mass m e by G e = g W m e 2MW There is also an interaction between the electron and the iggs L g W m e 2M W ēe Michael Krämer Page 19 Italo-ellenic School of Physics 2006
