Quantum gauge models without (classical) Higgs mechanism (original) (raw)

Abstract

AI

This paper examines the limitations of the Higgs mechanism within the Standard Model (SM) and suggests alternative quantum gauge models that do not rely on the classical Higgs mechanism. The analysis includes a comparison of current findings with historical perspectives on spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB), highlighting theoretical and experimental challenges in understanding the Higgs sector. The authors advocate for a re-evaluation of the scalar sector's role in particle physics, emphasizing the need for more fundamental theoretical frameworks.
