Similarities between neutrinos and Higgs bosons within a chiral supersymmetric formulation

TL;DR

This paper explores a theoretical framework where neutrinos exhibit similarities to Higgs bosons within a chiral supersymmetric model, suggesting neutrinos might play a role in spontaneous symmetry breaking traditionally attributed to Higgs fields.

Contribution

It proposes a novel theoretical analogy between neutrinos and Higgs bosons using a chiral supersymmetric formulation, challenging conventional views on symmetry breaking.

Findings

Lagrangian contains terms similar to mass terms for W and Z bosons with neutrino fields

Neutrinos could potentially replace Higgs bosons in spontaneous symmetry breaking

Theoretical analogy between neutrinos and Higgs within supersymmetric models

Abstract

Taking into account the helicity of a massless particle, which obeys a Dirac equation and is exposed to an electromagnetic field, one soon arrives at a Lagrangian containing a chiral supersymmetric operator. We can even achieve an analogous result in case of an electroweak interaction. Then the Lagrangian contains terms that look very similar to those usually being interpreted as mass terms for the W and Z bosons appearing in models of spontaneous symmetry breaking, but this time they are accompanied by neutrino fields instead of Higgs fields. This invites us to a speculation that in the procedure of spontaneous symmetry breaking, neutrinos could take on the role, which we normally ascribe to the Higgs bosons.
