Higgs and W boson spectrum from lattice simulations
Mark Wurtz, Randy Lewis
TL;DR
This study uses lattice simulations to compute the energy spectrum of the SU(2)-Higgs model, revealing multi-boson states consistent with weakly-interacting Higgs and W bosons, aligning with experimental data.
Contribution
It provides the first lattice-based spectrum analysis of the Higgs-W boson sector with gauge-invariant operators matching experimental parameters.
Findings
Multiple multi-boson states observed
Energy levels consistent with weakly-interacting Higgs and W bosons
Operators used are gauge-invariant and quadratic in scalar field
Abstract
The spectrum of energy levels is computed for all available angular momentum and parity quantum numbers in the SU(2)-Higgs model, with parameters chosen to match experimental data from the Higgs-W boson sector of the standard model. Several multi-boson states are observed, with and without linear momentum, and all are consistent with weakly-interacting Higgs and W bosons. The creation operators used in this study are gauge-invariant so, for example, the Higgs operator is quadratic rather than linear in the Lagrangian's scalar field.
