Confronting Einstein Yang Mills Higgs Dark Energy in light of observations

TL;DR

This paper investigates an Einstein Yang Mills Higgs Dark Energy model, constraining its parameters with recent observational data, and finds it can successfully explain the universe's current accelerated expansion.

Contribution

It introduces and tests a Higgs field-based dark energy model within Einstein Yang Mills theory against latest observational data.

Findings

Higgs field with gauge fields can account for accelerated expansion

Model parameters are consistent with supernovae, Hubble, BAO, and CMB data

Supports Higgs-based dark energy as a viable explanation

Abstract

We study the observational aspects of Einstein Yang Mills Higgs Dark energy model and constrain the parameter space from the latest observational data from type Ia supernovae, observational Hubble data, baryon acoustic oscillation data and cosmic microwave background radiation shift parameter data. It is found from the analysis of data that the Higgs field in presence of gauge fields can successfully describe the present accelerated expansion of the universe consistent with the astrophysical observations.
