The Higgs condensate as a quantum liquid: Comparison with the ATLAS full Run 2 data

TL;DR

This paper models the Higgs condensate as a quantum liquid and compares its predictions with the ATLAS Run 2 data, finding consistency despite no clear evidence for a heavy Higgs boson.

Contribution

It introduces a novel quantum liquid model of the Higgs condensate and compares its predictions with recent experimental data.

Findings

No statistically significant evidence for the heavy Higgs in data

Model remains consistent with observed data

Supports the quantum liquid analogy for the Higgs condensate

Abstract

Recently, we proposed to picture the Higgs condensate of the Standard Model as a quantum liquid analogous to the superfluid Helium II. In this scenario the Higgs condensate excitations resemble closely two Standard Model Higgs bosons. The lightest Higgs boson was already identified with the LHC narrow resonance at 125 GeV. Concerning the heavy Higgs boson, we found preliminary evidence in our previous phenomenological analysis in the so-called golden channel. In the present note we compared our proposal to the full Run 2 data set released recently by the ATLAS Collaboration. Even though we do not found a clear statistical evidence for our Standard Model heavy Higgs, we found that our theoretical proposal is still in accordance with the available observations.
