Strongly Interacting Higgs Sector without Technicolor

TL;DR

This paper presents simulation results indicating a heavy Higgs in the TeV range within a higher derivative regulated Standard Model, demonstrating a strongly interacting Higgs sector without the need for technicolor.

Contribution

It provides a finite, unitary model with a higher derivative regulator showing a strongly interacting Higgs sector without technicolor, supported by simulation data.

Findings

Heavy Higgs in the TeV range identified

Presence of a complex conjugate ghost pair at higher energies

Model remains finite and unitary in the continuum

Abstract

Simulation results are presented on Higgs mass calculations in the spontaneously broken phase of the Higgs sector in the minimal Standard Model with a higher derivative regulator. A heavy Higgs particle is found in the TeV mass range in the presence of a complex conjugate ghost pair at higher energies. The ghost pair evades easy experimental detection. As a finite and unitary theory in the continuum, this model serves as an explicit and simple example of a strongly interacting Higgs sector without technicolor.
