Abstract

Recently the Bose-Einstein phenomenon has been proposed as possible physical mechanism underlying the spontaneous symmetry breaking in cold gauge theories. The mechanism is natural and we use it to drive the electroweak symmetry breaking. It can be implemented in different ways while here we present a simple model in which the Bose-Einstein sector is felt only indirectly by all of the standard model fields. The structure of the corrections due to the new mechanism is general and independent on the model used here leading to experimental signatures which can be disentangled from other known extensions of the standard model.
