Spontaneous Symmetry Breakdown and Critical Perspectives of Higgs Mechanism

TL;DR

This paper reviews the theoretical foundations and experimental challenges of the Higgs mechanism, focusing on spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Standard Model and supersymmetry, and explores alternative explanations involving gravity.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive analysis of the Higgs mechanism's theoretical basis, experimental constraints, and potential gravitational interactions that could explain the absence of detectable Higgs particles.

Findings

Constraints on Higgs detection in experiments

Possible gravitational coupling of Higgs particles

Theoretical exploration of Higgs absence scenarios

Abstract

The foundations of the mass generation mechanism of particles are reviewed. The Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB) process within the standard model (SM) and the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) is used to explore the present status of the Higgs Mechanism along with the constraints in detecting the Higgs particles in experiments. The possible explanations and generalizations for the case that the Higgs particles should not appear or to couple the Higgs Mechanism (because of their gravitational nature of interaction) are also iscussed in detail in view of the Higgs field gravity.
