At Edinburgh, Higgs first became interested in mass, developing the idea that particles – massless when the universe began – acquired mass a fraction of a second later as a result of interacting with a theoretical field (which became known as the Higgs field). Higgs postulated that this field permeates space, giving mass to all elementary ...
28 feb 2017 · Since, however, P&S put the v.e.v. downstairs in the Higgs doublet, that is the neutral component, so the upper one is charge +1, hence hypercharge 1/2. By contrast, Srednicki puts the v.e.v. upstairs, (87.4), so the lower component has charge -1, hence hypercharge -1/2. The averaging halves the units since one of the two components is neutral!
The Higgs boson is that particle, and its discovery in 2012 confirmed the BEH mechanism and the Higgs field, allowing researchers to probe ever further in their understanding of matter. Measuring the properties of the Higgs boson in detail is crucial to exploring many outstanding mysteries in particle physics and cosmology, from the wild ...
26 mar 2021 · Higgs Field by NGC 3019, released 26 March 2021 Mysterious and vaguely vaporwavey, the synth songs on the latest from Stefan Smith hover like distant mirages, opaque and beguiling.
The links to gauge field and scalar field may be satisfactory to the routine reader, but I think to novice readers, albeit interested, this is not very helpful. If gauge fields or scalar fields are relevant to understanding the Higgs field, this should be explained in more detail (and understandibly).
Zero-point energy ( ZPE) is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system may have. Unlike in classical mechanics, quantum systems constantly fluctuate in their lowest energy state as described by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. [1] Therefore, even at absolute zero, atoms and molecules retain some vibrational motion.
