i f i l t d k• massive fermions: leptons and quarks• massive vector bosons: W± and Z0

• Solution: the Higgs mechanism


The Higgs mechanism

• Ingredients:• a scalar field • continuous symmetries = gauge symmetries• vacuum

• Result:• the symmetry is spontaneously brokeny y y• the scalar field develops a vacuum expectation

value (vev)• other fields can acquire masses due to the vev


symmetry breakingy y g

example: chess

• the rules of chess are in principle• the rules of chess are in principleabsolutely symmetric for both players

• i.e. the rules how the pieces move arethe same for black and whitethe same for black and white

but:

• symmetry is broken at the beginning• symmetry is broken at the beginning,due to the initial setup of the pieces

• therefore, e.g. a bishop never canchange the color of the field it ischange the color of the field it isstanding on


symmetry breaking

In the standard model, the particle‘s masses are an effect of symmetry breaking:

y y gthe origin of mass

• originally, all particles are massless • but there is an additional interaction with the so-called Higgs-field• if there were no Higgs-field, the interaction would have no effect• however due to a spontaneous symmetry breaking the whole universe• however, due to a spontaneous symmetry breaking, the whole universe is filled with a non-zero Higgs-field

• the interaction with this omni-present field produces what we know as mass of particles

energy hot universe(shortly after big bang)

particles are massless

cold universe(condensed into anasymmetric state)
