Christos Lazaridis Preliminary Examination Higgs • Standard electroweak theory predicts W± and Z of zero mass • Experiment tells us that the weak force is short-range, so its carriers must be massive • The Higgs field gives mass to these three bosons by spontaneously breaking the SU(2)xSU(1) symmetry • The Higgs coupling to other particles determines their masses • Stronger coupling Higher mass • Couples to self • Small problem: • Theory cannot predict the Higgs mass
