Dynamics of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in the Weinberg-Salam Theory
@article{Susskind1979DynamicsOS, title={Dynamics of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in the Weinberg-Salam Theory}, author={Leonard Susskind}, journal={Physical Review D}, year={1979}, volume={20}, pages={2619-2625} }
We argue that the existence of fundamental scalar fields constitutes a serious flaw of the Weinberg-Salam theory. A possible scheme without such fields is described. The symmetry breaking is induced by a new strongly interacting sector whose natural scale is of the order of a few TeV.

ELECTROWEAK SYMMETRY BREAKING DUE TO CONFINEMENT
- Physics
- 2000
Within the framework of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, we consider an electroweak symmetry breaking pattern in which there is no conventional Cl term. The pattern is made appealing through…
Electroweak symmetry breaking in other terms
- Physics

We analyse descriptions of electroweak symmetry breaking in terms of ultralocal antisymmetric tensor fields and gauge-singlet geometric variables, respectively; in particular, the Weinberg–Salam…
Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
- Physics
- 2014
Our work belongs to the category of beyond-Standard models where the electroweak symmetry is broken dynamically. It is closely related to the main representatives of this category, to the (Extended-)…
Spontaneous parity violation in SUSY strong gauge theory
- Physics

We suggest simple models of spontaneous parity violation in supersymmetric strong gauge theory. We focus on left-right symmetric model and investigate vacuum with spontaneous parity violation.…
Spontaneous CP Symmetry Breaking in Top-condensation Models
- Physics
- 2005
In this thesis we study top-condensation models of electroweak symmetry breaking. In particular we investigate a scenario in which the CP symmetry is broken spontaneously due to the same condensates…
Unnatural origin of fermion masses for technicolor
- Physics
- 2010
We explore the scenario in which the breaking of the electroweak symmetry is due to the simultaneous presence and interplay of a dynamical sector and an unnatural elementary Higgs. We introduce a low…
