We investigate the properties of a Finite Electroweak (FEW) Theory first proposed in 1991. The theory predicts a running of the electroweak coupling constants and a suppression of tree level amplitudes, ensuring unitarity without a Higgs particle. We demonstrate this explicitly by calculating W_L^+W_L^- -> W_L^+W_L^- and e+e- -> W_L^+W_L^- in both the electroweak Standard Model and the FEW model.

A finite electroweak model without a Higgs particle
• Physics
• 2008
An electroweak model in which the masses of the W and Z bosons and the fermions are generated by quantum loop graphs through a symmetry breaking is investigated. The model is based on a regularized

Abstract.An electroweak model with running coupling constants described by an energy dependent entire function is utraviolet complete and avoids unitarity violations for energies above 1 TeV. The

Unitarity In An Alternative Electroweak Theory
An electroweak (EW) model has been investigated (Moffat) in which the energy $E < \mu=\sqrt{\lambda}M_W$, where $\lambda$ is a gauge parameter and $M_W$ is the $W$ boson mass. For large enough

Electroweak Model Without A Higgs Particle
An electroweak model is formulated in a finite, four-dimensional quantum field theory without a Higgs particle. The W and Z masses are induced from the electroweak symmetry breaking of one-loop
PREDICTION OF THE TOP QUARK MASS IN A FINITE ELECTROWEAK THEORY

A parameter-free prediction of the top quark mass is obtained from the calculation of in a finite non-local electroweak theory, in which the W and Z gauge bosons acquire their masses through the
FINITE ELECTROWEAK THEORY WITHOUT A HIGGS PARTICLE
A unified electroweak theory is formulated using non-local field theory without including a Higgs particle. The W and Z gauge boson masses are induced from one-loop vacuum polarization graphs and the
Derivation of gauge invariance from high-energy unitarity bounds on the S matrix

A systematic search is made for all renormalizable theories of heavy vector bosons. It is argued that in any renormalizable Lagrangian theory high-energy unitarity bounds should not be violated in

It is suggested that the nucleon mass arises largely as a self-energy of some primary fermion field through the same mechanism as the appearance of energy gap in the theory of superconductivity. The

By varying the scale of nonlocality one can obtain gauge-invariant regularization schemes which are manifestly Poincar\'e invariant, perturbatively unitary, and free of automatic subtractions.
Introduction to quantum field theory
Even the uninitiated will know that Quantum Field Theory cannot be introduced systematically in just four lectures. I try to give a reasonably connected outline of part of it, from second
