Dynamics of spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Weinberg-Salam theory

Year: 1979

Type: article

Abstract: 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.
