Light Higgs channel of the resonant decay of magnon condensate in superfluid 3He-B

The order parameter describing the spontaneous symmetry breaking which occurs when a system becomes a superfluid is analogous to the Higgs field in particle physics from which the Higgs boson arises. Here, the authors demonstrate the existence of a light Higgs boson in the B-phase of superfluid3He.
