Measurements of the Higgs Boson in the H - τ τ decay channel by Howard, JR

“…<p>The generation of vector boson mass via the Higgs mechanism in the Standard Model has been confirmed by the 2012 discovery of a candidate Higgs boson in the <em>H</em>→<em>WW</em>, <em>H</em>→<em>ZZ</em>, and <em>H</em>→γγ decay channels. …”

Symmetric Gapped Interfaces of SPT and SET States: Systematic Constructions by Wang, Juven, Wen, Xiao-Gang, Witten, Edward

“…In contrast to known gapped boundaries or interfaces obtained via symmetry breaking (either global symmetry breaking or the Anderson-Higgs mechanism for gauge theory), our approach is based on symmetry extension. …”

Holographic Non-Abelian Flavour Symmetry Breaking by Johanna Erdmenger, Nick Evans, Yang Liu, Werner Porod

“…The quark masses are spontaneously generated field values in the bulk and there is a resultant bulk Higgs mechanism. We provide a numerical technique to find the mass eigenvalues from a system of mixed holographic fields, testing it against an analytic model of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi mathvariant="script">N</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>2</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> supersymmetric matter fields. …”

SU(2) Yang–Mills Theory: Waves, Particles, and Quantum Thermodynamics by Ralf Hofmann

“…Effectively, such a “nervous” microscopic situation gives rise to two static phenomena: finite ground-state energy density ρ gs and pressure P gs with ρ gs = − P gs as well as the (adjoint) Higgs mechanism. The peripheries of HS (anti)calorons are static and resemble (anti)selfdual dipole fields whose apparent dipole moments are determined by | ϕ | and T, protecting them against deformation potentially caused by overlap. …”

A search for massive resonances in final states with boosted top-antitop pairs decaying into a lepton and jets with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider by Behr, J

“…Massive new particles that preferentially decay to top quarks are predicted by a number of theoretical models that have been proposed to address various open questions in the currently established Standard Model of Particle Physics, in particular those related to the Higgs mechanism through which elementary particles acquire mass.…”

Hadronic Isospin Helicity and the Consequent <i>SU</i>(4) Gauge Theory by Eckart Marsch, Yasuhito Narita

Vector boson scattering processes: Status and prospects by Diogo Buarque Franzosi, Michele Gallinaro, Richard Ruiz, Thea K. Aarrestad, Flavia Cetorelli, Mauro Chiesa, Antonio Costantini, Ansgar Denner, Stefan Dittmaier, Robert Franken, Pietro Govoni, Tao Han, Ashutosh V. Kotwal, Jinmian Li, Kristin Lohwasser, Kenneth Long, Yang Ma, Luca Mantani, Matteo Marchegiani, Mathieu Pellen, Giovanni Pelliccioli, Karolos Potamianos, Jürgen Reuter, Timo Schmidt, Christopher Schwan, Michał Szleper, Rob Verheyen, Keping Xie, Rao Zhang

“…The scattering of EW bosons are rare processes that are precisely predicted in the Standard Model (SM) and are closely related to the Higgs mechanism. Modifications to VBS processes are also predicted in models of physics beyond the SM (BSM), for example through changes to the Higgs boson couplings to gauge bosons and the resonant production of new particles. …”

Gauge Invariance and Symmetry Breaking by Topology and Energy Gap by Franco Strocchi, Carlo Heissenberg

“…Symmetries that do not commute with the topological invariants represented by elements of Z are then spontaneously broken in each irreducible representation of the observable algebra, compatibly with an energy gap; such a breaking exhibits a mechanism radically different from Goldstone and Higgs mechanisms. This is clearly displayed by the quantum particle on a circle, the Bloch electron and the two body problem.…”

Rescuing massive photons from the Swampland by Nathaniel Craig, Isabel Garcia Garcia

Heavy-lifting of gauge theories by cosmic inflation by Soubhik Kumar, Raman Sundrum

“…We distinguish two types of Higgs mechanisms: (i) a standard one in which the Higgs scale is constant before and after inflation, where the particles observable in non-Gaussianities are far heavier than can be accessed by laboratory experiments, perhaps associated with gauge unification, and (ii) a “heavy-lifting” mechanism in which couplings to curvature can result in Higgs scales of order the Hubble scale during inflation while reducing to far lower scales in the current era, where they may now be accessible to collider and other laboratory experiments. …”

Scattering amplitudes for all masses and spins by Nima Arkani-Hamed, Tzu-Chen Huang, Yu-tin Huang

“…The Higgs and Super-Higgs mechanisms are naturally discovered as an infrared unification of many disparate helicity amplitudes into a smaller number of massive amplitudes, with a simple understanding for why this can’t be extended to Higgsing for gravitons. …”
