Is the Higgs a visible particle?
We suggest that the Higgs might be unobservable as a free particle, due to its origin at a symmetry-breaking mechanism. The standard model is kept intact, only the definition of the vacuum for the Higgs is changed. With the new (natural) definition, the Higgs propagator is half-advanced and half-ret...

| Sumario: | We suggest that the Higgs might be unobservable as a free particle, due to its origin at a symmetry-breaking mechanism. The standard model is kept intact, only the definition of the vacuum for the Higgs is changed. With the new (natural) definition, the Higgs propagator is half-advanced and half-retarded. This Green’s function is compatible with the absence of free particles. |
