Vortex profiles and vortex interactions at the electroweak crossover
arXiv:hep-lat/9909001 · doi:10.1016/S0920-5632(00)91741-9
Abstract
Local correlations of Z-vortex operators with gauge and Higgs fields (lattice quantum vortex profiles) as well as vortex two-point functions are studied in the crossover region near a Higgs mass of 100 GeV within the 3D SU(2) Higgs model. The vortex profiles resemble certain features of the classical vortex solutions in the continuum. The vortex-vortex interactions are analogous to the interactions of Abrikosov vortices in a type-I superconductor.
