Non-adiabatic quantum effects from a Standard Model time-dependent Higgs vev
arXiv:hep-th/0702175 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2007.05.015
Abstract
We consider the time-dependence of the Higgs vacuum expectation value (vev) given by the dynamics of the Standard Model and study the non-adiabatic production of both bosons and fermions, which is intrinsically non-perturbative. In the Hartree approximation, we analyse the general expressions that describe the dissipative dynamics due to the back-reaction of the produced particles. In particular, we solve numerically some relevant cases for the Standard Model phenomenology in the regime of relatively small oscillations of the Higgs vev.
