Instanton-Like Processes in Particle Collisions: a Numerical Study of the SU(2)-Higgs Theory below the Sphaleron Energy

F. Bezrukov, C. Rebbi, V. Rubakov +1

We use semiclassical methods to calculate the probability of inducing a change of topology via a high-energy collision in the SU(2)-Higgs theory. This probability is determined by…
