The QCD vacuum as a disordered chromomagnetic condensate
Paolo Cea
An attempt is made to describe from first principles the large-scale structure of the confining vacuum in quantum chromodynamics. Starting from our previous variational studies of…
The Higgs condensate as a quantum liquid: A critical comparison with observations
Paolo Cea
The triviality of four-dimensional scalar quantum field theories poses challenging problems to the usually adopted perturbative implementation of the Higgs mechanism. In the first…
The Higgs condensate as a quantum liquid: Comparison with the full Run 2 CMS data
Paolo Cea
We compare our proposal for an additional heavy Standard Model Higgs boson to the available full data set collected by the CMS detector during Run 2 at the Large Hadron Collider (L…
The Higgs condensate as a quantum liquid: Comparison with the ATLAS full Run 2 data
Paolo Cea
Recently, we proposed to picture the Higgs condensate of the Standard Model as a quantum liquid analogous to the superfluid Helium II. In this scenario the Higgs condensate excitat…
The Higgs condensate as a quantum liquid
Paolo Cea
We model the Higgs condensate of the Standard Model as a relativistic quantum fluid analogous to superfluid helium. We find that the low-lying excitations of the Higgs condensate b…
Two mass scales for the Higgs field?
Paolo Cea, Maurizio Consoli, Leonardo Cosmai
In the original version of the theory, the driving mechanism for spontaneous symmetry breaking was identified in the pure scalar sector. However, this old idea requires a heavy Hig…
