单词 | Higgs field |
释义 | Higgs field The symmetry-breaking field associated with a Higgs boson. The Higgs field can either be an elementary scalar quantity or the field associated with a bound state of two fermions. In the Weinberg-Salam model, the Higgs field is taken to be a scalar field. It is not known whether this assumption is correct, although attempts to construct electroweak theory involving bound states for the Higgs field, known as technicolour theory , have not been successful. Higgs fields also occur in many-body systems, which can be expressed in terms of quantum field theory with Higgs bosons; an example is the BCS theory of superconductivity, in which the Higgs field is associated with a Cooper pair, rather than an elementary scalar field |
