Issues in standard model symmetry breaking

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:5149361
This work discusses the symmetry breaking sector of the SU(2) {times} U(1) electroweak model. The first two chapters discuss Higgs masses in two simple Higgs models. In chapter III, the author proves low-energy theorems for the symmetry breaking sector: the threshold behavior of gauge-boson scattering is completely determined, whenever the symmetry breaking sector meets certain simple conditions. In the final chapter, he uses these theorems to derive event rates for the super-conducting super collider (SSC). He shows that the SSC may be able to determine whether the interactions of the symmetry breaking sector are strong or weak.
