Skyrmion solutions to the Weinberg-Salam model

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5583121
We find a spherically symmetric solution to the gauged SU(2)/sub L/ x SU(2)/sub R/ chiral model. It corresponds to a new classical solution to the Weinberg-Salam model in the limit of infinite Higgs mass and sin/sup 2/theta/sub W/ - 0. It has an energy of 11.6 TeV and is classically unstable under small perturbations of the fields. Quantum corrections may stabilize the solution via the introduction of higher order terms in the effective action, and would change its energy.
