Abstract
Due to the peculiar nature of the underlying medium, density fluctuations in a `Higgs condensate' are predicted to propagate for infinitely long wavelengths with a group velocity . On the other hand, for any large but finite there is a weak, attractive potential of strength and the energy spectrum deviates from the purely massive form \sqrt{p}^2 + M^2_h} at momenta smaller than . Physically, the length scale corresponds to the mean free-path for the elementary constituents in the condensate and would naturally be placed in the millimeter range.
