Chiral transition in a strongly coupled fermion-gauge-scalar model
Abstract
We report the recent results from the computer simulations of a fermion-gauge-scalar model with dynamical chiral-symmetry breaking and chiral transition induced by the scalar field. This model might be considered to be a possible alternative to the Higgs mechanism of mass generation. A new scheme is developed for detecting the chiral transition. Our results show with higher precision than the earlier works that the chiral transition line joins the Higgs phase transition line, separating the Higgs and Nambu (chiral-symmetry breaking) phases. The end point of the Higgs transition with divergent correlation lengths is therefore suitable for an investigation of the continuum limit.
