Electroweak Strings: A Progress Report

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

I describe the string solutions in the standard electroweak model and argue that they may be stabilized by quark, lepton or other bound states. I then reinterpret the sphaleron in terms of electroweak strings and show that it can be viewed as a loop of W-string or a segment of Z-string. (Talk presented at Texas/Pascos 1992 at Berkeley.)
