Energy barrier in the two-Higgs model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

The electroweak model is extended by a second Higgs doublet and a numerical investigation of static, finite energy classical solutions is performed. The results indicate that for a large domain of the parameters of the Higgs potential, the energy barrier between topologically distinct vacua of the Lagrangian is constituted by a bisphaleron.
