On the utility and implication of convex effective potential for the Higgs particles

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v3 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

It is suggested that within the effective potential approach, convexity and spontaneous symmetry breaking(SSB) make the Higgs modes (elementary or effective) complicated in that the normal final states (experimentally identifiable) for Higgs modes could not be analytically defined. This observation might have some nontrivial consequences for the Standard Model (SM) and particle physics.
