Is the standard Higgs scalar elementary?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

In the standard electroweak model, the measured top quark mass requires a sizeable Yukawa coupling to the fundamental scalar. This large coupling alone might induce a dynamical breaking of the electroweak symmetry as well as non-perturbative effects. If such is the case, even a standard Higgs scalar as light as 80 GeV should have a non-negligible ttˉt \bar{t} component induced by the top condensate.
