Pdf the leptonic higgs as a messenger of dark matter. The standard model is the name given in the 1970s to a theory of fundamental particles and how they interact. Instead, the gauge eld of the broken symmetry becomes massive, and the wouldbe goldstone scalar becomes the longitudinal mode of the massive vector.
Higgs mechanism when a local rather than global symmetry is spontaneously broken, we do not get a massless goldstone boson. A0 pseudoscalar higgs boson mass limits in supersymmetric models. In the nonabelian case, for each spontaneously broken generator ta of the local symmetry the corresponding gauge eld aa x becomes massive. Next we discuss spin oscillation as the origin of mass for elementary particles that lead to the higgs field and the higgs mechanism, and, as with all other fields, a disturbance in the higgs filed should create a particle the higgs boson.
