A spectroscopical analysis of the phase diagram of Yang-Mills-Higgs theory

Understand

Yang-Mills-Higgs theory, being the standard-model Higgs sector for a suitable choice of gauge and custodial group, offers a rich set of physics.

• In particular, in some region of its parameter space it has QCD-like behavior, while in some other region it is Higgs-like.
• Therefore, it is possible to study a plethora of phenomena within a single theory.
• Here, the physics of the standard-model version is studied using lattice gauge theory.
