Spontaneous Symmetry Breakdown and Critical Perspectives of Higgs\n Mechanism

Nils M. Bezares-Roder, Hemwati Nandan

Abstract

The foundations of the mass generation mechanism of particles are reviewed.\nThe Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB) process within the standard model (SM)\nand the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) is used to explore the\npresent status of the Higgs Mechanism along with the constraints in detecting\nthe Higgs particles in experiments. The possible explanations and\ngeneralizations for the case that the Higgs particles should not appear or to\ncouple the Higgs Mechanism (because of their gravitational nature of\ninteraction) are also iscussed in detail in view of the Higgs field gravity.\n
