Bound States in the Hot Electroweak Phase
arXiv:hep-ph/9509352 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(95)01269-9
Abstract
The high temperature phase of the electroweak standard theory is described by a strongly coupled SU(2)-Higgs-model in three dimensions. As in the Abbott-Farhi-model Higgs and W-boson are low lying bound states. Using a method by Simonov based on the Feynman-Schwinger representation of correlators we calculate the masses of these states. Our results are compared with lattice masses.
