The Higgs mechanism
Ingredients:
a scalar field
continuous symmetries = gauge symmetries
vacuum
Result:
the symmetry is spontaneously broken y y y
the scalar field develops a vacuum expectation
value (vev)
other fields can acquire masses due to the vev
VU lecture World of Particles Thomas Gajdosik, FI & VU
symmetry breaking y y g
example: chess
the rules of chess are in principle the rules of chess are in principle
absolutely symmetric for both players
i.e. the rules how the pieces move are
the same for black and white the same for black and white
but:
symmetry is broken at the beginning symmetry is broken at the beginning,
due to the initial setup of the pieces
therefore, e.g. a bishop never can
change the color of the field it is change the color of the field it is
standing on

symmetry breaking
In the standard model, the particles masses are an effect of symmetry breaking:
y y g
the origin of mass
originally, all particles are massless
but there is an additional interaction with the so-called Higgs-field
if there were no Higgs-field, the interaction would have no effect
however due to a spontaneous symmetry breaking the whole universe however, due to a spontaneous symmetry breaking, the whole universe
is filled with a non-zero Higgs-field
the interaction with this omni-present field produces what we know
as mass of particles
