Description

As long as a Higgs boson is not observed, the design of alternative mechanisms for electroweak symmetry breaking remains of interest. The question addressed here is whether there are possibly non-perturbative mechanisms, which deconfine SU(2) at zero temperature and generate massive vector bosons. Results for a model with a mixing interaction of SU(2) and U(1) gauge fields, which is invariant under unified SU(2)$\otimes$U(1) gauge transformations, are presented.
