Description
We discuss how a recently discovered non-perturbative field-theoretical mechanism giving mass to elementary fermions can be extended to generate a mass for the electro-weak bosons, when weak interactions are introduced, and can thus be used as a viable alternative to the Higgs scenario. We will show that this new scheme, tested in extensive lattice simulations, offers a solution of the mass naturalness problem, an understanding of the fermion mass hierarchy and a physical interpretation of the electro-weak scale.
