A note on the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism — •Jochum van der Bij — Albert-Ludwigs Universitaet Freiburg, Deutschland

To generate masses for the particles in the standard model a Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) field is necessary. However a field is not a particle. I present here a construction whereby the BEH-field has a partly continuous spectrum. The theory is a renormalizable theory beyond the textbook examples. It is only mildly constrained by the LHC data. In order to fully test the theory both an e+e- collider and a muon collider are needed. These experiments can give us information about extra dimensions beyond the three known ones, that are not accessible to charged particles.
