Abstract

<p class="1Body">We derive the Higgs mass to be 123 GeV; we also show that the standard electroweak theory is false by highlighting the fact that the photon nevertheless receives a rest mass along with the Z boson despite the linear transformation known as the Weinberg angle.</p>

Highlights

Based on an established text (Quigg, 2013, in particular, pp. 121-127) we give a critical analysis of the standard electroweak model
We derive the Higgs mass to be 123 GeV; we show that the standard electroweak theory is false by highlighting the fact that the photon receives a rest mass along with the Z boson despite the linear transformation known as the Weinberg angle
We find four logical problems therein: (1) the connection from Lgauge to Lleptons, (2) failure to deduce the model implied Higgs mass to be 123 GeV, (3) failure of the linear transformation of the Weinberg angle to remove the photon as a recipient of a rest mass, and (4) unit incongruence in the identification of e = g sinθw

Summary

Introduction

Based on an established text (Quigg, 2013, in particular, pp. 121-127) we give a critical analysis of the standard electroweak model. 121-127) we give a critical analysis of the standard electroweak model. Weinberg after his paper in 1967 established a lower bound of the Higgs mass in 1976; Kant (2012) employed minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) to a numerical asymptotic expansion of the Higgs mass; Capdevilla et al (2015) sought to build a model to recover the well-publicized Higgs mass of 125 GeV. Researchers have taken the electroweak theory for granted and sought only to lay out the evolutionary details of how electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force became separated (see, e.g., Bhattacharyya, 2011). The Standard Electroweak Model is built upon a Lagrangian as assembled from the origin of the forces (“gauge”), their interactions with (anti) electrons and (anti) neutrinos (“leptons”), and the source of rest masses (“scalar”).
