Long-Lived Higgs Modes in Strongly Correlated Condensates in Physical Review Letters

in ,

ISC-Director José Lorenzana  has recently collaborated on a compelling research work that appeared  in Physical Review Letters. J. Lorenzana and G. Seibold, Long-Lived Higgs Modes in Strongly Correlated Condensates, Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 026501 (2024).

Condensed matter physics and high-energy physics has cross fertilizing each other for decades. One paradigmatic example is superconductivity, where Anderson’s mechanism giving mass to the Goldstone mode in a superconductor was taken by Higgs to explain mass generation in the

Standard model of elementary particles.… Read the rest
