Electroweak Higgs potential and vacuum stability

M Sher - Physics reports, 1989 - Elsevier
In electroweak models, radiative corrections to the scalar potential can have significant
consequences. In the standard model, they can destabilize the standard model vacuum; the …

Simple rules for discontinuities in finite-temperature field theory

HA Weldon - Physical Review D, 1983 - APS
The discontinuity, or imaginary part, of the self-energy function at T≠= 0 is found to be of the
form Γ= Γ d∓ Γ i for bosons and fermions, respectively. The generalized decay rate Γ d and …
