Even before the Higgs was discovered, Krauss was wondering if
other scalar fields could couple to the Higgs field, offering links to new physical phenomena.
Even before the Higgs was discovered, physicist Lawrence Krauss of Arizona State University in Tempe was wondering if
other scalar fields existed that could interact with the Higgs field.
Not exact matches
Unlike
other fields in the standard model, the Higgs
field is
scalar — it does not act in a specific direction.
Discovered last year, the Higgs boson also comes with an associated
field but, unlike
others of its class, the Higgs
field is
scalar — it does not act in a specific direction.
I should point out that there are
other explanations for
scalar fields as well, but string theory does seem to give those naturally to you.
