The Higgs condensate as a quantum liquid

Abstract

We model the Higgs condensate of the Standard Model as a relativistic quantum fluid analogous to superfluid helium. We find that the low-lying excitations of the Higgs condensate behave like two relativistic Higgs fields. The lighter Higgs boson has a mass of order $10^2$ GeV. We identify this light Higgs particle with the new LHC resonance at 125 GeV. The heavy Higgs boson has a mass around 750 GeV consistent with our recent phenomenological analysis of the preliminary LHC Run 2 data in the golden channel. We critical compare our theoretical scenario with two Higgs bosons to the available LHC Run 2 data.
