On mass-shell renormalizability of the massive Yang-Mills theory
/ Authors
/ Abstract
Renormalizable theory of electroweak interactions without scalar particles can be constructed by the modifying the Standard Model. One should remove all terms with the scalar field from the Lagrangian in the unitary gauge. The resulting electroweak theory without the Higgs particle is on mass-shell renormalizable and unitary. Thus the experimental non-observation of the Higgs boson will not mean a problem for the concept of renormalizability in quantum field theory but will confirm the scalar free theory.
