Outline of Final Research Achievements |
What is the origin of the Higgs boson discovered at LHC? If our spacetime has more than four dimensions, the Higgs boson appears completely different from that in the standard model. We have proposed the gauge-Higgs unification scenario in which the four-dimensional Higgs boson is identified with the extra-dimensional component of the gauge potentials defined in five dimensions. Surprisingly the gauge-Higgs unification model yields almost the same phenomenology at low energies as the standard model. It predicts that new particles such as Z prime particles in the energy range 6 TeV to 8 TeV, which should be confirmed at 14 TeV LHC. The confirmation will support the existence of extra dimensions, hereby leading to the new vision and perspective of spacetime.
