Electroweak-Symmetry Restored Stars | |||||

Abstract |
We investigate the structure of high density, compact objects composed of heavy quark interacting with the Higgs boson. Utilizing the strong coupling between the top quark and Higgs, these objects feature a symmetry restored Higgs and massless quark core with a transition to a crust of massive quarks and normal vacuum. We utilize a modified Higgs potential that preserves the relevant properties of the Higgs in the symmetry broken phase, but modifies the symmetry restored vacuum. |
