Dark Side of the Standard Model: Dormant New Physics Awaken

Abstract

We find that the nonperturbative physics of the standard-model Higgs Lagrangian provides a dark matter candidate, "dormant skyrmion in the standard model", the same type of the skyrmion, a soliton, as in the hadron physics. It is stabilized by another nonperturbative object in the standard model, the dynamical gauge boson of the hidden local symmetry, which is also an analogue of the rho meson.
