First mass determination of electroweak vortex rings in the Standard Model
Abstract
We report the first rigorous evaluation of the physical mass of electroweak vortex rings, establishing precise values of 18.01 and 26.80 TeV for solutions characterized by different winding numbers. Analysis of the internal structure reveals that repulsive interactions shape the geometry of these configurations, while complex current distributions lead to a neutral analogue of Ampere's circuital law, suggesting a corresponding self-stabilizing pinch mechanism. These findings set the energy scales for the potential observation of such configurations at future colliders and offer a framework for understanding topological structures in the Standard Model.
