Description
The description of the Higgs mechanism as a spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetry has been hugely successfull in describing the electroweak sector. Despite this success, it is theoretically inconsistent and leads to explicit gauge dependence beyond the mass determination. The Frohlich-Morchio-Strocchi (FMS) framework maintains the successfull mass determination of the textbook Higgs mechanism, while providing a consistent picture for e.g. spectral density functions. In this talk I will discuss how, following the FMS construction, subleading Higgs effects will come into play which could be detectable in (near) future colliders.
