A Klein-Gordon Field is a Quantum Field that obeys the Klein-Gordon Equation. It Describes Scalar, or Spin-0 Fields, including the famous elemwentary Higgs Field,.
Lagrangian Density[]
The Lagrangian Density of a free Klein-Gordon Field is given by:
This can easily, trivially, be derived through the Klein-Gordon Equation along with the Euler-Lagrange Equation.
In the non-free case, replace the 's with 's.
Higgs Field[]
- Main Article: Higgs Field
The Higgs Field is the first and so far, only elementary Klein-Gordon Field observed experimentally (at the Large Hadron Collider). It is a scalar, spin-0, and therefore Klein-Gordon Field.
