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.
