Description

We discuss here the possibility of the breaking of Salam-Weinberg symmetry by Higgs particles which are superheavy. The symmetry breaking is associated with a nonzero vacuum expectation value of fermion condensates. This mechanism, if operative in nature, will imply the absence of Higgs particles at the weak scale. (orig.)
