Description
In gauge Higgs theories there is the possibility that there may exist localized excitations of the gauge and Higgs fields surrounding a static charge, and this would lead to excited states of what are usually described as "elementary" particles. This possibility is illustrated by a numerical simulation of the Landau-Ginzburg model of superconductivity, which in turn suggests certain experimental tests. Similar numerical results in other gauge Higgs theories are briefly reviewed.
