Abstract
The only scalar field of concrete physical importance is the Higgs-field of the elementary particle physics, especially after the possible detection of the Higgs-particle with a mass of 114 GeV at CERN some weeks ago in September 2000. Therefore our first question is: Which kind of interaction is mediated by the exchange of the Higgs-particle? This question can be answered classically by considering the field equations following from the Lagrangian of the electro-weak interaction.
