  We present lattice Monte Carlo evidence of stable excitations of isolated
static charges in the Higgs phase of the charge $q=2$ abelian Higgs model.
These localized excitations are excited states of the interacting fields
surrounding the static charges. Since the $q=2$ abelian Higgs model is a
relativistic version of the Landau-Ginzburg effective action of a
superconductor, we conjecture that excited states of this kind might be
relevant in a condensed matter context. Taken together with recent related work
in SU(3) gauge Higgs theory, our result suggests that a massive fermion
excitation spectrum may be a general feature of gauge Higgs theories.
