Higgs and Coulomb Branches. What are they? On Wikipedia, there is an article on Moduli(Physics). The link is the following https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moduli_(physics) . What captures me is Higgs and Coulomb Branch. If you click the links on Wikipedia, for these you notice that there is  no article for them.  A Google search yields research papers non-suited for the novice.  What is a SIMPLE model that illustrates these concepts. Preferably written for a Physics high school student or College Freshman.Is there a video, or tutorial I can be directed to which goes over the concepts and operational steps?

*I am interested in an operational definition (e.g  . .  A "X" is a "P" with . . . .)

*A simple worked out example (e.g In a simple theory of "X" coupled to "Y" . . . in d dims the "K" branch is a  . . . . and here are steps that get you from "M" to  "Z")

*I like diagrams and animations because I am an idiot ( e.g The vectors from point "l" are the  . . .)
I think I can benefit most from simple expository media, with the ideas explicitly stated. I have to confess, I don't want to read a full book.I am human. I can go over a page or two long article, but I love videos. I am aware of prerequisites to gain such understanding. 
 A: Oh hi there . . .  
Symmetry breaking happens 


*

*You can break gauge symmetry via the higgs mechanism.  Sometimes different types of higgs fields transform differently.
a) Coulomb phase : broken to a product of U(1) factors
b) Higss Phase :  the breaking was so hardcore, all U(1) factors died
Consider N =2 super Yang-Mills as @Dirac,@ACuriousMind, Wikipedia ( and perhaps me, depending on if you had coffee) have pointed out
"The moduli space locally factors as the product of the moduli of a vector multiplet and a hypermultiplet, and the first factor is called the Coulomb branch and the second the Higgs branch" -- ACuriousMind
@Diracology also points out that this kind of thinking helps characterize the phases of super-symmetric  gauge theory.
For the full treatment ncatlab has a link of references.  Some of them might even address  @AcuriousMind's comment  about meaning outside of N = 2.
