LHC DARK MATTER FLAVOR : the triple alliance hunting for TeV New Physics Antonio Masiero Univ. of Padova and INFN, Padova NIKHEF, MARCH

LHC and “LOW-ENERGY” NEW PHYSICS LHC discovers NP: difficult, if not impossible, to “reconstruct” the fundamental theory lying behind those signals of NP; LHC does not see any signal of NP: still a NP related to the stabilization of the elw. scale may be present, but with particles whose masses are in the multi-TeV range.

ON THE COMPLEMENTARITY OF DM and LFV SEARCHES to DIRECT LHC SEARCHES FOR NP Twofold meaning of such complementarity: i)synergy in “reconstructing” the “fundamental theory” staying behind the signatures of NP; ii) coverage of complementary areas of the NP parameter space ( ex.: multi-TeV SUSY physics)

WHY TO GO BEYOND THE SM “OBSERVATIONAL” REASONS HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS (but A FB ……) FCNC, CP  NO (but b sqq penguin …) HIGH PRECISION LOW-EN. NO (but (g-2)  …) NEUTRINO PHYSICS YE m  0,   0 COSMO - PARTICLE PHYSICS YE (DM, ∆ B cos m, INFLAT., DE) Z bb NO YES THEORETICAL REASONS INTRINSIC INCONSISTENCY OF SM AS QFT (spont. broken gauge theory without anomalies) NO ANSWER TO QUESTIONS THAT “WE” CONSIDER “FUNDAMENTAL” QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED BY “FUNDAMENTAL” THEORY (hierarchy, unification, flavor) NO YES

FLAVOR BLINDNESS OF THE NP AT THE ELW. SCALE? THREE DECADES OF FLAVOR TESTS ( Redundant determination of the UT triangle verification of the SM, theoretically and experimentally “high precision” FCNC tests, ex. b s + γ, CP violating flavor conserving and flavor changing tests, lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes, …) clearly state that: A) in the HADRONIC SECTOR the CKM flavor pattern of the SM represents the main bulk of the flavor structure and of CP violation; B) in the LEPTONIC SECTOR: although neutrino flavors exhibit large admixtures, LFV, i.e. non – conservation of individual lepton flavor numbers in FCNC transitions among charged leptons, is extremely small: once again the SM is right ( to first approximation) predicting negligibly small LFV

Single channels understood? Allowed to take the avg.?

What to make of this triumph of the CKM pattern in hadronic flavor tests? New Physics at the Elw. Scale is Flavor Blind CKM exhausts the flavor changing pattern at the elw. Scale MINIMAL FLAVOR VIOLATION New Physics introduces NEW FLAVOR SOURCES in addition to the CKM pattern. They give rise to contributions which are <20% in the “flavor observables” which have already been observed! MFV : Flavor originates only from the SM Yukawa coupl.

ELW. PRECISION TESTS + FLAVOR PRECISION TESTS WE UNDERSTAND THE (GAUGE AND FLAVOR) STRUCTURE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL INTERACTIONS UP TO ENERGIES OF O(100 GEV)

What a SuperB can do in testing CMFV L. Silvestrini at SuperB IV

SuperB vs. LHC Sensitivity Reach in testing  SUSY SuperB can probe MFV ( with small-moderate tan  ) for TeV squarks; for a generic non-MFV MSSM sensitivity to squark masses > 100 TeV ! Ciuchini, Isidori, Silvestrini

LFV IN CHARGED LEPTONS FCNC L i - L j transitions through W - neutrinos mediation GIM suppression ( m / M W ) 2 forever invisible New mechanism: replace SM GIM suppression with a new GIM suppression where m is replaced by some ∆M >> m. Ex.: in SUSY L i - L j transitions can be mediated by photino - SLEPTONS exchanges, BUT in CMSSM (MSSM with flavor universality in the SUSY breaking sector) ∆M sleptons is O( m leptons), hence GIM suppression is still too strong. How to further decrease the SUSY GIM suppression power in LFV through slepton exchange?

Non-diagonality of the slepton mass matrix in the basis of diagonal lepton mass matrix depends on the unitary matrix U which diagonalizes (f + f ) ~ SUSY SEESAW: Flavor universal SUSY breaking and yet large lepton flavor violation Borzumati, A. M (after discussions with W. Marciano and A. Sanda)

How Large LFV in SUSY SEESAW? 1) Size of the Dirac neutrino couplings f 2) Size of the diagonalizing matrix U In MSSM seesaw or in SUSY SU(5) (Moroi): not possible to correlate the neutrino Yukawa couplings to know Yukawas; In SUSY SO(10) ( A.M., Vempati, Vives) at least one neutrino Dirac Yukawa coupling has to be of the order of the top Yukawa coupling one large of O(1) f U two “extreme” cases: a) U with “small” entries U = CKM; b) U with “large” entries with the exception of the 13 entry U = PMNS matrix responsible for the diagonalization of the neutrino mass matrix

THE COSMIC MATTER-ANTIMATTER ASYMMETRY PUZZLE: -why only baryons -why N baryons /N photon ~ NO EVIDENCE OF ANTIMATTER WITHIN THE SOLAR SYSTEM ANTIPROTONS IN COSMIC RAYS: IN AGREEMENT WITH PRODUCTION AS SECONDARIES IN COLLISIONS IF IN CLUSTER OF GALAXIES WE HAD AN ADMIXTURE OF GALAXIES MADE OF MATTER AND ANTIMATTER THE PHOTON FLUX PRODUCED BY MATTER-ANTIMATTER ANNIHILATION IN THE CLUSTER WOULD EXCEED THE OBSERVED GAMMA FLUX IF N ba. = N antibar AND NO SEPARATION WELL BEFORE THEY DECOUPLE. WE WOULD BE LEFT WITH N bar. /N photon << IF BARYONS-ANTIBARYONS ARE SEPARATED EARLIER DOMAINS OF BARYONS AND ANTIBARYONS ARE TOO SMALL SMALL TODAY TO EXPLAIN SEPARATIONS LARGER THAN THE SUPERCLUSTER SIZE ONLY MATTER IS PRESENT HOW TO DYNAMICALLY PRODUCE A BARYON-ANTIBARYON ASYMMETRY STARTING FROM A SYMMETRIC SITUATION

COSMIC MATTER-ANTIMATTER ASYMMETRY Murayama

SM FAILS TO GIVE RISE TO A SUITABLE COSMIC MATTER-ANTIMATTER ASYMMETRY SM DOES NOT SATISFY AT LEAST TWO OF THE THREE SACHAROV’S NECESSARY CONDITIONS FOR A DYNAMICAL BARYOGENESIS: NOT ENOUGH CP VIOLATION IN THE SM NEED FOR NEW SOURCES OF CPV IN ADDITION TO THE PHASE PRESENT IN THE CKM MIXING MATRIX FOR M HIGGS > 80 GeV THE ELW. PHASE TRANSITION OF THE SM IS A SMOOTH CROSSOVER NEED NEW PHYSICS BEYOND SM. IN PARTICULAR, FASCINATING POSSIBILITY: THE ENTIRE MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE ORIGINATES FROM THE SAME MECHANISM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXTREME SMALLNESS OF NEUTRINO MASSES

MATTER-ANTIMATTER ASYMMETRY NEUTRINO MASSES CONNECTION: BARYOGENESIS THROUGH LEPTOGENESIS Key-ingredient of the SEE-SAW mechanism for neutrino masses: large Majorana mass for RIGHT-HANDED neutrino In the early Universe the heavy RH neutrino decays with Lepton Number violatiion; if these decays are accompanied by a new source of CP violation in the leptonic sector, then it is possible to create a lepton-antilepton asymmetry at the moment RH neutrinos decay. Since SM interactions preserve Baryon and Lepton numbers at all orders in perturbation theory, but violate them at the quantum level, such LEPTON ASYMMETRY can be converted by these purely quantum effects into a BARYON-ANTIBARYON ASYMMETRY ( Fukugita-Yanagida mechanism for leptogenesis )

On the Energetic Budget of the Universe

DM: the most impressive evidence at the “quantitative” and “qualitative” levels of New Physics beyond SM QUANTITATIVE: Taking into account the latest WMAP data which in combination with LSS data provide stringent bounds on  DM and  B EVIDENCE FOR NON-BARYONIC DM AT MORE THAN 10 STANDARD DEVIATIONS!! THE SM DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY CANDIDATE FOR SUCH NON- BARYONIC DM QUALITATIVE: it is NOT enough to provide a mass to neutrinos to obtain a valid DM candidate; LSS formation requires DM to be COLD NEW PARTICLES NOT INCLUDED IN THE SPECTRUM OF THE FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE SM !

THE RISE AND FALL OF NEUTRINOS AS DARK MATTER Massive neutrinos: only candidates in the SM to account for DM. From here the “prejudice” of neutrinos of a few eV to correctly account for DM Neutrinos decouple at ~1 MeV ; being their mass<<decoupling temperature, neutrinos remain relativistic for a long time. Being very fast, they smooth out any possible growth of density fluctuation forbidding the formation of proto-structures. The “weight” of neutrinos in the DM budget is severely limited by the observations disfavoring scenarios where first superlarge structures arise and then galaxies originate from their fragmentation
