From Before… Essay Due Today Discussed the weak interaction All quarks and leptons have a ‘weak charge’ They interact through the weak interaction Weak interaction often swamped by electromagnetic or strong interaction. Most clearly manifested in particle decays, where the weak interaction can change one particle into another. Essay Due Today Phy107 Fall 2006

EM interaction Charged particles interact via the electromagnetic (EM) interaction A charged particle couples to the photon field It can also excite a photon (excited state of photon field) and lose energy. Another charged particle can absorb the energy from the photon field (photon disappears). Only particles with an electric charge couple to the photon field. Phy107 Fall 2006

Strong interaction Particles with color charge interact via the strong interaction A color charged particle(red, blue, green) couples to the gluon field. Includes quarks and gluons Fact that gluons can interact with other gluons leads to some interesting effects. Confinement, particle creation, range of the strong force. Pulling apart quarks takes a large amount of energy. Like a very strong spring. Actually a string of gluons. That energy can be used to make other particles, E=mc2. Leads to short range of force Phy107 Fall 2006

Weak interaction Particles with weak(flavor) charge interact via the weak interaction A flavor charged particle couples to the W+, W- and Z fields. Includes all matter particles. Neutrinos can only interact via the weak force Strangest force. Only force that changes particles involved. Change must conserve charge and mass/energy. For the W can be thought of as flipping the flavor: From up to down, from massive lepton to neutrino Most often noticed when the weak force in the only force that can act on the system. Neutron to proton, neutrinos Massive nature of W and Z make weak force short lived and weak, Et~h Phy107 Fall 2006

Neutrino into muon W+ n  - d u n u d p time Neutrino has no electric or color charge Interacts only via the weak force. How weak is weak? Neutrino traveling in solid lead would interact only once every 22 light-years! And weak force only “kicks in” for d <10-18 m, a distance ~ 1000 times smaller than the nucleus But there are lots of neutrinos, so it is possible to observe an interaction. This is our method or studying the sun n  - W+ d u n u d p time Phy107 Fall 2006

Quarks and the weak force Quarks have color charge, electric charge, and weak charge — other interactions swamp the weak interaction But similar to leptons, quarks can change their flavor (decay) via the weak force, by emitting a W particle. u d Generation I c s Generation II Emit W+ 2x10-12 seconds t b Generation III Emit W+ 10-23 seconds Charge +2/3 -1/3 Phy107 Fall 2006

Something interesting about the weak interaction As far as the weak interaction goes, leptons and quarks are basically identical. All carry a weak charge. All six quarks can change flavor via the weak interaction. Within a generation or between generations. Leptons can change flavor within a generation, and neutrinos between generations(discovered recently by looking at neutrinos from the sun). So maybe all quarks and leptons are just different ‘states’ of the same ‘master particle’ Phy107 Fall 2006

And several different interactions Remember that interactions are due to exchange of bosons. EM interaction - exchange photons Weak interaction - exchange W+, W—, Zo Strong interaction - exchange gluons (8) But are they so different? Phy107 Fall 2006

Unification It may be possible that all quarks and leptons can be viewed as different components of the same particle. Also may be possible to unify the forces (exchange bosons). Electromagnetic and Weak force have already been unified. People working hard to include the strong force and gravitational force in this. Phy107 Fall 2006

Exchange Bosons (force carriers) EM Weak Phy107 Fall 2006

Electro-weak unification The standard model says that the electromagnetic interaction (photon exchange) & the weak interaction (W+, W-, Zo exchange) are different pieces of the same electroweak interaction Neutral weak Electromagnetic Zero charge Mass=91 GeV/c2 Range ~ 10-18 m Mass=0 GeV/c2 Range ~ inf. Pos. weak Neg. weak Pos. charge Mass=80 GeV/c2 Range ~ 10-18 m Neg. charge W+ W- e Phy107 Fall 2006

Some similarities here Neutral weak Electromagnetic Zero charge Mass=91 GeV/c2 Range ~ 10-18 m Mass=0 GeV/c2 Range ~ inf. Pos. weak Neg. weak Pos. charge Mass=80 GeV/c2 Range ~ 10-18 m Neg. charge W+ W- e These two both exchange neutral bosons Neither boson changes the lepton flavor (remains electron) These two both exchange charged bosons. Both bosons change the lepton flavor Phy107 Fall 2006

Similar indeed The Zo and photon interactions are so similar that they are very difficult to distinguish experimentally. One of the ideas behind the Standard Model is that particles physics should follow regular and explainable patterns or symmetries. A pattern that would account for two changed weak force carriers also called for a neutral particle: The Zo a neutral particle much like the photon. The Zo was predicted by the Standard Model, and then found experimentally. Phy107 Fall 2006

Symmetries in the SM The standard model is based on symmetries, but they are a little subtle. Similarities between photon and Zo interactions point to a common source. Electroweak force with two charges This is (‘flavor charge’)x(‘electric like charge’) This results in four exchange bosons. W+, Zo, W- for flavor charge  for electric like charge Phy107 Fall 2006

Symmetry breaking The standard model says that at high energies, this symmetry is apparent We see a single electroweak interaction. Zo and  interact exactly the same way with the same strength. At low energies the symmetry is broken We see distinct electromagnetic and weak interactions However needs one more element. Something to give the W and Z mass Phy107 Fall 2006

Mass Here’s the experimental masses of SM particles. Original SM gives zero mass for all particles. But can give particles mass by coupling to a new field, the Higgs field. Higgs boson is the (unobserved) quanta of the Higgs field. Phy107 Fall 2006

What is mass? Think of inertial mass: inertial mass is a particle’s resistance to changes in velocity. When you apply the same force to particles, the smaller the mass, the larger the acceleration. What is the origin of mass? Phy107 Fall 2006

Mass in the SM In the standard model (SM), particles have mass because they interact with something that pervades the universe. This something is the Higgs field Particles ‘hit’ the Higgs field when you try to accelerate them Mass = (chance of hit) x (Higgs density) Coupling constant Phy107 Fall 2006

Mass and the Higgs field Imagine a party in a room packed full of people. Now a popular person enters the room, attracting a cluster of hangers-on that impede her motion she has become more massive Phy107 Fall 2006

The Higgs boson The Higgs boson is a quantum excitation of the Higgs field. In analogy, suppose an interesting rumor is shouted in thru the door. The people get quite excited. They cluster to pass on the rumor, and the cluster propagates thru the room. Looks very similar to the popular/massive person who entered the room Good way to think of other quantum excitations. All the other force carriers Phy107 Fall 2006

The Higgs Boson How much mass do you thing the Higgs Boson has A. No mass B. Light like an up or down quark C. Very massive like a top quark Phy107 Fall 2006

How can we ‘see’ the Higgs? The Higgs boson needs to be created in order to see it. E = mc2 Not found yet mH > 114GeV mH < 186GeV e- Zo e+ H Phy107 Fall 2006

Grand Unified Theories What do we really need to unify particle physics? Maxwell unified the electric and magnetic interactions into electromagnetic (EM) The standard model unified the EM and weak interactions into the electroweak interaction Start with the strong force. What kind of theory is needed to unify this? Phy107 Fall 2006

More Unifications? Phy107 Fall 2006

Not all that easy Phy107 Fall 2006

Grand Unified Theories Flavor changing interactions in quarks (e.g. changing a top quark to a bottom quark by emitting a W+) suggest that quarks can be viewed as different ‘orientations’ of the same object. Have found the same thing for leptons. But maybe there should be a lepto-quark field? Quarks could turn into leptons, leptons into quarks All matter particles would be different ‘orientations’ of the same fundamental object. If we unify leptons and quarks then weak and strong forces may be shown to be two aspects of one force. Phy107 Fall 2006

The price of unification When the SM unified EM and weak interactions, we ended with more force-carrying bosons (e.g. the Zo) This is because our fundamental ‘particle’ increased in complexity e.g. from an electron to an electron-neutrino pair If our ‘particle’ now encompasses both leptons and quarks, the interaction also becomes more complex. In one particular GUT, we get 24 exchange bosons (W+,W-,Z0, photon, 8 gluons, and 12 new ones) Phy107 Fall 2006

Summary Details of weak interaction suggest that Mass Different quarks and diff. leptons are diff. ‘orientations’ of the same particle. Weak and EM interactions are diff. parts the ‘electroweak’ force. Mass Particles get mass by interacting with Higgs field Higgs boson is an excitation of the Higgs field Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) Will ‘combine’ letptons and quarks Unify strong and electroweak interactions What’s beyond the Standard Model.
