Physics Overview Yasuhiro Okada (KEK) LCWS 06 & ILC GDE meeting, March 9, 2006 Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India

Fundamental questions in elementary particle physics What are the elementary constituents of matter? What are forces acting between them? How has the Universe begun and evolved?

How have we come to the Standard Model ? gravity general relativity EM interaction Electroweak theory weak interaction Fermi theory Higgs mechanism strong interaction nuclear force pion quark QCD 1900 2000

Why TeV scale? This is the scale of the weak interaction, in modern language, the Higgs vacuum expectation value (~246 GeV). We expect to fine a Higgs boson and “New Physics” associated to the electroweak symmetry breaking. The answer to the question “what is the physics behind the electroweak symmetry breaking?” is a crucial branching point for the future of particle physics. Supersymmetry vs. Low cut-off theory (Little Higgs models, models with large extra-dimension, etc.)

Why do we expect physics beyond the Standard Model? We do not know how the Higgs field arises. There are evidences which require new particles and/or new interactions. Neutrino mass Dark matter Baryon-anti-baryon asymmetry of the Universe Expectation of Unification. GUT, Superstring

Why do we need both LHC & ILC? Two machines have different characters. Advantage of lepton colliders: 　　e+ and e- are elementary particle　 　　　　(well-defined kinematics). 　　Less background than LHC experiments. 　　Beam polarization, energy scan. 　　g - g, e- g, e- e- options, Z pole option. LHC ILC

Goals of ILC physics Higgs physics (Electroweak symmetry breaking and mass generation mechanism of quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons.) New physics signals Direct search for new particles and interactions. Indirect search for new physics effects　　　through the SM particle processes. Capability of precise measurements of various quantities is a key.

Higgs physics A Higgs boson will be discovered at LHC as long as its properties (production/decay) is similar to the SM Higgs boson. In order to study the Higgs mechanism at work, Higgs couplings to various particles have to be measured precisely.

New physics effects in Higgs boson couplings In many new physics models, the Higgs sector is extended and /or involves new interactions. The Higgs boson coupling can have sizable deviation from the SM prediction.

Direct searches for New Physics Some type of new signals is expected around 1TeV range, if New Physics is related to a solution of the hierarchy problem. (SUSY, Large extra-dimension, etc ) The first signal of New Physics is likely to be obtained at LHC. (ex. squarks up to 2.5 TeV at LHC) ILC experiments are necessary to figure out what is New Physics, by measuring spin, quantum numbers, coupling constants of new particles, and finding lower mass particles which may escape detection at LHC. Beam polarization, energy scan, and well-defined initial kinematics play important roles in ILC studies.

Conclusions The LHC experiment is expected to open a new era of the high energy physics by finding a Higgs boson and other new particles. Establishing the mass generation mechanism is the urgent question. This will be achieved by precise determination of the Higgs couplings, and ILC will play essential roles. In order to explore New Physics, Higgs coupling measurements, direct study of new particles and new phenomena, and indirect searches through SM processes are all important at ILC. TeV physics explored at LHC and ILC will lead to new understanding of unification and cosmology.
