J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Particles Particle Physics left the 20th Century with a triumphant model of the fundamental particles and interactions - the Standard Model –quarks, leptons, gauge bosons mediating gauge interactions –thoroughly tested –no confirmed violations * – * neglecting neutrino mixing e + e -  W + W - (LEP)

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Mysteries We enter the 21st Century with mysteries of monumental significance in particle physics: 20th Century Particle Physics –Physics behind Electroweak unification? The top quark mass –Ultimate unification of the interactions? –Hidden spacetime dimensions? –Supersymmetry? - doubling Nature’s fundamental particles –Cosmological discoveries? What is dark matter? What is dark energy? electron spin =1/2 selectron spin = 0

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Linear Colliders The electron-positron Linear Collider is a critical tool in our probe of these secrets of Nature The First Linear Collider SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) built on existing SLAC linac Operated KM future Linear Collider 500 GeV - 1 TeV and beyond could operate by KM expanded horizontal scale

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Electroweak Symmetry Breaking One of the major mysteries in particle physics today is the origin of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking –Weak nuclear force and the electromagnetic force unified SU(2) x U(1) Y with massless gauge fields –Why is this symmetry hidden? The physical bosons are not all massless M  = 0 M W =  GeV/c 2 M Z =  GeV/c 2 –The full understanding of this mystery appears to promise deep understanding of fundamental physics the origin of mass supersymmetry and possibly the origin of dark matter additional unification (strong force, gravity) and possibly hidden space-time dimensions

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, The Higgs Boson The quantum(a) of the Higgs Mechanism is(are) the Higgs Boson or Bosons –Minimal model - one complex doublet  4 fields –3 “eaten” by W +, W -, Z to give mass –1 left as physical Higgs This spontaneously broken local gauge theory is renormalizable - t’Hooft (1971) The Higgs boson properties –Mass < ~ 800 GeV/c 2 (unitarity arguments) –Strength of Higgs coupling increases with mass fermions: g ffh = m f / vv = 246 GeV gauge boson: g wwh = 2 m Z 2 /v

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Standard Model Fit M H = 91 GeV/c LEPEWWG

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, (SM) M higgs < 211 GeV at 95% CL. LEP2 limit M higgs > GeV. Tevatron discovery reach ~180 GeV W mass (  MeV) and top mass (  5.1 GeV) agree with precision measures and indicate low SM Higgs mass LEP Higgs search – Maximum Likelihood for Higgs signal at m H = GeV with overall significance (4 experiments) ~ 2  Indications for a Light Standard Model-like Higgs

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, History of Anticipated Particles Positron Dirac theory of the electron Pi meson Yukawa’s theory of strong interaction Neutrino missing energy in beta decay Quark patterns of observed particles Charmed quark absence of flavor changing neutral currents Bottom quark Kobayashi-Maskawa theory of CP violation W boson Weinberg-Salam electroweak theory Z boson ““ Top quark Expected once Bottom was discovered Mass predicted by precision Z 0 measurements Higgs boson ???? - Electroweak theory and experiments

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, The Search for the Higgs Boson LHC at CERN –Proton/proton collisions at E cm =14,000 GeV –Begins operation ~ km 2 km Tevatron at Fermilab –Proton/anti-proton collisions at E cm =2000 GeV –Collecting data now discovery possible by ~2008?

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, precision studies of the Higgs boson will be required to understand Electroweak Symmetry Breaking; just finding the Higgs is of limited value We expect the Higgs to be discovered at LHC (or Tevatron) and the measurement of its properties will begin at the LHC We need to measure the full nature of the Higgs to understand EWSB The 500 GeV (and beyond) Linear Collider is the tool needed to complete these precision studies References: TESLA Technical Design Report Linear Collider Physics Resource Book for Snowmass 2001 (contain references to many studies) Establishing Standard Model Higgs

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Some Candidate Models for Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Standard Model Higgs excellent agreement with EW precision measurements implies M H < 200 GeV (but theoretically ugly - h’archy prob.) Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) Higgs expect M h < ~135 GeV light Higgs boson (h) may be very “SM Higgs-like” with small differences (de-coupling limit) Non-exotic extended Higgs sector eg. 2HDM Strong Coupling Models New strong interaction The LC will provide critical data to resolve these possibilities

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, The Next Linear Collider Acceleration of electrons in a circular accelerator is plagued by Nature’s resistance to acceleration –Synchrotron radiation –  E = 4  /3 (e 2  3  4 / R) per turn (recall  = E/m, so  E ~ E 4 /m 4 ) –eg. LEP2  E = 4 GeV Power ~ 20 MW electronspositrons For this reason, at very high energy it is preferable to accelerate electrons in a linear accelerator, rather than a circular accelerator

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Therefore –Cost (circular) ~ a R + b  E ~ a R + b (E 4 /m 4 R) Synchrotron radiation –  E ~ (E 4 /m 4 R) Cost Advantage of Linear Colliders cost Energy Circular Collider Optimization R ~ E 2  Cost ~ c E 2 Linear Collider –Cost (linear) ~ a  L, where L ~ E At high energy, linear collider is more cost effective R m,E

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, The Linear Collider A plan for a high-energy, high- luminosity, electron-positron collider (international project) –E cm = GeV –Length ~25 km Physics Motivation for the LC –Elucidate Electroweak Interaction particular symmetry breaking This includes –Higgs bosons –supersymmetric particles –extra dimensions Construction could begin around 2009 following intensive pre-construction R&D with operation beginning around 2015 Warm X-band version 25 KM expanded horizontal scale

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, The First Linear Collider This concept was demonstrated at SLAC in a linear collider prototype operating at ~91 GeV (the SLC) SLC was built in the 80’s within the existing SLAC linear accelerator Operated –precision Z 0 measurements A LR =  (SLD) asymmetry in Z 0 production with L and R electrons –established Linear Collider concepts

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Supersymmetry –all particles matched by super-partners super-partners of fermions are bosons super-partners of bosons are fermions –inspired by string theory –high energy cancellation of divergences –could play role in dark matter (stable neutral particle) –many new particles (detailed properties at LC) Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, Dvali eg. selectron pair production e + e -  e + e -    LC Resource Book, Fig 4.3

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Adding Value to LHC measurements The Linear Collider will enhance the LHC measurements (“enabling technology”) How this happens depends on the Physics: Add precision to the discoveries of LHC eg. light higgs measurements Measure superpartner masses SUSY parameters may fall in the tan  /M A wedge.

Particle Physics (2002) Discussions between governmental representatives from countries interested in the LC have been active recently and are continuing......

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, The Linear Collider will be a powerful tool for studying Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and the Higgs Mechanism, as well as the other possible scenarios for TeV physics Current status of Electroweak Precision measurements strongly suggests that the physics at the LC will be rich. We can expect these studies to further our knowledge of fundamental physics in unanticipated ways Conclusion

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Is This the Standard Model Higgs? 1.) Does the hZZ coupling saturate the Z coupling sum rule?  g hZZ = M Z 2 g ew 2 / 4 cos 2  W eg. g hZZ = g Z M Z sin(  -  ) g HZZ = g Z M Z cos(  -  )g Z = g ew /2 cos  W 2.) Are the measured BRs consistent with the SM? eg. g hbb = g hbb (-sin  / cos  )  - g hbb (sin(  -  ) - cos(  -  ) tan  ) g h  = g h  (-sin  / cos  )  - g h  (sin(  -  ) - cos(  -  ) tan  )  g htt = g htt (-cos  / sin  )  g htt (sin(  -  ) + cos(  -  ) / tan  ) (in MSSM only for smaller values of M A will there be sensitivity, since sin(  -  as M A grows -decoupling) 3.) Is the width consistent with SM? 4.) Have other Higgs bosons or super-partners been discovered? 5.) etc. MSSM

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Large Extra Dimensions In addition to the three infinite spatial dimensions we know about, it is assumed there are n new spatial dimensions of finite extent R Some of the extra dimensions could be quite large The experimental limits on the size of extra dimensions are not very restrictive –to what distance has the 1/r 2 force law been measured? –extra dimensions could be as large as 0.1 mm, for example –experimental work is underway now to look for such large extra dimensions

J. Brau, APS NW, May 30, Large Extra Dimensions Particles and the Electroweak and Strong interactions are confined to 3 space dimensions Gravity is different: –Gravitons propagate in the full (3 + n)- dimensional space (see Large Extra Dimensions: A New Arena for Particle Physics, Nima Arkani-Hamed, Savas Dimopoulos, and Georgi Dvali, Physics Today, February, 2002) If there were only one large extra dimension, its size R would have to be of order km to account for the weakness of gravity. But two extra dimensions would be on the order of a millimeter in size. As the number of the new dimensions increases, their required size gets smaller. –For six equal extra dimensions, the size is only about cm Explaining the weakness of gravity
