From the Tevatron to the LHC Coseners House, April 24-25, 2004 Morning Prayer John Ellis
Open Questions beyond the Standard Model What is the origin of particle masses? due to a Higgs boson? + other physics? solution at energy < 1 TeV (1000 GeV) Why so many types of matter particles? matter-antimatter difference? Unification of the fundamental forces? at very high energy ~ GeV? probe directly via neutrino physics, indirectly via masses, couplings Quantum theory of gravity? extra space-time dimensions? All these issues tackled by the LHC (Tevatron)
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
The Electroweak Vacuum Generating particle masses requires breaking gauge symmetry: m W,Z =/= 0 =/= 0 m W 2 = m Z 2 cos 2 θ W => I = ½ I = ½ also needed for fermion masses What is X? Elementary or Composite?
Elementary Higgs or Composite? Higgs field: =/= 0 Problems with loops Fermion-antifermion condensate Just like QCD, BCS superconductivity Top-antitop condensate? needed m t > 200 GeV New technicolour force? inconsistent with precision electroweak data? Cut-off Λ ~ 1 TeV with Supersymmetry? Cutoff Λ = 10 TeV
Searches for the Higgs Boson Indirect: Precision electroweak measurements at LEP, SLC, etc Predicted successfully m t = 160 – 180 GeV Sensitive to mass of Higgs boson m H < 200 GeV ? Direct: LEP Searches for e + e - -> Z + H Hint seen in late 2000 now < 2 σ Current Limit: m H > GeV
Waiting for the Higgs boson Higgs probability distribution: combining direct, indirect information m H > GeV How soon will the Higgs be found? …
Theorists getting Cold Feet Interpretation of EW data? consistency of measurements? Discard some? Higgs + higher-dimensional operators? corridors to higher Higgs masses? Little Higgs models extra `Top, gauge bosons, `Higgses Higgsless models strong WW scattering, extra D?
Heretical Interpretation of EW Data Do all the data tell the same story? e.g., A L vs A H What attitude towards LEP, NuTeV? What most of us think
Higgs + Higher-Order Operators Precision EW data suggest they are small: why? But conspiracies are possible: m H could be large, even if believe EW data …? Do not discard possibility of heavy Higgs Corridor to heavy Higgs?
Little Higgs Models Embed SM in larger gauge group Higgs as pseudo-Goldstone boson Cancel top loop with new heavy T quark New gauge bosons, Higgses Higgs light, other new physics heavy Not as complete as susy: more physics > 10 TeV M T < 2 TeV (m h / 200 GeV) 2 M W < 6 TeV (m h / 200 GeV) 2 M H++ < 10 TeV
Generic Little Higgs Spectrum Loop cancellation mechanisms SupersymmetryLittle Higgs
Higgsless Models Four-dimensional versions: Strong WW TeV, incompatible with precision data? Break EW symmetry by boundary conditions in extra dimension: delay strong WW scattering to ~ 10 TeV? Kaluza-Klein modes: m KK > 300 GeV? compatibility with precision data? Warped extra dimension + brane kinetic terms? Lightest KK 300 GeV, strong 6-7 TeV

Why Supersymmetry (Susy)? Hierarchy problem: why is m W << m P ? (m P ~ GeV is scale of gravity) Alternatively, why is G F = 1/ m W 2 >> G N = 1/m P 2 ? Or, why is V Coulomb >> V Newton ? e 2 >> G m 2 = m 2 / m P 2 Set by hand? What about loop corrections? δm H,W 2 = O(α/π) Λ 2 Cancel boson loops fermions Need | m B 2 – m F 2 | < 1 TeV 2
Other Reasons to like Susy It enables the gauge couplings to unify It stabilizes the Higgs potential for low masses Approved by Fabiola Gianotti
