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? (super)string theory: extra space-time dimensions?

At what Energy is the New Physics? A lot accessible to the LHC, ILC Some accessible only indirectly Dark matter Origin of mass

The State of the Higgs: Summer 2005 Direct search limit: m H > 114 GeV Electroweak fit sensitive to m t Currently m t = ± 2.9 GeV (previously m t = 178 → 174.3) Best-fit value: m H = –32 GeV 95% confidence-level upper limit: m H < 186 GeV, or 219 GeV including direct limit

Indications on the Higgs Mass Sample observable: W LEP & Tevatron Combined information on Higgs mass Summer 2005

Theorists getting Cold Feet Composite Higgs model? conflicts with precision electroweak data 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?

Elementary Higgs or Composite? Higgs field: ≠ 0 Quantum loop problems 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

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 Loop cancellation mechanisms SupersymmetryLittle Higgs How to cancel loops?

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? Lightest KK 300 GeV, strong 6-7 TeV

Higgs Tevatron?

Higgs Detection at the LHC m H > GeV here discovery easier with H  4 eptons The Higgs may be found quite quickly … … in several different channels Higgs detection easier if heavier!

Tasks for the TeV ILC Measure m t to <  100 MeV If there is a light Higgs of any kind, pin it down: Does it have standard model couplings? What is its precise mass? If there are extra light particles: Measure mass and properties If LHC sees nothing new below ~ 500 GeV: Look for indirect signatures

Advantages of Higher Energy LC Larger cross 3 TeV can measure rare decay modes H  bb Δg/g = 4%Δg/g = 2% m H = 120 GeVm H = 180 GeV

Loop Corrections to Higgs Mass 2 Consider generic fermion and boson loops: Each is quadratically divergent: ∫ Λ d 4 k/k 2 Leading divergence cancelled if Supersymmetry! 2 ∙2

What if Gravitino is Supersymmetric Relic? NLSP = next-to-lightest sparticle has very long lifetime due to gravitational decay, e.g.: Could be hours, days, weeks, months or years! Generic possibilities for NLSP: lightest neutralino χ lightest slepton, probably lighter stau

Minimal Supergravity Model (mSUGRA) Excluded by b  s γ LEP constraints On m h, chargino Neutralino LSP region stau LSP (excluded) Gravitino LSP region: Stau NLSP JE + Olive + Santoso + Spanos More constrained than CMSSM: m 3/2 = m 0, B λ = A λ – 1

Use muon system to locate impact point on cavern wall with uncertainty < 1cm Fix impact angle with accuracy Bore into cavern wall and remove core of size 1cm × 1cm × 10m = m 3 ~ 100 times/year Can this be done before staus decay? Caveat radioactivity induced by collisions! 2-day technical stop ~ 1/month Not possible if lifetime ~10 4 s, possible if ~10 6 s? De Roeck, JE, Gianotti, Moortgat, Olive + Pape Little room for water tanks in LHC caverns, mainly in forward directions where few staus
