7 The very high energy theory contains the fields of the SM and Banks-Zaks fields of a theory with a nontrivial IR fixed point. GA Kozlov

8 CONFORMAL INVARIANCE At the quantum level, dimensionless couplings depend on scale: renormalization group evolution QED QCD are not conformal theories g Q g Q GA Kozlov 8

11 CONFORMAL Symmetry Breaking & High energy scale
3 characteristic scales: -Hidden sector couples at M Conformal - EWSB CSB at g Q LU M Unparticle physics is only possible in the conformal window Width of this window depends on GA Kozlov 11

12 UNPARTICLE PHASE SPACE
The density of unparticle final states is the spectral density Scale invariance  This is similar to the phase space for n massless particles: “Unparticle” with dU = 1 is a massless particle. “Unparticles” with some other dimension dU look like a non-integral number dU of massless particles Georgi (2007) GA Kozlov 12

14 TOP-quark DECAY Consider t  u U decay through
Georgi (2007) For dU  1, recover 2-body decay kinematics, monoenergetic u- jet. For dU > 1, however, get continuum of energies; unparticle does not have a definite mass GA Kozlov 14

15 TOP-quark DECAY Consider t  u U decay through
Georgi (2007) For dU  1, recover 2-body decay kinematics, monoenergetic u- jet. For 2>dU > 1, however, get continuum of energies; unparticle does not have a definite mass GA Kozlov 15

16 3 POINT COUPLINGS 3-point coupling is determined, up to a constant, by conformal invariance: E.g., LHC: gg  O  O O  gggg Rate controlled by value of the (strong) coupling, constrained only by experiment Many possibilities: ggZZ, ggee, ggmm, … Photon pT GA Kozlov 16

17 GA Kozlov

18 UNPARTICLE INTERACTIONS
Interactions depend on the dimension of the unparticle operator and whether it is scalar, vector, tensor, … Super-renormalizable couplings: Most important (model will follow) GA Kozlov 18

36 SUMMARY. For experimentalists
Unparticles: conformal energy window implies high energy colliders are the most useful machines Real unparticle production  missing energy As for of the SM particles is concerned, - staff production looks the same as production of massless particles Multi-unparticle production  spectacular signals Virtual unparticle production  rare processes Unparticles: Quite distinguishable from other HE physics through own specific kinematic properties GA Kozlov 36
