1 The Standard Model and Beyond Harrison B. Prosper 6 July, 2010 Fermilab Summer Lecture Series

2 2 Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? Paul Gauguin (1897) Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

3 The Standard Model

4 4 What is the Standard Model? quantum field theory The Standard Model (SM) is a quantum field theory excitations quantum fields that describes the excitations of quantum fields in spacetime particles We interpret these excitations as particles

5 Matter Up quark Down quark e ElectronAntielectron Neutrino ud

6 Forces 1(Gluons) Strong Force 1(Gluons) Binds protons and neutrons to form nuclei 10 -2 (Photon) Electromagnetic Force 10 -2 (Photon) Binds electrons and nuclei to form atoms 10 -5 (W & Z Bosons) Weak Force10 -5 (W & Z Bosons) Causes radioactivity 10 -39 (Graviton) Gravitational Force10 -39 (Graviton) Binds matter on large scales

11 11 1935 – Particle Exchange Theory Hideki Yukawa (1935) showed that potential energy the potential energy between two particles has the form mparticle m is the mass of the particle exchanged between the them R = hc mc R = hc / mc 2 is the range of the force Hideki Yukawa 1907 - 1981

27 27 Puzzles The Identity Puzzle What makes a top quark a top quark, an electron an electron, and a neutrino a neutrino? (Chris Quigg, 2007) The Mass Puzzle What is the origin of the mass of fundamental particles? The Matter Puzzle Why is there overwhelmingly more matter than antimatter?

28 28 The Just-So Puzzle What determines the values of the Standard Model parameters? Or, are we special? The Gravity Puzzle strongemweakgravity1: 10 -2 : 10 -5 : 10 -39 Why strong: em: weak: gravity = 1: 10 -2 : 10 -5 : 10 -39 ? The Dark Matter Puzzle What is dark matter? The Dark Energy Puzzle Why is dark energy? Puzzles

32 Life in the Multiverse Alejandro Jenkins Florida State University Scientific American January 2010

33 33 The Gravity Puzzle 10 -39

34 Gravity on the Brane 34 Isaac Newton (1687) Gauss’ Law Our 3-D brane

35 Gravity in 3 + n Dimensions 35 Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, Dvali (1998) Gauss’ Law Our 3-D brane

36 36 R Gravity in 3 + n Dimensions Suppose that gravity can propagate a distance R away from our 3-D brane world

37 37 When r >> R, the gravity force should look like Newton’s law of gravity R This yields the relation G = G n / R n Gravity in 3 + n Dimensions

38 Searching for Branes at Fermilab! 38 G One way: look for photon + unexplained amounts of missing momentum

39 39 The Era of the Large Hadron Collider The Era of the Large Hadron Collider CERN Geneva

40 40 The End CERN
