weak decays beta decay ofneutron
3
problem energy and momentum not conserved e n p
4
W. Pauli: 1930 Neutrino mass ~ m(e)
5
weak decays beta decay ofneutron
6
e n p
7
direct interaction of four fermions Enrico Fermi, ~1936 p n electron antineutrino
11
weak interactions current-current interaction weak currents ~ lefthanded:
12
lefthanded fermion S= - 1/2 righthanded antifermion S = + 1/2
13
maximal breaking of parity
14
weak interaction of the quarks beta – decay d u
15
weak decays of strange particles ( u d s )( u u d ) s u
16
Cabibbo angle: flavor mixing

W(+) W(-) Z photon
29
rotation symmetry spontaneous symmetry breaking in classical mechanics
30
spontaneous symmetry breaking baki
31
direction singled out rotation symmetry broken
33
Peter Higgs
34
Kibble Guralnik Hagen Englert Brout
35
potential V example 1: real scalar field
41
=> 2 ground states
43
example 2: complex scalar field
51
exact symmetry: broken symmetry:
53
scalars: doublet
56
degrees of freedom before symmetry breaking:
57
After symmetry breaking:
58
scalars: triplet
61
„Higgs“ scalar
72
photon
76
first term lefthanded parity violation
77
neutral current interaction parity violation observed in atomic physics
81
neutrino massless (only lefthanded component)
82
The masses of the weak bosons are predicted, once the weak angle is measured. The electron mass cannot be predicted ( the coupling constant g is unknown ).
83
electroweak theory: mass generation by ??? SSB ??? QCD: mass generation by confinement problem: mass generation
84
hypothetical Higgs boson
