Outline TeV Scale Gravity Gravitons Black Holes Summary Landsberg
3
State of the Standard Model Effective model which describes data well Accommodates but does not explain Fermion masses CP-Violation Well known fine-tuning, hierarchy, triviality problems LEP EWWG – Winter 2007 m H 2 ~~ M Pl 2
4
Why Gravity at the LHC View Standard Model as effective theory as a low energy approximation New theory takes over at energy scale comparable to the Higgs mass 1 TeV SUSY, Technicolor, Little Higgs,.. Perhaps there is no other scale, GUT scale is ~ TeV Gravity made strong by extra dimensions where gravity propagates
5
Randall – Sundrum Model SM fields on one of two 4-dimensional brane in a 5-D space time Graviton can propagate in the bulk Kaluza-Klein States on the order of TeV Main parameters: Mass of Graviton Curvature parameter ( c = k/M pl ) Signatures in dilepton, diboson, dijet final states wk = M Pl e -kr q q l l

Current Direct Limits CDF Conference note 9160 PRL 100, 091802 (2008) Mass limits from 300 – 900 GeV depending on coupling
7
Dimuon Signature Two reconstructed muons One | | < 2.1 One with P T > 24 GeV Use angular distribution to discriminate spin Main background SM Drell-Yan c = 0.01 c = 0.02 c = 0.05 c = 0.10 10 fb -1 100 fb -1 300 fb -1 See Dilepton Talk Later this session

Diphotons Branching ratio twice as large as dilepton Z’ doesn’t decay into diphotons Backgrounds Direct Diphoton Production Photon + Jet Dijets (photon misidentification) Drell-Yan (missing tracks) Two isolated photons with E T > 150 GeV Isolated both by calorimeter and tracker

Black Holes Dimopolous, Landsberg Black holes could form if two colliding partons have impact parameter smaller than R S Partonic Cross-Section given by geometry, total cross-section convoluted with PDFS Decay by Hawking Radiation Demographic Decay Spherically Symmetric E/2 b b < R s (E) BH forms R S 2

Black Hole – CMS II

ATLAS Black Holes Event Selection Electron or muon with | | p T > 50 GeV Two approaches (almost identical results) | p T | > 2.5 TeV (jets + leptons) At least 4 jets and lepton p T > 200 GeV A n=2,m = 5-14 TeV C n=2,m = 8-14 TeV B n=4,m = 5-14 TeV D n=7,m = 8-14 TeV ABCDABCD
15
ATLAS Black Holes 2 Reconstruct the visible mass of the black hole from all objects and MET Very dramatic signature + large signal cross-sections
16
ATLAS Black Holes 3 Investigated Event Shapes Do give separation with background Very different for different parameters
17
ATLAS Black Holes 4 Discovery potential S/ B > 5 S > 10 Discovery possible ranging from Few pb for 5 TeV ~1 fb for 9 TeV
18
Summary Signatures from Gravitons and Black Holes would be dramatic compelling signatures RS Gravitons should be observable ~5 TeV range and quickly observable for ~1 TeV masses Black holes could be seen to very high masses (8-9 TeV) with a few to ~ 30 fb -1 of data (depending on parameters) For older results go to ATLAS and CMS exotics pages New ATLAS results expected to be made public ~few months…
