Electroweak Physics and Searches for New Physics at CDF Beate Heinemann University of Liverpool Mini-Symposium on CDF @University of Chicago 5th of March 2004
The Standard Model of Particle Physics • 3 generations of quarks and leptons interact via exchange of gauge bosons: • Electroweak SU(2)xU(1): W, Z, γ • Strong SU(3): g • Symmetry breaking caused by Higgs field • Generates Goldstone bosons • Longitudinal degrees of freedom for W and Z • 3 massive and one massless gauge bosons -Standard Model survived all experimental challenges in past 30 years! -electroweak and QCD precision data -No New Physics despite many efforts! Gauge Bosons Higgs Boson • Vacuum quantum numbers (0++) • Couples to mass • Mh = ? Beate Heinemann - University of Liverpool
Why not the Standard Model? Coupling constants U(1) • Radiative corrections to Higgs mass: electroweak scale (100 GeV) much much lower than Planck Scale (1019 GeV): “hierarchy” or “naturalness” problem • No unification of forces at any scale • Higgs boson not yet found: is it there? • No explanation for matter/ anti-matter asymmetry in universe • No accounting for dark matter in universe • Many free parameters, e.g. masses of all particles: unsatisfactory SU(2) WMAP satellite Beate Heinemann - University of Liverpool
What could be Beyond the SM? • Supersymmetry (SUSY): • Each SM particle has a “super”-partner with same quantum numbers apart from spin (top <-> stop, photon <-> photino, etc.) • Masses are O(1 TeV) • Unification of forces at GUT scale (1016 GeV) • Hierarchy problem solved • Extra Dimensions • String theory: links gravity to other forces • Could be large (0.1mm): probed at TeV scale • Hierarchy problem solved • The unexpected… Beate Heinemann - University of Liverpool
Supersymmetry Intro • SM FermionsBoson Superpartners • SM Bosons Fermion Superpartners • Physical SUSY sparticles: neutralinos (Higgs, Photon, Z partners), charginos (Higgs, W partners), squarks (quark partners), sleptons (lepton partners) • Different SUSY models: • Supergravity:SUSY broken near GUT scale • GUT scale parameters: scalar mass m0 , gaugino mass m1/2 , ratio of Higgs v.e.v’s tanβ, Higgs mixing parameter μ • LSP is neutralino χ0or sneutrinoν • Gauge-mediated models (GMSB):SUSY broken at lower energies – breaking scale F an important parameter. • Gravitino G is the LSP (NLSP χ0 →Gγ ) • If “R-Parity” conserved: • SUSY particles can only be pair-produced • Lightest SUSY Particle (LSP) stable and escapes detection • If conserved: LSP stable, carries away missing ET ~ ~ ~ Beate Heinemann - University of Liverpool
Searches for New Physics: Strategy Cross Sections (fb) • Establish good understanding of data in EWK/QCD physics in Run 2: • Backgrounds to new physics searches • Indirect sensitivity to New Physics • Gain understanding of detector • Search for as many signatures as possible, involving: • High Pt leptons • Large imbalance in transverse momentum (e.g. due to neutrino or neutralino) • High Et jets • High Et photons • Rare decays of charm- and bottom-mesons • Interpret: • Provide cross section limits and acceptances (try to be as generic/model-independent as possible) applicable to future models! • In context of specific models of physics beyond the SM WW, Wγ, Zγ, ?
