From the Tevatron to the LHCCosener’s House, April 24-25, 2004 Morning Prayer John Ellis
Open Questions beyond the Standard Model • What is the origin of particle masses? due to a Higgs boson? + other physics? solution at energy < 1 TeV (1000 GeV) • Why so many types of matter particles? matter-antimatter difference? • Unification of the fundamental forces? at very high energy ~ 1016 GeV? probe directly via neutrino physics, indirectly via masses, couplings • Quantum theory of gravity? extra space-time dimensions? All these issues tackled by the LHC (Tevatron)
The Electroweak Vacuum • Generating particle masses requires breaking gauge symmetry: mW,Z=/= 0 <0|XI|0> =/= 0 mW2 = mZ2 cos2θW => I = ½ • I = ½also needed for fermion masses • What is X? Elementary or Composite?
Higgs field: <0|H|0> =/= 0 Problems with loops Fermion-antifermion condensate Just like QCD, BCS superconductivity Top-antitop condensate? needed mt > 200 GeV Elementary Higgs or Composite? Cutoff Λ = 10 TeV • New technicolour force? • inconsistent with • precision electroweak data? • Cut-off Λ ~ 1 TeV with • Supersymmetry?
Indirect: Precision electroweak measurements at LEP, SLC, etc Predicted successfully mt = 160 – 180 GeV Sensitive to mass of Higgs boson mH < 200 GeV? Direct: LEP Searches for e+ e- -> Z + H Hint seen in late 2000 now < 2 σ Current Limit: mH > 114.4 GeV Searches for the Higgs Boson
mH > 114.4 GeV Waiting for the Higgs boson Higgs probability distribution: combining direct, indirect information How soon will the Higgs be found? …
Theorists getting Cold Feet • Interpretation of EW data? consistency of measurements?Discard some? • Higgs + higher-dimensional operators? corridors to higher Higgs masses? • Little Higgs models extra `Top’, gauge bosons, `Higgses’ • Higgsless models strong WW scattering, extra D?
What attitude towards LEP, NuTeV? Heretical Interpretation of EW Data Do all the data tell the same story? e.g., AL vs AH What most of us think
But conspiracies are possible: mH could be large, even if believe EW data …? Higgs + Higher-Order Operators Corridor to heavy Higgs? Precision EW data suggest they are small: why? Do not discard possibility of heavy Higgs
Little Higgs Models • Embed SM in larger gauge group • Higgs as pseudo-Goldstone boson • Cancel top loop with new heavy T quark • New gauge bosons, Higgses • Higgs light, other new physics heavy MT < 2 TeV (mh / 200 GeV)2 MW’ < 6 TeV (mh / 200 GeV)2 MH++ < 10 TeV Not as complete as susy: more physics > 10 TeV
Generic LittleHiggs Spectrum Loop cancellation mechanisms Supersymmetry Little Higgs
Higgsless Models • Four-dimensional versions: Strong WW scattering @ TeV, incompatible with precision data? • Break EW symmetry by boundary conditions in extra dimension: delaystrong WW scattering to ~ 10 TeV? Kaluza-Klein modes: mKK > 300 GeV? compatibility with precision data? • Warped extra dimension + brane kinetic terms? Lightest KK mode @ 300 GeV, strong WW @ 6-7 TeV
Proton- Proton Collider 7 TeV + 7 TeV Luminosity = 1034cm-2sec-1 The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) • Primary targets: • Origin of mass • Nature of Dark Matter • Primordial Plasma • Matter vs Antimatter

Why Supersymmetry (Susy)? • Hierarchy problem:why is mW << mP ? (mP ~ 1019 GeV is scale of gravity) • Alternatively, why is GF = 1/ mW2 >> GN = 1/mP2 ? • Or, why is VCoulomb >> VNewton ? e2 >> G m2 = m2 / mP2 • Set by hand? What about loop corrections? δmH,W2 = O(α/π) Λ2 • Cancel boson loops fermions • Need | mB2 – mF2| < 1 TeV2
It stabilizes the Higgs potential for low masses Other Reasons to like Susy It enables the gauge couplings to unify Approved by Fabiola Gianotti
