  1. Presentation for the Science Advisory Board of HIP Helsinki, 15.5.2007 Project proposal:Laws of nature and condensed particle matter at LHCin the HIP Theory program 2008-2013 Project leader: Kimmo Tuominen

  2. 1. Personnel & locations The project BSM Condensed particle matter Katri Huitu, prof. HYFL (Leader of the Helsinki group) Kimmo Tuominen, doc. JYFL (Project leader) 2 postdocs @ HYFL, HIP 3 graduate students @ HYFL 1 graduate student @ JYFL Funding from GRASPANP, foundations, HIP Kari J. Eskola, prof. JYFL Kimmo Tuominen, doc. JYFL 2 Postdocs @ JYFL, JYFL/HIP 5 graduate students @ JYFL Funding from GRASPANP, foundations, HIP JYFL = Dept. Of Physics, Univ of Jyväskylä, SA = Academy of Finland HYFL= Dept. Of Phys.Sci., Univ of Helsinki, GRASPANP = Grad. Sch. For Particle & Nucl. Phys.

  3. 2. Physics Study fundamental questions 2.1 Beyond Standard Model (BSM) phenomenology Tevatron (Now) Origin of mass? Why generations? • Dynamics of symmetry breaking • Electroweak symmetry, SUSY, CP • Dynamics of flavor • Rare decays, GUTs LHC (2008--) by confronting theory • Supersymmetric models, • models with extra dimensions, • New gauge interactions ILC/CLIC with experiments • Detailed collider phenomenology for Tevatron, LHC & ILC • Dark matter observations

  4. 2. Physics BNL/RHIC (NOW) Study fundamental questions 2.2 Condensed particle matter Properties of hot and dense matter? • Phases at high T and density • QCD matter: • critical point, EoS, transport coeff., color supercond., … • Electroweak matter: • order of the transition, … LHC/ALICE (2008--) by confronting theory • QCD, (B)SM GSI/SIS (2012--) with experiments • Detailed collider phenomenology for • RHIC, LHC/ALICE, GSI/SIS • Astrophysical & Cosmological observations

  5. Long traditions in Helsinki & Jyväskylä • Closely interconnected • Collaborations: e.g. Eskola, Kajantie, Ruuskanen,Tuominen; Huitu, Maalampi • Contacts to experiments: e.g. Kinnunen, Lehti (HIP/Hki), Orava, Österberg (HYFL); Rak (JYFL) • Common participation in international activities • EU & Nordic projects e.g. Huitu, Osland • European Graduate School (Giessen-Copenhagen-Hki-Jlä-Torino) • Workshops & Meetings • Good international contacts • Collaborations with institutions in Europe, USA & Asia • Close contact with CERN

  6. From past highlights (i) Honkavaara, Huitu, Roy, Phys. Rev. D73, 2006 • how to measure the • sneutrino-antisneutrino • -mixing at the LHC ? At LC: measure sneutrino and antisneutrino mixing  information on neutrino sector parameters • Dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking: • New technicolor theories. • (Sannino,Tuominen, PR D71 2005) • Consistent with current data • at 68 % confidence! • Testable at LHC

  7. From past highlights (ii) Comprehensive description of URHIC RHIC data - test the approach - controlled LHC prediction - affects ALICE Eskola, Honkanen, Niemi, Ruuskanen, Räsänen (05)

  8. to the future: • BSM: • collider phenomenology: SUSY, technicolor, extra dimensions, … • nature of electroweak symmetry breaking • CP-violation: B physics (CP breaking mechanism) • rare decays: Hints about underlying new physics • new particle searches: SUSY partners, technihadrons, new gauge bosons,… • SUSY breaking: signals of different breaking mechanisms • dark matter candidates:technihadrons, new heavy fermions (SUSY or non-SUSY) • techniques:perturbative QFT, non-perturbative methods: lattice, dualities, eff. theories,… • Condensed particle matter: • QCDdynamics near Tc:effective FTFTs of Polyakov loops & quark/chiral dofs. • finite densities:location of the critical point • URHIC & QGP – focus on LHC phenomenology: • QGP initial state:production dynamics, gluon saturation/CGC, thermalization,... • QGP evolution:EoS effects, predict flow effects for LHC, viscous effects • QGP signals:jet E-losses, thermal em. probes vs. other hard probes,... • techniques:eff. theories beyond mean fields, improved hydro codes, NLO pQCD analyses (nPDFs etc), ...

  9. Within the HIP project: • combined resources & expertise, • intensified researcher training, • growth of the fields in hosting institutions
