  6. Fundamental Objects Field particles or gauge bosons 8 gluons (graviton) --- --- < 6E-17 eV 80, 91 GeV other required objects Higgs bosons LR bosons > 114 GeV > 715 GeV

  7. Fundamental Interactions

  8. 4 Fundamental Interactions • QED – Quantum Electrodynamics • (electromagnetism) • QCD – Quantum Chromodynamics • (strong force) • QFD – Quantum Flavor Dynamics • (weak interaction) • Quantum Gravity

  9. Fundamental Interactions a = (vertex fn)2

  10. Comments on Fundamental Interactions • Range • photons are ‘stable’  DE = 0  cDt = ∞ • IVB are ‘unstable’  DE ~ 2 GeV  cDt ~ 0.1 cm • gluons – no info • Electric Charge • all quarks and e m t and W± can participate in QED • since g has no charge, g cannot interact with g ‘s. • Color • only quarks & gluons have color  participate in QCD • Since g has color, g can interact with g‘s  “glueballs” • Flavor • all quarks and leptons have “flavor”, therefore can participate in QFD

  11. Composite Objects • Hadrons • mesons – qq • baryons – qqq • quaterions – not observed • pentaquarks – i.d.i. • .

  12. QED • Stationary States • Reactions

  13. QED - Stationary States Some kind of experiment to excite the system e p

  14. Note: even though we have quessed a good potential function, we realize that we will have to include s-o, rel KE, Darwin, Lamb shift, ... -- and the perturbations could have been big.

  15. Feynmann Diagrams g e+ g e- e- e- time arrows are added to help identify particles versus antiparticles e+ e- e+ e+ g g e- e+ e- e-

  16. e- m- e+ e+ g g e- e- e+ m+ u e+ c e+ g g e- e-

  17. QCD • Stationary States • Reactions

  18. QCD - Stationary States

  19. confinement term K1 ~ 50 MeVfm K2 ~ 1000 MeV/fm ‘Coulomb’ term ? ? As a matter of fact, must have V  0 by about 1 fm.

  20. RUBBER BANDS stretch & break stretch 2 ends U = ½ k (Dx)2 4 ends QUARK PAIRS stretch & break the color field stretch

  21. How-To: quark-quark reactions meson ? meson ? spectator quarks Which pairs of quarks interacted?

  22. uG uR dR dG uR uG

  23. dR dG q = uds... uR uG Because aQCD > 1, higher order diagrams more important, can’t use perturbation theory. must use another technique to do calcs “string theory” “QCD is non-renormalizable.” (in this form)

  24. QFD • Stationary States • Reactions

  25. QFD – Stationary States need neutral & colorless system • bound system of neutrinos • not experimentally feasible • excited states of leptons • e* not observed below 90 GeV (1990) • would imply lepton compositeness  must learn about QFD from reactions

  26. e- Zo e+ QFD - Reactions Experimentally; gw = 1.7 !!! QFD is considered “weak” only because Zo, W± are massive !

  27. g e+ g e- e- e- arrows are added to help identify particles versus antiparticles e+ e- e+ e+ g g e- e+ e- e-

  28. W+ QFD – charged current d (-1/3) u W- (2/3) W- v (0) u e (2/3) (-1) d (-1/3) e W-

  29. Zo QFD – neutral current u (2/3) u Zo (2/3) e e e e+ Zo Zo

  30. QFD – “flavor changing neutral currents” Zo u (2/3) c (2/3) Zo Zo d (-1/3) s (-1/3) NOT OBSERVED – or at least very rare

  31. neutrino experiments ? ? W- d u (-1/3) (2/3)

  32. neutrino experiments e v W- e+ d u (-1/3) (2/3) W+ v only interact with neg quarks u d (2/3) (-1/3) …converse…

  33. Strange Goings-On • CPT • Parity Violation • Regeneration of the kaons • Time Reversal Violation • CKM & MNS Matrix • Quark mixing • Neutrino Mass-Mixing, a.k.a Neutrino Oscillations • Unification • Electroweak Interaction

  42. Neutrino Oscillations • Solar Neutrino Expts (KE ~ 1 MeV) • Homestake Mine, SD (Ray Davis) • Explanation w/i previously existing physics with proper calculation (MSW effect) • MSW effect: ve propagate through dense electrons in Sun • Atmospheric (KE ~ 1 GeV) (vacuum oscill) • Super Kamiokande • Improper ratio of vm to ve events. • Reactor Based (KE ~ 1 MeV) (vacuum oscill) • KamLAND, 53 reactors, anti-ve from fission product decay . • Event rate and energy spectrum • Energy spectrum inconsistent with ‘no oscillation’ • Accelerator Based (KE > 3 GeV) (vacuum oscill) • FermiLab vs Los Alamos • CERN & SanGrasso
