  1. The Large Hadron ColliderMachine, Experiments, PhysicsIntroduction to the lecture Johannes HallerThomas Schörner-Sadenius Hamburg UniversitySummer Term 2009

  2. A) WORKING LANGUAGE, STYLE • Style: informal! • – The material will not always be presented in the theoretically most rigorous style but in a rather pedagogical way. • – Many of the contents are difficult to understand – and it would be a pity if you got lost on the way. • Please ask all questions! I hope I can answer most of them immediately; if not, I will think about them and come back with an answer in the next session. Very often only your questions will bring out the full truth, in the sense that I am partially “betriebsblind” and will have problems to spot places where you might have problems.  You help your fellow students, and you help me in improving the lecture. • If NO objections: ENGLISH! • – … good opportunity for practice … • – … but only reasonable if nobody gets lost … • – … and if we can make sure that everybody understands everything … • Requires your active participation (questions, discussion, criticism). If objections: – slides in english, – but german as working language. Please bring typos, errors, etc. in thelecture / in the slides to my attention! UHH SS09: LHC

  10. 1.0 INTRODUCTION When starting a lecture on the LHC there are 4 questions which have to be answered: Why are we not satisfied with the current state of particle physics (i.e. the Standard Model)? What kind of extensions of the SM could we think of? What kind of machine do we need to increase our knowledgeand to go further than the SM? How could we possibly find (=detect) ‘new’ physics? In today’s quick overview I will briefly address these questions. You are not necessarily expected to understand all details of today’s lecture; having participated in former specializedHEP lectures might help. Otherwise you will (partially) be enlightened during the course of the lecture. UHH SS09: LHC

  11. 1.1 INTRODUCTION: THE STANDARD MODEL The Standard Model (SM) • - Renormalisable (local) gauge field theory with complex group structure: SU(3)C×SU(2)L×U(1)Y. • - Incorporates Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model (=QED + weak theory) and QCD. • - Complex Lagrangian (shown before EWSM)! Particle content of the Standard Model • - 6 quarks (plus their antiquarks) (spin ½) • - 3 charged and 3 neutral leptons (spin ½) • - Fermions organised in three families or generations! • - 8 gluons, W±, Z0, γ (spin 1) • - … what about the Higgs boson? • Particle interactions in the SM • Mediated by the exchange of one of the gaugebosons (g,W±,Z0,γ), depending on particle charges (EM, weak, color). • Calculable using perturbation methods (if hard energy scale present and couplings small), or (for QCD) on the lattice. H(?) UHH SS09: LHC

  12. 1.1 INTERMEZZO: QED AND QCD SM is invariant under local gauge transformationsand renormalisable. Postulate of local gauge leads to existence of gauge bosonsand fixes form of interactions. Using Euler-Lagrange equation on Lagrange density gives equations of motion (e.g. Dirac equation). Remember: QED – Gauge transformation (change of phase): – in accordance to that: covariant derivative and gauge boson A with fixed behaviour under gauge transformation: – Physics invariant! Noether theorem  conserved quantity: electric charge! Remember: QCD – Gauge transformation: Rotation in color space: – more complex structure of covariant derivative and of gluon fields under transformation (non-abelian theory with gluon self-interaction): – Physics (Lagrange density) invariant under color transformations. Remember: GSW Theory … next page k: rotation angles in color space, fjkl: structure constants j: rotation matrices (Gell-Mann, 33) UHH SS09: LHC

  13. 1.1 INTERMEZZO: GSW Glashow-Salam-Weinberg: SU(2)L×U(1)Y – covariant derivative: – The Wj are new vector fields (with their own kinetic terms). It follows: Invariant, if: – To get also the photon, include further U(1) IA (masses neglected): – Go from W,B fields to W,Z,photon: – Using … … we arrive at: UHH SS09: LHC

  14. 1.1 THE STANDARD MODEL: SUCCESSES H Z Z Z Z t Success of the SM: – No measurement to-date in contradiction to SM predictions!– SM does not only describe, but can predict – for example mass of top quark (in 1992!): – Underlying effect: Virtual corrections – higher order terms in perturbative SM expansions! Quadratic/logarithmic sensitivity to Mt, MH! – Especially combined fits to masses of t, W, H interesting (using variety of LEP/ TEVATRON data): – LEP: There are exactly 3 interacting neutrinos (plus perfect description of Z boson line shape)! UHH SS09: LHC

  15. 1.1 THE STANDARD MODEL: SUCCESSES Even Higgs mass predicted: – MH ~ 76 GeV, MH < 144 GeV (Δχ2=2.7, CL=95%). – But: Direct searches (yellow area) give higher limits: … first hint towards a problem? Going into a bit more detail: – Overall agreement of data with SM predictions is excellent: UHH SS09: LHC

  16. 1.1 THE STANDARD MODEL: SUCCESSES More EW physics: Cross-section ee WW (LEP): – Requires calculation of many diagrams! … and EW physics at HERA: – Electroweak unification established at HERA!– Neutral = charged current at high Q2! Photon: W boson: (MW)2 UHH SS09: LHC

  17. 1.1 THE STANDARD MODEL: SUCCESSES Also strong interactions precisely measured and described: – For example the strong coupling constant αS: – Or the proton structure from deep inelastic electron-proton scattering (HERA): Average αS(MZ) : 1% uncertainty: UHH SS09: LHC

  18. 1.1 THE STANDARD MODEL: SUCCESSES Jet cross-sections at HERA and Tevatron: Testing – Coupling αS; – PDFs fi;– Factorisation– PDF universality– QCD dynamics– … UHH SS09: LHC

  19. 1.2 PROBLEMS OF THE SM – large number of free (a-priori unknown) parameters: – Particle masses, mixing angles, couplings, … – Explanation for values in fundamental theory? – Gauge structure? – Why exactly three (?) generations? – Connection fermions – bosons? – Connection leptons – quarks (charge!)? Connection SU(2)L, U(1)Y and SU(3)C? – Without Higgs: SM diverges at 1 TeV! – Development of SM: story of avoiding singularities! – Only scalar boson can avoid divergencies. – Nature of EW symmetry breaking? – SM decoupled from gravitation! – In SM, no unification of couplings, masses etc. – Hoping for more fundamental theory to unify these parameters? – Hierarchy and fine-tuning problems? – Question of dark matter? – No SM candidate! UHH SS09: LHC

  20. 1.3 POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS OF THE SM Spin SM particles SUSY partners 1/2 Leptonen (e, ne, …) Quarks (u, d, …) Sleptonen (e, ne, …) Squarks (u, d, …) ~ ~ ~ ~ 1 Gluonen W Z0 Photon (g) Gluinos Wino Zino Photino ( g ) ~ 0 Higgs Higgsino 2 Graviton Gravitino Spin 0 1/2 1/2 3/2 Arguments for SUSY: – Why not? - compatible with all experimental data! – Last extension of Poincare group of SRT (after translation, rotation, Lorentz trafo, C,P,T). – Explanation of spin? – removes fermion-boson asymmetry! – Leads to unification of interactions (GUT). – Solves hierarchy problem. – Introduces dark matter candidate (LSP). – Predicts MH < 130 GeV. – Allows introduction of gravity – is limit of string theories at low energies. Discovery of SUSY similarly fundamental like discovery of antimatter! Many proposals on the market, some quite esoteric. Hottest candidates for discoveries at the LHC: – (one or more) Higgs bosons (note that “only” the SM Higgs boson would not solve too many of the above mentioned problems!). – Supersymmetry: - Symmetry between fermions and bosons proposed by Wess and Zumino in 1973.- introduce SUSY partner for all SM particles.- SUSY must be broken symmetry! UHH SS09: LHC

  21. 1.3 POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS OF THE SM – SUSY – Unification of gauge couplings in SUSY models! – Solution to hierarchy problem via SUSY corrections to Higgs diagrams! – Unification of masses! UHH SS09: LHC

  22. 1.3 POSSIBLE SM EXTENSIONS: SUSY ¶ SM Fits – precise measurement of Mt, MW allows exclusion SM and confirmation of SUSY? ¶ currently: … heavy SUSY prefered! UHH SS09: LHC

  23. 1.3 POSSIBLE SM EXTENSIONS: SUSY • If gravitation ~ 1/r2 expect rotational curves v(r) ~ 1/sqrt(r) (Kepler) Galaxy NGC6503 Solar system New form of invisible matter:Dark Matter = SUSY particles ? UHH SS09: LHC

  24. 1.4 MOTIVATION FOR THE LHC History of particle physics: Discoveries mostly done at hadron machines (cf. Livingston plot): – ISR: hard interactions  QCD! – SppS: W and Z! – Tevatron: top Quark UHH SS09: LHC

  25. 1.4 MOTIVATION FOR THE LHC Higgs, SUSY, ED, CI, …… all propose “new” physics at high energy scales and high particle masses Other view: We are interested in the smallest possible structures of matter • need high energy Problem in ring accelerators: synchrotron radiation! Loss per turn proportional to inverse of ring radius, to fourth power of energy and to fourth inverse power of particle mass: • Choose the heaviest reasonable particles in the largest possible radius! • … Large Hadron Collider ! History of particle physics: Discoveries mostly done at hadron machines (cf. Livingston plot): – ISR: hard interactions  QCD! – SppS: W and Z! – Tevatron: top Quark UHH SS09: LHC

  26. 1.5 LHC PHYSICS PROGRAM OVERVIEW Other BSM models: – Contact interactions – Extra dimensions – Technicolor – Extra Z bosons – … Forward and diffractive physics: – Total cross-section measurements – Understand diffraction – Saturation phenomena – Low-x physics Heavy ions: – Quark-gluon plasma – … … you name it … Standard Model physics: – Top: all quantum numbers – W,Z (and possibly PDFs from that?) – QCD studies (jets, prompt photons, strong coupling αS, …) important as background to all BSM studies! – Heavy flavours (b physics) All SM topics also have relevance for physics beyond the SM – either as backgrounds or because BSM physics could reveal itself in SM signatures … Higgs physics: – SM Higgs: Quantum numbers? – Higgs in SM extensions? – Little Higgs Supersymmetry: – Discover! – Understand: Which model? – What can we tell about physics at the highest scales (unification?).
