From the Tevatron to the LHC Cosener’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 Te. V (1000 Ge. V) • Why so many types of matter particles? matter-antimatter difference? • Unification of the fundamental forces? at very high energy ~ 1016 Ge. V? probe directly via neutrino physics, indirectly via masses, couplings • Quantum theory of gravity? All these issues tackled extra space-time dimensions? by the LHC (Tevatron)
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
The Electroweak Vacuum • Generating particle masses requires breaking gauge symmetry: m. W, Z =/= 0 <0|XI|0> =/= 0 m. W 2 = m. Z 2 cos 2 θW => I = ½ • I = ½ also needed for fermion masses • What is X? Elementary or Composite?
Elementary Higgs or Composite? • Higgs field: <0|H|0> =/= 0 • Problems with loops • Fermion-antifermion condensate • Just like QCD, BCS superconductivity Cutoff Λ = 10 Te. V • Top-antitop condensate? needed mt > 200 Ge. V • New technicolour force? inconsistent with • Cut-off Λ ~ 1 Te. V with precision electroweak data? Supersymmetry?
Searches for the Higgs Boson Indirect: • Direct: • Precision electroweak measurements at LEP, SLC, etc • Predicted successfully mt = 160 – 180 Ge. V • Sensitive to mass of Higgs boson m. H < 200 Ge. V ? • LEP Searches for e+ e- -> Z + H • Hint seen in late 2000 now < 2 σ Current Limit: m. H > 114. 4 Ge. V
Waiting for the Higgs boson m. H > 114. 4 Ge. V 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?
Heretical Interpretation of EW Data Do all the data tell the same story? e. g. , AL vs AH What attitude towards LEP, Nu. Te. V? What most of us think
Higgs + Higher-Order Operators Precision EW data suggest they are small: why? But conspiracies are possible: m. H could be large, even if believe EW data …? Do not discard possibility of heavy Higgs Corridor to 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 MT < 2 Te. V (mh / 200 Ge. V)2 MW’ < 6 Te. V (mh / 200 Ge. V)2 • Higgs light, other new MH++ < 10 Te. V physics heavy Not as complete as susy: more physics > 10 Te. V
Generic Little Higgs Spectrum Loop cancellation mechanisms Supersymmetry Little Higgs
Higgsless Models • Four-dimensional versions: Strong WW scattering @ Te. V, incompatible with precision data? • Break EW symmetry by boundary conditions in extra dimension: delay strong WW scattering to ~ 10 Te. V? Kaluza-Klein modes: m. KK > 300 Ge. V? compatibility with precision data? • Warped extra dimension + brane kinetic terms? Lightest KK mode @ 300 Ge. V, strong WW @ 6 -7 Te. V

Why Supersymmetry (Susy)? • Hierarchy problem: why is m. W << m. P ? (m. P ~ 1019 Ge. V is scale of gravity) • Alternatively, why is GF = 1/ m. W 2 >> GN = 1/m. P 2 ? • Or, why is VCoulomb >> VNewton ? e 2 >> G m 2 = m 2 / m. P 2 • Set by hand? What about loop corrections? δm. H, W 2 = O(α/π) Λ 2 • Cancel boson loops fermions • Need | m. B 2 – m. F 2| < 1 Te. V 2
Other Reasons to like Susy It enables the gauge couplings to unify It stabilizes the Higgs potential for low masses Approved by Fabiola Gianotti
