21 Beyond the Standard Model Strong hint for new physics: The hierarchy problem fermion loop corrections to Higgs mass are divergent Higgs mass should be of the order of the cutoff scale Λ (e.g. M Planck ) f H H MH = N λ [ f f 8π Λ + 6m f log Λ m m f f] + O(/Λ ) f in contradiction to indirect evidence for a light SM Higgs boson there must be something beyond the SM that modifies these corrections Two main options:. New physics at O( TeV) loop corrections stay reasonably small. New symmetry that suppresses loop corrections Most straightforward way: cancel fermion loops with boson loops f H H + f Cancellation exact for equal couplings and mass Ås H H =0

22 Supersymmetry The idea: particle physics is symmetric under transformation fermion boson implies one supersymmetric partner for each SM particle Superpartners are heavy SUSY must be broken Details of SUSY breaking mechanism unknown need to consider several models: gravity-, gauge-, anomaly-mediated breaking Predictions: Many new SUSY particles: Charginos/Neutralinos/Gluinos, Squarks, Sleptons Extended Higgs sector: 5 physical Higgs bosons h,h,a,h ± Mass (ev) h Z W τ µ t b c s d Mass (ev) ± H H,A h χ ± χ ± g ~, χ 0 χ 0 3 4, χ 0 χ 0 ~ l L ~ l R τ τ q ~, q ~ L R ~ t b ~ b ~ ~ t ν L 6 u e Particle Spectrum Particle Spectrum
