5 1. iggs Theory Standard Model (SM) of the electroweak and strong interaction SM: Quantum field theory interaction: exchange of field quanta Construction principle of the SM: gauge invariance Example: Quantum electro-dynamics (QED) field quanta: photon A µ e e γ nucleus L QED invariant under gauge transformation: Ψ e i e λ(x) Ψ, A µ A µ + µ λ(x) mass term for photon: m 2 A µ A µ not gauge invariant A µ is massless gauge field Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/2

6 Problem: Gauge fields Z, W +, W are massive explicite mass terms in the Lagrangian breaking of gauge invariance Solution: iggs mechanism scalar field postulated, mass terms from coupling to iggs field iggs sector in the Standard Model: Scalar SU(2) doublet: Φ = iggs potential: φ+ φ 0 ) V( Φ + 0, Φ µ 2>0 V (φ) = µ 2 Φ Φ + λ Φ Φ 2, λ > 0 µ 2 < 0: Spontaneous symmetry breaking µ 2 minimum of potential at Φ 0 = 2 λ v 2 v/ 2 Φ + 2 µ<0 Φ 0 Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/3

7 Φ = v + (unitary gauge) : elementary scalar field, iggs boson Lagrange density: L iggs = (D µ Φ) (D µ Φ) g d Q L Φd R g u Q L Φ c u R V (Φ) with id µ = i g 2 I W g1 Y B Φ c = iσ 2 Φ Q L u L d L, Φ 0 v, Φ c v 0 Gauge invariant coupling to gauge fields mass terms for gauge bosons and fermions Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/4

8 1.) V V ΦΦ coupling: V + v q 2 1 q 2 + j 1 q 2 ( ) 2 gv 1 2 q 2 j = 1 q 2 M 2 : M2 = g 2v2 2 2.) fermion mass terms: Yukawa couplings: f + v q 1 q + j 1 q [ ] gf v j 1 = 2 q 1 q m f : m f = g f v 2 Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/5

9 1.) V V ΦΦ coupling: v x x v V V VV mass terms: g 2 2 v2 /2 M 2 W, (g2 1 + g2 2 )v2 /2 M 2 Z v x V V V V triple/quartic couplings to gauge bosons coupling masses Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/6

10 2.) fermion mass terms: Yukawa couplings f f v x f f m f = v g f coupling masses 3.) mass of the iggs boson: self coupling v x λ... λ = M 2 /v M = v λ free parameter v x last unknown parameter of the SM establish iggs mechanism find the iggs measure its couplings Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/7

11 Another effect of the iggs field: Scattering of longitudinal W bosons: W L W L W L W L W M V = γ, Z W violation of unitarity W W + γ, Z + = g 2 E 2 M 2 W + O(1) for E Contribution of a scalar particle with couplings prop. to the mass: W W M S = W W + = gww 2 E2 MW 4 + O(1) for E M tot = M V + M S = E2 ( g 2 MW 4 WW g 2 MW 2 ) +... compensation of terms with bad high-energy behavior for g WW = g M W Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/8

12 What else do we know about the iggs boson? Running of iggs self-interaction: λ t Renormalization group equation: d λ d t = 3 8 π 2 [ λ 2 + λg 2 t g 4 t ( 2g (g g2 1 )2)], t = log ( Q 2 v 2 ) Two conditions: 1.) avoid Landau pole (for large λ M 2 ) 2.) avoid vacuum instability (for small/negative λ) Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/9

13 1.) avoid Landau pole (for large λ M 2 ) d λ d t λ(q 2 ) = = 3 8 π 2 [ λ 2 ] λ(v 2 ) ( 1 3λ(v2 ) 8 π 2 log Q 2 v 2 ) λ(λ) < M 2 8 π2 v 2 3log ( Λ 2 ) v 2 : upper bound on M 2.) avoid vacuum instability (for small/negative λ): V (v) < V (0) λ(λ) > 0 d λ = 3 [ d t 8 π 2 gt ( 2g (g2 2 + g2 1 )2)] λ(q 2 ) = λ(v 2 ) 3 8 π 2 λ(λ) > 0 M 2 > v2 4 π 2 [ g 4 t [ g 4 t ( 2g (g g2 1 )2)] log ( 2g (g g2 1 )2)] log ( Λ 2 v 2 ) ( ) Q 2 v 2 : lower bound Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/10

14 Both limits combined: m t = 174 GeV M (GeV) Landau pole Potential bounded from below Λ (GeV) Λ: scale up to which the SM is valid Λ = M GUT 130 GeV < M < 180 GeV Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/11

15 2. Electroweak Precision Observables (EWPO): Comparison of electro-weak precision observables with theory: EW Precision data: Theory: M W,sin 2 θ eff, a µ SM, MSSM,... Test of theory at quantum level: Sensitivity to loop corrections, e.g. SM: limits on M Very high accuracy of measurements and theoretical predictions needed Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/12

16 Example: prediction of M W Theoretical prediction for M W in terms of M Z, α, G µ, r: M 2 W ( 1 M2 W M 2 Z ) = π α 2 Gµ (1 + r) loop corrections Evaluate r from µ decay M W One-loop result for M W in the SM: [A.

17 Comparison of SM prediction of M W with direct measurements: r = 11g π 2 s 2 W c 2 W log ( M M W ) 80.5 LEP1 and SLD LEP2 and Tevatron (prel.) 68% CL general for EWPO: g 2 2 [ log ( M M W ) leading term: log(m ) + g 2 2 M 2 M 2 W first term M 2 with g4 2 light iggs boson preferred ] m W [GeV] α m [GeV] [LEPEWWG 07] m t [GeV] Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/14

18 Results for M from other EWPO: light iggs preferred by: M W, A LR l (SLD) heavier iggs preferred by: A FB b (LEP) keeps SM alive Γ Z σ 0 had R 0 l A 0,l fb A l (P τ ) R 0 b R 0 c A 0,b fb A 0,c fb A b A c A l (SLD) sin 2 θ lept eff (Q fb ) m W * Γ W * Q W (Cs) sin 2 θ (e e MS ) sin 2 θ W (νn) g 2 L (νn) g 2 R (νn) *preliminary M [GeV] light iggs boson preferred [LEPEWWG 07] Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/15

19 Global fit to all SM data: [LEPEWWG 07] M = GeV M < 144 GeV, 95% C.L Theory uncertainty α had = α (5) ± ± incl. low Q 2 data m Limit = 144 GeV χ 2 3 Assumption for the fit: SM incl. iggs boson no confirmation of iggs mechanism 2 1 Excluded Preliminary m [GeV] iggs boson seems to be light, M < 150 GeV Sven einemeyer Basics of iggs Physics presusy07 (Karlsruhe) I/16
