1 Physics Beyond the Standard Model FIRST RIO-SACLAY MEETING ΛCDM And Some of Its Variants: An Overview "A scientist commonly professes to base his beliefs on observations, ons, not theories. Theories, it is said, are useful in suggesting new ideas and new lines of investigation for the experimenter; but "hard facts" are the only proper ground for conclusions. I have never come across anyone who carries this profession into practice -- certainly not the hard-headed headed experimentalist, who is the more swayed by his theories because he is less accustomed to scrutinise them. Observation is not sufficient. We do not believe our eyes unless we are first convinced that what they appear to tell us is credible". Arthur Eddington in the Expanding Universe" Instituto de Física Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Ioav Waga December 4-15, 006

2 ΛCDM is in excellent accordance with current cosmological observations. What motivates us to look for alternatives?

3 The cosmological constant problems I-Why is the vacuum energy density so small? Watson - "Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?" Holmes - "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time." Watson - But Holmes, the dog did nothing in the night-time! " Holmes - "That was the curious incident." Sherlock Holmes in "The Adventure of Silver Blazes" ( ) 10 ( ) Why ρ obs estim vac 10 ρvac? Theory and observations differ by 10 orders of magnitud!!!

4 The cosmological constant problem - I vacuum minimum energy state. Gliner 1965 T = Lorentz invariance vac vac ρ g µν µν perfect fluid T = ( + p) u u pg µν µ ν µν ρ We can consider the vacuum as a perfect fluid with the following equation of state: p vac = ρ vac EE take the form: G = 8πGT + 8πGρ g +Λg µν µν µν µν m vac µν µν = 8 πgt +Λ g. Λ m eff eff =Λ+ 8πG ρ vac 4

5 The cosmological constant problem - I Outside GRT vacuum energy is irrelevant. In quantum mechanics we have zero-point energy (uncertainty principle) Zero-point energy of fields contribute to the dark energy density. See (Adler, Casey & Jacob; Am. J. Phys., 63, july 95 and Zel dovich, Sov. Phys. 4, 16, 81 ) 1 ρvac = dkk k m ultraviolet divergence ρ k 4π k max if kmax 10 Gev ρ vac 10 g / cm 10 GeV 16π max 4 vac j ( 1) (j + 1) 0 supersymmetry ρvac = dkk k + m 4π 18 3 if k 1Tev ρ 10 g / cm vac ρ c0 =1.879 h 10 g/cm = h 10 GeV Zel dovich 5

6 The cosmological constant problem - I what local observations can tell us? Λ 0 Advance of the Mercury perihelia precession Λeff ( ) arc sec/ century cm Λ < 10 Observed precession 43.1±0.1 arcsec/century GRT arcsec/century eff 4 1 eff 10 Λ cm 10 cm 1kpc cm 4 The Newtonian potential would have a significant term in the galactic scale. ρ ρ cluster Λ eff 10 g/ cm cluster 8 3 < ρ Λ < Ω < eff F m cm or Λ 10. GM 1 = Λ r 3 cr 6

7 The cosmological constant problem - I 8 Λ 8πG ρ +Λ 10 eff = vac < < Λ Λ 10 9 Λ Λ QFT eff QFT = 1+ Λ Λ QFT QFT Fine tuning (k max = Gev) How to deal with this? Λ = Λ QFT = 0 ; (another field act as an effective Λ) Λ = 0 & Λ QFT is small Λ eff = Λ(t) 7

8 The cosmological constant problems The cosmological constant problem - II Why now? Why do we live at a special time when ρ Λ is comparable to ρ m? nr rad 1 Ω r Ω m curv Λ 0 Ω Λ

9 The cosmological constant problem - II Cosmic Coincidence Why do we live at a special time when Ω Λ is comparable to Ω m? Λ Dark energy 70% 30% Matter a =1/5 a =1/ a =1 a = a =5 Today For ΛCDM, the why now problem coincides with the initial condition problem (to be discussed).

10 Some questions we would like to answer What is the nature of the dark energy (DE)? Is it Λ, quintessence or even a more exotic component? How does the DE equation of state evolve? Is w constant or w=w(t)? Is w<-1? Why now? Are dark matter (DM) and DE coupled? Is cosmic acceleration a manifestation of a new gravitation theory? Extra dimensions? Are DM and DE really different substances? Is it possible to have a unified scenario (UDM or quartessence )?

15 What is the nature of the dark energy? Is ΛCDM the best candidate to explain the cosmic acceleration? To explain cosmic acceleration, alternatives to ΛCDM modify Einstein equations in two different ways: a) left side (geomet ry) 1 ( m) R Rg + L ( g ) = 8π G T µν µν µν µν µν b)right side (energy-momentum tensor) 1 ( m) R Rg = 8 πg T + T () φ µν µν µ ν µν

19 Phantom What mechanisms lead to phantom behavior? 1. Braneworld cosmological models. Scalar-tensor gravity 3. Minimal coupled scalar field with a negative kinetic term 4 1 µν S = d x g g µ φ νφ V ( φ) If the potential has a maximum it is possible to avoid Big Rip. Most of this kind of phantom models are plagued with quantum instabilities. See Carrol et al PRD 68,03509 (003) and Cline et al PRD 70,043543, (004).

PRD 59, 13504, 99 In this case the field remains frozen until ρ φ ~ ρ TR and then the field starts to follow the tracking solution. ) ρ ρ ρ initial initial initial TR φ B In this case the field enters a phase of kinetic energy domination (w φ ~1), ρ φ decreases fast, ρ φ ~ a -6 overshooting the tracking solution, after that the field frozen and when ρ φ ~ ρ TR the field starts to follow the tracking solution.

28 Tracker solution radiation tracker matter undershooting overshooting ρ Λ Steinhardt et al. PRD59 59,, 13504, For power-law potentials it is difficult o achieve tracking before matter-radiation equality with w 0 ~ -1.
