1 Unification without Doublet-Triplet Splitting SUSY Exotics at the LHC Jürgen Reuter Carleton University, Ottawa University of Freiburg W. Kilian, J. Reuter, PLB B642 (2006), 81, and work in progress (with F. Deppisch) MSU, East Lansing, March 20, 2007

2 The Standard Model (SM) Theorist s View Renormalizable Quantum Field Theory (only with Higgs!) based on SU(3) c SU(2) L U(1) Y non-simple gauge group Reducible representation: 750 MH[GeV] q (3, 2) 1 3 l (1, 2) 1 u c (3, 1) 4 d c (3, 1) e c (1, 1) H (1, 2) Λ[GeV] Incompleteness Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Higgs boson Origin of neutrino masses Dark Matter: mdm 100 GeV Theoretical Dissatisfaction 28 free parameters strange fractional U(1) quantum numbers Hierarchy problem

3 Conventional and MSSM Unification Supersymmetry: consistent extrapolation to high scales unification quantitatively testable (assuming a given spectrum) two Higgs doublets H u, H d superpartners for all SM particles, presumably in the TeV range Running of 1/α, MSSM, i.e. with 1 [H u H d ] 1/α 1 1/α 2 1/α 3 Bottom-Up Approach: just MSSM µ [GeV] Unification of leptons and quarks by Pati/Salam: G SM G PS = SU(4) c SU(2) L SU(2) R Z 2 Each matter family in irreducible rep. (incl. ν R, 2nd Higgs doublet): 1974 Unification of gauge couplings by Georgi/Glashow: G SM G GG = SU(5) Matter representation for SU(5) is reducible (classically) Simple-group unification: partial unification of leptons/quarks

5 Quantum numbers q 3 5 Hypercharge: λ 12 Y = Y = 1 diag( 2, 2, 3, 3, 3) Quantized hypercharges are fixed by non-abelian generator Weak Isospin: T1,2,3 = λ 9,10,11/2 Electric Charge: Q = T 3 + Y/2 = diag( 1, 1, 1, 1, 0) Prediction for the weak mixing angle (with RGE running): α 1 (M Z) = (2), α s(m Z) = (20), s 2 w(m Z) = (3) non-susy: s 2 w(m Z) = 23 + α(m Z ) α s(m Z ) 201

6 Quantum numbers q 3 5 Hypercharge: λ 12 Y = Y = 1 diag( 2, 2, 3, 3, 3) Quantized hypercharges are fixed by non-abelian generator Weak Isospin: T1,2,3 = λ 9,10,11/2 Electric Charge: Q = T 3 + Y/2 = diag( 1, 1, 1, 1, 0) Prediction for the weak mixing angle (with RGE running): α 1 (M Z) = (2), α s(m Z) = (20), s 2 w(m Z) = (3) non-susy: s 2 w(m Z) = 23 + α(m Z ) 134 α s(m Z ) SUSY: s 2 w(m Z) = 1 + α(m Z ) 7 5 α s(m Z ) 15 New Gauge Bosons Two colored EW doublets: (X, Y ), ( X, Ȳ ) with charges ± 4 3, ± 1 3

7 Fermions (Matter Superfields) The only possible way to group together the matter: d c 0 u c u c u d d c 5 = : d c 1 u c 0 u c u d 10 = : u c u c 0 u d l 2 u u u 0 e c ν l d d d e c 0 Remarks 5 = (3, 1) 2 3 (1, 2) 1 10 = (3, 2) 1 3 (3, 1) 4 3 (1, 1) 2 2 = = 2, (5 5)a = 10, (3 3) a = 3, ( ) a = Quarks and leptons in the same multiplet Fractional charges from tracelessness condition (color!) 5 and 10 have equal and opposite anomalies ν c must be SU(5) singlet

8 The Doublet-Triplet Splitting Problem MSSM Higgses included in 5 H 5 H ( ) D 5 H = (3, 1) 2 (1, 2) 1 : 3 H u ( ) D c 5 H = (3, 1) 2 (1, 2) 1 : 3 ɛh d D, D c colored triplet Higgses with charges ± 1 3 (EW singlet) colored Dirac fermion D with charge 1/3 (EW singlet) Unification requires omitting colored part of SU(5) Higgs 5 H, 5 H Doublet-triplet splitting problem (m H 100 GeV, m D GeV) Welcome, since SU(5)-symmetric Higgs interactions would read H = lh d e c + qɛh d d c + qɛld c + d c u c D c 10 5 H 10 = lh d e c + qɛh u u c + Du c e c + Dqɛq Generating SM masses leptoquark and diquark coupl. for D, D c triggers rapid proton decay

9 Interactions e e ν Leptoquark couplings d X u Y d Y (and SUSY vertices) u u Diquark couplings u X d Y (and SUSY vertices) Vector bosons induce e.g. decay p e + π 0 u u Y d e + d

10 Doublet-Triplet Splitting Possible scenarios: 1. Colored singlets are heavy (GUT scale) = doublet-triplet splitting enables exact unification near GeV and excludes rapid proton decay Proton decay may still be too fast (depending on the superpotential) Doublet-triplet splitting is not trivially available 2. Colored singlets are light (TeV scale) Simple unification no longer happens near GeV, nor elsewhere Running of 1/α, MSSM with 1 [(H u,d) (H d,d c )] 1/α 1 1/α 2 1/α µ [GeV] Proton-decay coupl. must be excluded: consistent with GUT symmetry?

11 Further MSSM Issues Even if doublet-triplet splitting is accepted, the MSSM Higgs sector appears ad-hoc: µ problem µ-term µh u H d is supersymmetric, in principle not related to soft-susy-breaking Lagrangian: Why is it O(100 GeV), not O(10 16 GeV)? Possible extension as a solution: singlet Higgs S with superpotential λsh uh d λ S H uh d = µh uh d (does not change the unification prediction) NMSSM, where S should be somehow related to soft-breaking Lagrangian How?

12 Radiative Symmetry Breaking MSSM with cutoff Λ GeV: major contribution to Higgs potential comes through Coleman-Weinberg mechanism: = + + Large top Yukawa coupl. drives effective H u mass squared negative: m 2 eff = (m2 H,soft + µ2 ) + (Λ 2 0) + m 2 t,soft 16π 2 ln m2 t,soft Such a mechanism may also be responsible for a S vev in the NMSSM requires the existence of a vectorlike pair of chiral superfields for instance, D and D c (colored) with coupling SDD c... as required by SU(5), if SHuH d is present would simultaneously give a Dirac mass to D. Without tree-level quartic coupling, the CW mechanism implies S 4πm soft, so S H. λ 2 Λ 2

13 Further MSSM Issues Even if doublet-triplet splitting is accepted, the MSSM Higgs sector appears ad-hoc: Why is there only one family of Higgs matter? Neither SU(5), nor G PS (nor SO(10)) does unify Higgs fields with SM matter...

14 Higgs-Matter Unification 1976: Trinification: Treat all interactions equally G Tri = SU(3) c SU(3) L SU(3) R Z 3 Multiplets: H u + H 0 d ν L L(1, 3, 3) = Hu 0 H d e L e c R νr c S Q R ( 3, 1, 3) = ( ) u c R d c R DR c u L d L = Q L (3, 3, 1) D L 1976: E 6 as superset of trinification (and SO(10)) with additional gauge bosons X(3, 3, 3) and X( 3, 3, 3) 78 irreducible multiplet (27) unifies all matter, Higgs, colored and neutral singlets (within each family) contains NMSSM, allows for radiative symmetry breaking in both singlet and doublet sectors

15 Higgs-Matter Unification Complete G Tri or E 6 multiplet: no unification Running of 1/α, MSSM with 3 [(H u,d) (H d,d c )] 1/α 1 1/α 2 1/α µ [GeV] Possible scenarios: 1. Omit one bi-triplet D, D c family doublet-triplet splitting 2. Add one extra MSSM Higgs family ESSM (S.King et al.) 3. Different unification pattern

16 Running With Triplets Bottom-up approach: MSSM with one generation of triplets 60 Running of 1/α, MSSM with 1 [(Hu, D) (Hd, D c )] SU(3)c SU(2)L SU(2)R 40 1/α1 1/α2 20 1/α3 1/α log (µ [GeV]) GeV: crossing of SU(2) L and U(1) Y unification to LR symmetry SU(2) L SU(2) R, requires ν c R SU(3) c crosses at GeV: too high

17 Running With Triplets Bottom-up approach: MSSM with one generation of triplets 60 Running of 1/α, MSSM with 1 [(Hu, D) (Hd, D c )] SU(4)c SU(2)L SU(2)R 40 1/α1 1/α2 20 1/α3 1/α log (µ [GeV]) GeV: crossing of SU(2) L and U(1) Y unification to LR symmetry SU(2) L SU(2) R, requires ν c R SU(3) c crosses at GeV: too high extend to SU(4) C : unification possible at GeV

18 Running With Triplets Complete Model: Full SUSY E 6 /G Tri matter spectrum above 10 3 GeV, except ν c 60 Running of 1/α, MSSM with 3 [(Hu, D) (Hd, D c )] SU(4)c SU(2)L SU(2)R 40 1/α1 20 1/α2 1/α log (µ [GeV]) PS symmetry with ν R above GeV Q L = (Q, L) = (4, 2, 1) D = (D, D c ) = (6, 1, 1) Q R = ((u c, d c ), (ν c, l c )) = (4, 1, 2) S = (1, 1, 1) H = (H u, H d ) = (1, 2, 2) E 6 symmetry (and possibly extra fields) at GeV

19 Flavor Symmetry Proton decay? Once triplets are included, a PS-symmetric superpotential contains leptoquark and diquark couplings simultaneously: DQ R Q R = ɛ αβγ ɛ jk D α (Q R ) βj (Q R ) γk Possible solution: extra flavor symmetry SU(3) F (or SO(3) F ) D diquark coupling with SU(2) R, SU(3) c, SU(3) F : DQ R Q R = ɛ abc ɛ αβγ ɛ jk D a α(q R ) b βj(q R ) c γk Vanishes due to total antisymmetry no proton decay Analogous for ɛ abc ɛ αβγ ɛ jk (D c ) a α(q L ) b βj (Q L) c γk Leptoquark coupling of D not affected Eff. superpotential from (spontan.) breaking of LR and/or flavor symm.: Exclude spurions ɛ αβγ (color space) diquark couplings absent Integrating out heavy fields: baryon number as low-energy symmetry, flavor symmetry not

20 Sample Implementation Toy Model (no dynamics!) Extend E 6 SU(3) F to E 8... by implementing N = 2 supersymmetry: We have: matter 273 and gauge Add: mirror matter 27 3 supersymmetrize by adding matter and gauge Decomposition of reps. in E 8 E 6 SU(3) F : 248 = Result: matter 248 and gauge 248 (fundamental = adjoint)

21 Sample Implementation Top-down 1. Somewhat below M Planck N = 2 N = 1 breaking removes mirror matter, leaving E6 zero mode of chiral matter 27 3, maybe adjoint matter 78 1 and 1 8 Flavor SU(3) on the zero modes (would be anomalous) is broken by colorless spurions, e.g., condensate 1 8. E6 is broken to G PS by colorless spurions, e.g., bilinear = Higgs µ term H u H d in the 27 3 mirror representation Additional allowed spurion = Singlet 11, 1 = S (3. gen.) Note: all spurions so far break flavor as well Result: PS symmetry all MSSM superpotential terms allowed, but subject to PS symmetry and flavor constraints (no quark mixing) Flavor dynamics in higher-dim. superpotential due to 1 8 matter exchange

22 Sample Implementation 2. At GeV Condensate in adjoint matter representation: 78 1 = WR 23 + higher-dimensional terms ( ) 2 W 23 R W 32 R S S ν R Majorana mass PS symmetry broken to SM ν R ν R Leptoquark couplings possible for D, D c, but no diquark couplings

23 Sample Implementation 3. At 10 3 GeV Soft-breaking terms (hidden sector) induce radiative symmetry breaking S via D/D c loops µ D -term D c S D (Dirac masses) µ H -term H u S H d Z mass if the extra U(1) broken by S was gauged... with flavor mixing 4. At 10 2 GeV Soft-breaking + effective µ-term induce radiative symmetry breaking H u via t/t c loops H d due to Higgs superpotential + soft-breaking terms Dirac masses for all charged MSSM matter Majorana masses (see-saw) for ν L... again, with flavor mixing

24 Dark Matter MSSM Higgses: Hu f, H f d with f = 1, 2, 3 VEV selects single direction (taken as f = 3) in family space 1 gen. MSSM Higgses, 2 gen. unhiggses (2 bi-doublets = 8 charged and 8 neutral scalars + fermion superpartners) In gauge interactions, unhiggses are pair-produced, thus suppressed in precision data, but also Yukawa interactions 1) FCNC 2) resonant single production in q q or e + e annihilation Unhiggses very heavy or artificially aligned or suppressed (approximate?) H parity: odd for unhiggses, even otherwise And why not? Flavor symmetry removes the need for R parity anyway. If H parity is exact: lightest unhiggs: H parity protected dark matter Pair production of unhiggses/unhiggsinos, cascade decays... and R parity is exact: dark matter mix: interesting relic abundance (relaxes all neutralino bounds!)

25 A little bit of Pheno Next step: Provide a viable low-energy spectrum At LHC: 1) 1 3 pairs of scalar leptoquarks D L, D R. probably heavy 1 TeV (but hierarchy is possible) Deppisch/Kilian/JR pair-produced in gg fusion at LHC decay into lu and νd: generation-diagonal, or just third-generation: τt and νb or generation-crossed (flavor symmetry!): ec, eb, µd,te, tµ... gq Dl production enhanced or, if R-parity is violated, may mix with down-type squarks. 2) 1 3 fermionic leptoquarkinos D are probably heavy as well, but somewhat lighter than scalars (because m 2 = λ S 2 + m 2 soft) are also pair produced (maybe singly if R-parity is violated) decay into lj, or l q, or ν q rich signatures! spin measurement distinguishes from ordinary squarks

26 A little bit of Pheno 3) (non)"standard" MSSM Higgs Relaxed Higgs bounds (like in NMSSM) Possibly large invisible decay ratio ( χ 0, a) 4) 2 4 doublets of unhiggses probably only pair-produced: Drell-Yan, maybe Higgs decays (singlets involved) missing-energy signatures, unique identification could be difficult: ILC? 5) 1 3 singlet scalars + pseudoscalars masses, properties? 6) and all associated neutralinos ( 11) and charginos ( 4) large and complicated chargino/neutralino mixing matrices. Decay chains at LHC become difficult to understand. 7) Either heavy Z (gauged NMSSM) or light pseudo-axion(s) η corresponding to extra U(1) Conclusion: LHC phenomenology rich... and confusing

27 Summary 3 independent building blocks for exotic SUSY phenomenology Color-triplet leptoquark scalars/fermions are present in the low-energy spectrum leads to a different unification pattern favoring PS symmetry above the R-neutrino mass scale Flavor symmetry prohibits proton decay instead of (or in addition to) R parity Superpotential terms are due to GUT- and flavor-breaking therefore do not exhibit GUT relations Higgs sector is flavored Unhiggses (1st and 2nd generation) carry conserved quantum number Unhiggses dark matter candidates Ordinary MSSM stuff might decay via R-parity violation Confusing LHC pheno, but handle to GUT scale
