9 Standard Model Standard Model very successful Describes almost all physical phenomena to ~10-32 sec but it is an effective theory, cannot be the full story LEP1 LEP2 Z W 9

10 Problems with the Standard Model sin 2 θw, proton lifetime, many free parameters Why is electromagnetism so different than weak force? Why is the photon mass so different from the W/Z mass? Answer within SM: Higgs mechanism A field (spin-0) permeates all space; γ and W/Z couple differently Fairly elegant and economic explanation Quadratic divergence in the higgs mass Need to find the higgs boson ( p 2 ) = m 2 ( 2 Λ ) 2 + Cg Λ One of major motivations of the LHC experiments (CMS) CMS designed to discover the SM higgs within entire range of allowed masses m 2 2 dk 2 p 2 10

11 Problems with the Standard Model What is the composition of the missing mass (dark matter)? observation theory Dark matter! 2 mv GMm GM = v = 2 r r r How about dark (vacuum) energy? Huge energy density (10 54 times larger than observed the cosmological constant) 11

22 Search for the (SM) higgs boson 22

23 Supersymmetry For every particle in the SM, there is a super-partner with spin ½ difference In SUSY, the loops cancel naturally: Candidate for dark matter! 23

24 Supersymmetry SUSY doubles the particle spectrum must be a broken symmetry unseen till now SUSY enables the unification of the strong, weak and EM forces: 60 α α 1 α α 1 3 With SUSY Q (GeV) 8303A5 24

25 Search for Supersymmetry in CMS Many hard Jets Large missing energy 2 LSPs Many neutrinos Many leptons In a word Spectacular! 25

26 Large Extra Dimensions Number (D) of space-time dimensions form of force observed E+M: F~1/r 2 because D=3+1 For ants living in D=2+1 dimensions, E+M is actually a F~1/r force Side Conclusion: the running of the force changes in the presence of additional dimensions 26

27 Large Extra Dimensions Different models, different signatures: Channels with missing E T : E miss T +(jet/γ) (back-to-back) Direct reconstruction of KK modes (W. Z search) Warped extra dimensions (graviton excitations) 27

31 Summary Standard Model: cornerstone of 20 th century science great success, but still missing ingredients ( symmetry breaking sector Several unanswered questions (no gravity, dark matter,...) LHC/CMS designed to produce and search for the higgs, Designed also to explore all possible physics at TeV scale Studying all reactions of interest at higher energies LHC/CMS will definitely discover the higgs (if it is there) Possible signatures from supersymmetric particles Can also probe new and unexpected physics, even signs of extra dimensions Expectations: LHC will reformulate our understanding of nature at the most fundamental scale 31
