34 5.. Virtual mass effects: m top, m Higgs 34
35 Masses in the SM [SU(2) [SU(2)xU(1)] Boson masses: M W 2 = _ g w 2 v 2 M Z 2 = _ (g w 2 + g' w 2 )v 2 Μγ 2 = 0 Ground state value of Higgs field: v = [ 2 G F ] -_ 246 GeV Electroweak mixing angle: tanθ W = g' w /g w (Expt: sinθ W ) Fermion masses m f = g f v/ 2 Yukawa coupling g f unknown Higgs mass: M 2 Higgs = λv2 SM does not predict couplings masses unknown... BUT 35
36 Heavy Mass Constraints Top quark mass and Higgs boson mass enter SM calculations through higher order, virtual quantum corrections ( radiative corrections ). Loops modify the electroweak relations of the SM, for example the W propagator: m top 2 log(m Higgs2 ) Using W and Z boson precision measurements one can predict top quark mass: m t = 170±8 GeV direct measurement (CDF+D0) : m t = 174±5 GeV Higgs mass prediction is less precise (log(m H2 ) )! 36
37 Radiative ative Corrections (cont. cont.) For the W mass: m 2 W 1 m m 2 W 2 Z = C 1 r W C=π/ 2GF Measurement of and ± α ± Electroweak corrections: α ρ top + Higgs α: shift of the fine structure constant α α M Z ρ top : top quark mass correction ~ m 2 top +... Higgs : Higgs mass correction ~ log m H 2 /m 2 W + Similarly for effective EW mixing angle: sin 2 l eff = _ (1-g V /g A ) 2 l 2 l sin eff cos eff = C 2 m (1 r ) Z Z 37
38 Higgs Boson Mass Limits (90% CL) Using 16 million Z decays and 20,000 WW events: J. Erler hep-ph/ Indirect limit on m H from: Z boson lineshape Z asymmetries W mass νν scattering m H < 200 GeV (95% CL) Direct limit (LEP 2) m H > GeV (95% CL) Higgs Mass (GeV) m W Z line. Top mass (GeV) 38
39 Higgs mass in SM fits 39
40 6. Direct Search for SM Higgs Boson At LEP, Higgs boson production in association with Z boson (Higgsstrahlung) e + e - H Z Four final states: qq νν (i.e. missing energy), Ηl + l - (l, µ Ητ + τ Light Higgs boson (<120 GeV) decays dominantly in bb (90%) and τ + τ Expected number of Higgs bosons produced falls rapidly approaching the kinematic limit! m max 206GeV GeV Γ Z = 2.5 GeV Higgs search is NOT background free! ΣBkg( ZZ, WW, qqg) ~ 100 events 12 H =114GeV 40
41 WW and ZZ production cross sections WW ZZ 41
42 Likelihood Ratio L s+ b Q = L b Backgroundlike Signallike Expected from background only Minimum is M h =115 GeV s+b Observed s+b hypothesis is 32 times more likely than background only hypothesis! Stat. significance is 2.9 σ 42
43 Likelihood Results by Experiment Observed Background Signal + background (m H =115 GeV) Probability density Log Likelihood 43
44 Likelihood Results by Channel Observed Background Signal + background (m H =115 GeV) Probability density H Log Likelihood 44
45 Summary Higgs Search The combined result of 4 LEP experiments show a hint for the SM Higgs with a mass of M H =115 ± 1.3 GeV but statistical significance is only 2.9 sigma. Future experiments will decide, if first direct sign for Higgs boson or fluctuation! ATLAS ~ 1000 events in the peak LEP2 5σ 100 fb -1 45
46 7. Hints for Physics beyond SM Grand Unified Theory (GUT) : unification of coupling constants at high energy at Planck mass GeV Standard GUTs, or below ( E GeV) SUSY GUTs α s (M Z ) Prediction of strong coupling constant (from sin 2 θ W and α QED (M Z ) 46
47 What if M H =115 GeV? If M H =115 GeV then new physics must appear at a scale of 10 6 GeV If not, and SM valid up to GeV: 135 < M H < 180 GeV 47
48 Conclusion Unfortunately no discovery of signs for new physics at LEP BUT very rich exploitation of SM physics Three families with light neutrinos Precision electroweak results (~10-3 ) constrain SM m Z, m W,, Z-lineshape, quark and lepton asymmetries, α s (m Z ), running of α s electroweak quantum corrections have been demonstrated ( m top ) SM Higgs must be light: 113 GeV m Higgs 200 GeV (95% CL) quark mass mixing, CKM matrix more complete B d oscillations measured, hint for B s oscillations Direct searches SUSY no signal SM Higgs: a hint (~ 3sigma) for m Higgs = 115±1.3 GeV? Future good chances for TEVATRON and/or LHC to answer Higgs question, find SUSY particles or. 48
49 SM Physical Constants 1987 PDG 2000 Strong coupling constant: s : 0.12(2) (20) Weak mixing angle, sin 2 MS (m Z ) 0.230(6) (16) W boson mass: m W (GeV) (56) Z boson mass, m Z (GeV) (22) 49
