2 The Quest for the Origin of Mass: Status of iggs Particle Searches Abstract The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics offers a very successful description of the interactions of the fundamental constituents of matter at the smallest scales and highest energies accessible to current experiments. In particular, the global analysis of electroweak observables yields superb agreement with the SM predictions. A key ingredient of the SM is the postulated existence of a self-interacting scalar field, the iggs field, with a non-zero vacuum expectation value responsible for the spontaneous electroweak symmetry hiding and the generation of the W and Z mass. Within the SM, it is their interaction with the iggs field that gives rise to the mass of quarks and charged leptons. An experimentally important by-product of the SM electroweak symmetry hiding mechanism is the existence of the iggs particle. The search for the iggs is central to many particle physics efforts, and crucial to our understanding of the origin of mass. After a review of the concept of mass and of the SM, the status of searches for the SM iggs (LEP and Tevatron) and prospects for future discoveries (Tevatron and LC) are summarized. Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March
3 Mass and Newton The concept of mass lies at the heart of Newtonian physics F F ma = nd Law = GMm r Law of Universal Gravitation Sir Isaac Newton Mass appears as a primary characteristic of any physical object Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March 3

E E = mc m = c equivalence of mass and energy!! x v M = boxv x = v t E c v L c Isolated system: M Albert Einstein pulse M c = pulse L = M box x Mass now appears less basic, not so irreducible E Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March 4

Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March 5
6 Mass and Quantum Mechanics Radiation and Matter really are particulate Their dynamics is given by a quantum theory where waves associated with the particles give us a measure of the probability of the state of the particles de Broglie - Einstein The waves follow wave equations Dirac equation Maxwell equations ± e γ E = hν p = h λ What is waving?? One can learn about the structure of a crystal by studying e - diffraction λ = h o p =.3A for K = ev even if the electrons are sent one at at time!! Where is the mass of the electron? Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March 6
7 Mass and Quantum Field Theory The primary elements of reality are fields Particles are quanta of excitations of fundamental fields Particles acquire the properties of the field charge (global phase invariance) spin (field behavior under Lorentz transformation) mass ALL electrons and positrons are quanta of excitations of ONE Dirac field electrical charge ±e, spin /, same mass What does the mass of a field mean?

We are getting closer to mass without mass! Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March 9
10 Weak Interaction We want to obtain the weak interaction from a gauge principle But the weak interaction is mediated by massive particles, and boson mass terms violate gauge invariance... Furthermore, the weak interaction violates parity! Charged weak interaction is only felt by chiral-left particles chiral-right antiparticles Massless particles Massive particles Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March d d u negative chirality (eigenvalue of γ 5 ) Experiment maximal chirality violation W ν e e - u d u ν e W e - µ - ν µ chirality = helicity is Lorentz invariant chirality helicity spin flip! e - disfavoured e - spin e - spin handedness e - favoured Chirality and mass are not friendly neighbours Chiral gauge invariance SU() L violated by ALL mass terms! µ - spin
11 Goldstone Model We want: gauge invariance to generate interactions We need: gauge invariant mechanism to generate mass hidden symmetry (spontaneous symmetry breaking ) Consider a model where the equilibrium state is not unique nature makes a choice, hiding the invariance of the theory equilibrium state: all fields null, except one ϕ(x) Lorentz invariance ϕ(x) is a scalar Goldstone model: consider L V = µ ( ϕ) ( ϕ) V( ϕ) µ ( ϕ) = µ ϕ ϕ + λ( ϕ ϕ) λ > µ < Self-interacting Klein-Gordon field where m = µ µ v µ v V ϕ = ϕ = ϕ min = > µ > ( ) The equilibrium is characterized by 4 ϕ(x) is a complex scalar Nature spontaneously chooses, say, always possible because of global U() phase invariance V ( ϕ) µ < Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March λ ϕ = v eiθ v θ= ϕ = > µ λ µ > ϕ
12 Goldstone Model (continued) [ ] We write ( ) ϕ x = + σ( x) + iη( x) v where σ ( x ) and η ( x ) deviation of ϕ(x) from equilibrium. We get L L = int µ ( )( ) µ µ σ σ µ σ + ( )( ) µ η η vσ( σ + η ) λ( σ + η ) = λ 4 + L int measure the We can interpret and n.d.f do add up σ real Klein - Gordon field m = µ η real Klein - Gordon field m = Initially: complex ϕ After : real massive real massless σ η η n.d.f Goldstone boson field No truly massless Goldstone bosons are observed in nature We need a hidden symmetry mechanism that does not generate physical massless Goldstone bosons π, π +, π - come pretty close...

Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March 5
16 iggs Mechanism A room full of physicists chattering quietly is like space filled with the iggs field... a well-known scientist walks in, creating a disturbance as he moves across the room and attracting a cluster of admirers with each step... this increases his resistance to movement, in other words, he acquires mass, just like a particle moving through the iggs field... if a rumor crosses the room... it creates the same kind of clustering, but this time among the scientists themselves. In this analogy, these clusters are the Michel Lefebvre iggs particles University of Victoria, 8 March 6 ATLAS educational web page, adapted from an idea from Dr D. J. Miller

50 Beyond the Standard Model In principle, if 3 GeV < M < 8 GeV then the SM is viable to M PL But, SM one loop corrections M = ( M ) + bg Λ b O( ) ( M ) is parameter of fundamental theory The natural value for M is gλ, which leads to the expectation M Λ O g ( TeV) If Λ >> TeV, need unnatural tuning ( M ) M Λ g If Λ=M PL, need adjustment to the 38 th decimal place!!! = Violation of naturalness = hierachy problem Low-energy supersymmetry is a way out... Λ Beware what seems unnatural today... Not the only way out extra dimensions! Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March 5
51 Supersymmetry } Maximal extension of the Poincaré group SUSY actions are invariant under superpoincaré Lorentz pure 3D rotations boosts Poincare superpoincare 4D translations SUSY translations they are composed of an equal number of bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom SUSY mixes fermions and bosons exact SUSY there should exist fermions and bosons of the same mass clearly NOT the case SUSY IS BROKEN WY BOTER WIT SUSY?? A solution to the hierarchy problem If the iggs is to be light without unnatural fine tuning, then (softly broken) SUSY particles should have M SUSY < TeV. SUSY can be viable up to M PL AND be natural! GUT acceptable coupling constant evolution The precision data at the Z mass (LEP and SLC) are inconsistent with GUT s using SM evolution, but are consistent with GUT s using SUSY evolution, if M SUSY TeV A natural way to break EW symmetry The large top Yukawa coupling can naturally drive the iggs quadratic coupling negative in SUSY Lightest SUSY particle is a cold dark matter candidate Local SUSY is SUperGRAvity Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March 5

53 LC MSSM iggs Search Full parameter space covered, SM and MSSM can be distinguished for almost all cases Most part of the parameter space covered by at least two channels, except low m A region (covered by LEP) if h was seen at LEP: A/ should be observable at LC for m A < m top If A or h was seen at LEP: the charged iggs should be seen at LC Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March 53
54 Fundamental Mass Values Experimental values or limits The SM does not say anything about the origin of the VALUES of the masses They have to be obtained from EXPERIMENT exception: photons and gluons are predicted to be massless Why such a large range of fundamental masses? mγ < 5 GeV Indirect searches yield very small neutrino masses why are neutral fermions so light? Michel Lefebvre University of Victoria, 8 March 54
55 Conclusions The SM iggs sector still requires direct experimental verification Origin of electroweak symmetry hiding Origin of mass LEP results tantalizing M = GeV if signal hypothesis valid.9 σ M > 3.5 CL Must now wait for the Tevatron and the LC If M 5 GeV both Tevatron and LC may discover it in 7 If M larger then LC rules New physics at O( TeV) very likely, supersymmetry is a big favorite This is going to be a very exciting decade!
