25 Why is the Higgs boson so light? Standard Model is an effective theory expect it to break down at some high scale Λ (e.g. Planck mass GeV ) Calculating the one-loop corrections to the Higgs boson mass one finds mh 2 = mh, Λ2 ( 4m 2 8π 2 v 2 t 2mW 2 4mZ 2 mh 2 ) natural scale for Higgs boson mass given by Λ and not v (tree-level mh 2 = λv 2 ) Solutions: fine-tuning mh,0 2 cancels one-loop correction exactly Higgs boson is not a fundamental scalar (e.g. Technicolor) There is a symmetry that protects the Higgs boson from acquiring a large mass 25 / 1

26 Theory beyond the standard model 26 / 1

27 Supersymmetry - one possible solution Why is this not a problem for fermions? Protected by Chiral symmetry: the Lagrangian gets an additional symmetry if m f 0 higher order corrections have to be proportional to m f only log(λ) dependence no fine-tuning SUSY solution introduce Higgsino SUSY fermion partner to Higgs boson Higgsino mass m H is protected by the Chiral symmetry Imposing (exact) SUSY m H = m H is also stabilized SUSY complications Anomaly cancelation and analytic structure of SUSY Lagrangian the SM cannot be supersymmetrized as is have to add an additional Higgs doublet No supersymmetric partners observed Supersymmetry has to be softly broken plethora of parameters 27 / 1

41 Conclusions The discovery of a Higgs-like particle marks a new era in (particle) physics Completes the particle content of the standard model time to look beyond So far experimental data in agreement with standard model expectations still room for surprises Supersymmetric models give equal or better description of available data Precision measurements of all possible combinations of production and decay channels will test if standard model is correct at LHC energies Higgs physics has gone from discovery mode to precision measurements (also possible at hadron collider) LHC will continue running until February 2013 and then have a break until November 2014 to go to design energy Stay tuned 41 / 1
