1 Naturalness and string phenomenology in the LHC era I. Antoniadis String Phenomenology 2014 ICTP, Trieste, 7-11 July 2014 LHC: where do we stand? where do we go? Low energy SUSY after the Higgs discovery Non-linear SUSY and MSSM Non-linear SUSY and Starobinsky inflation I. Antoniadis (CERN) 1 / 43

2 Connect string theory to the real world Is it a tool for strong coupling dynamics or a theory of fundamental forces? Can string theory describe both particle physics and cosmology? What can we hope to learn from LHC and cosmological observations on string phenomenology? I. Antoniadis (CERN) 2 / 43

Antoniadis (CERN) 32 / 43

33 Non-liner SUSY in supergravity I.A.-Dudas-Ferrara-Sagnotti 14 K = 3log(1 X X) 3X X ; W = f X + W 0 X X NL => V = 1 3 f 2 3 W 0 2 ; m 2 3/2 = W 0 2 V can have any sign contrary to global NL SUSY NL SUSY in flat space => f = 3m 3/2 M p Dual gravitational formulation: R 2 = 0 chiral curvature superfield Minimal SUSY extension of R 2 gravity I. Antoniadis (CERN) 33 / 43

34 Starobinsky model of inflation L = 1 2 R + αr2 equivalent to a scalar field with exponential potential: L = 1 2 R 1 2 ( φ)2 M2 12 Note that the two metrics are not the same supersymmetric extension: (1 e q 2 3 φ ) 2 M 2 = 3 4α add D-term R R because F-term R 2 does not contain R 2 => brings two chiral multiplets I. Antoniadis (CERN) 34 / 43

35 SUSY extension of Starobinsky model K = 3ln(T + T C C) ; W = MC(T 1 2 ) T contains the inflaton: ReT = e C R is unstable during inflation q 2 3 φ => add higher order terms to stabilize it e.g. C C h(c, C) = C C ζ(c C) 2 Kallosh-Linde 13 SUSY is broken during inflation with C the goldstino superfield Minimal SUSY extension that evades stability problem: replace C by the non-linear multiplet X I. Antoniadis (CERN) 35 / 43

[43] I. Antoniadis (CERN) 36 / 43

37 Alternative answer: Low UV cutoff Λ TeV - low scale gravity => extra dimensions: large flat or warped - low string scale => low scale gravity, ultra weak string coupling M s 1 TeV => volume R n = 1032 ls n (R mm for n = 2 6) - spectacular model independent predictions - radical change of high energy physics at the TeV scale Moreover no little hierarchy problem: radiative electroweak symmetry breaking with no logs [23] Λ a few TeV and m 2 H = a loop factor Λ2 New Dark Matter candidates e.g. in the extra dims But unification has to be probably dropped I. Antoniadis (CERN) 37 / 43

38 Accelerator signatures: 4 different scales Gravitational radiation in the bulk => missing energy present LHC bounds: M > 3 5 TeV Massive string vibrations => e.g. resonances in dijet distribution [40] M 2 j = M M2 s j ; maximal spin : j + 1 higher spin excitations of quarks and gluons with strong interactions present LHC limits: M s > 5 TeV Large TeV dimensions => KK resonances of SM gauge bosons I.A. 90 Mk 2 = M2 0 + k 2 /R 2 ; k = ±1, ±2,... experimental limits: R 1 > TeV (UED - localized fermions) extra U(1) s and anomaly induced terms masses suppressed by a loop factor from M s [41] I.
