3 Introduction & motivation The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) the SM is based on 3 fundamental symmetries being origin of interactions between matter particles & mediators of the interactions SU(3) C SU(2) L U(1) Y the Lagrangian density L must be invariant under these symmetries, fundamental principle: local gauge invariance conservation laws main ingredients of the SM: forces: electromagnetism (γ) weak interaction ( ±, Z) strong interaction (g) matter: 6 quarks and 6 leptons in 3 generations ESB: spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking via Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism Anja est, TU Dresden 3

4 Standard Model processes Introduction & motivation γ/z ll, lν most frequent and very good understood precisely measured at LEP H, ZZ, γγ and H ττ recently observed at LHC Higgs self couplings not yet seen : limited experimental data accessible in vector boson scattering (BS) ( =, Z, γ) LHC becomes sensitive to BS Anja est, TU Dresden 4

5 Introduction & motivation The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) E theory predicts triple and quartic gauge boson self-interactions γ Z,, Z, γ, Z, γ no neutral gauge boson self-couplings in the SM quartic gauge self-couplings (QGC) contained in: L = g2 4 { [2 + µ µ + (A µ sin θ Z µ cos θ ) 2 ] 2 [ + µ ν + + ν µ + (Aµ sin θ Z µ cos θ )(A ν sin θ Z ν cos θ )] 2} two measurable classes of processes where a QGC vertex contributes: triple gauge boson production, vector boson scattering as jj or exclusive (pp) final states no reaction is ever mediated by a QGC vertex alone (even a gauge-invariant definition of the QGC contribution is not possible!) Anja est, TU Dresden 5

6 Introduction & motivation ector boson scattering and the role of the Higgs boson the heavy vector bosons ± and Z acquire their mass and longitudinal polarization state through spontaneous ESB γ/z the mechanism responsible for ESB must regulate σ( L L L L ) to restore unitarity (= probability conservation) above 1 2 Te cross section attenuated to a linear growth by the quartic gauge boson self-coupling a light SM Higgs boson exactly cancels increase for large s (for H coupling) [ ] A( L L L L ) g2 v 2 s t + + γ/z + + H 0 s2 + t2 s m 2 H t m 2 H + H 0 Anja est, TU Dresden 6
