1 Why SUSY? Beyond the SM: Probing the Connection Between Supersymmetry and Dark Matter Teruki Kamon KNU/TAMU This is what I said at Lecture 00. Course Description Since March 00, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is delivering proton-proton collisions with a center-ofmass energy of 7 TeV. Both CMS and ATLAS collaborations are reporting results at low p T physics and re-discoveries of various Standard Model (SM) particles (e.g., J/psi and Upsilon particles in 70s, W and Z bosons in 80s, top quark in 90 s). The rediscoveries help understanding the detector performance and preparing discovering new physics at a TeV scale, which is one of the high priority programs at the LHC. Especially, supersymmetry (SUSY) allows for the construction of models of particle physics building up to the grand unification (GUT) scale and linking to early universe. This course is designed as an introductory course for graduate students to cover a broad spectrum of particle physics at the LHC, including basic concepts of the collider complex and experimental apparatus as well as how to probe physics beyond the SM.

See recent results from SuperKamiokande, SNO, KamLAND, KK, MACRO, MiniBoon, TK, MINOS/NOVA, DayaBay, d. One of four experimental group at the LEP (e + e collider) at CERN claimed to have observed the signal of Higgs boson with M h = 5 GeV. The other groups however could not confirm it. The Tevatron at Fermilab might discover it in -4 years. LHC at CERN will discover Higgs boson. 7 8

(Strength of Force) Three gauge couplings do not meet at a single point. But we want to build a theory which goes to a higher scale. Grand Unified Theory

4 Standard Model : Dream of Unification Structural Defect in the SM Problem a. The Higgs mass becomes too large at scale of a few TeV (000 x M proton ). b. There should be some new theory at this energy scale and this theory would keep the Higgs mass under control. The contribution to the Higgs mass Boson loop B Fermion loop F 3 = Scale of new physics 4 Structural Defect in the SM Possible Solutions (= New Physics) a. Technicolor: Higgs is not a fundamental particle. Experimental data do not allow this theory any more. Supersymmetric SM The fundamental law(s) of nature is hypothesized to be symmetric between bosons and fermions. Fermion (S = ½ ) Boson (S = 0 or ) b. Extra dimension (ED) at (~)TeV scale. EDs appear at around TeV scale. c. Supersymetric SM Have they been observed? Not yet. 5 6

It is the lightest and stable particle in our model. In order to calculate CDM,weneedtoknow the density of the remaining neutralinos when they stopped annihilating each other, neutralino annihilation, i.e. m SUSY can be expressed in terms of our msugra parameters.

This diagram also contributes to the relic density along with the other neutralino annihilation diagrams. This is a generic feature of any SUSY model. Other regions (focus point, annihilation funnel): mostly beyond the LHC But, can be observed at a possible energy upgrade of the LHC. 40

It fulfills the dream of Grand Unification and explains the dark matter (DM) content. The minimal supergravity (msugra) model, based on the unification framework, is already constrained by many experiments. The DM content of the universe requires some specific features of the msugra parameter space e.g. coannihilation. The signal of the co-annihilation at the colliders will confirm the model. We think that the LHC will also be able to probe this signal. A linear collider will be able to probe this signal and accurately measure the mass. 56
