Outline 1 Introduction & motivation 2 ector boson scattering at the LHC 3 Look at physics beyond the SM 4 Summary and outlook Anja est, TU Dresden 2

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

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

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

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

Summary and outlook Summary vector boson scattering processes provide a very important test of the electroweak theory and of the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking still need to check whether the 125 Ge Higgs unitarizes the BS process completely or if there are other residual effects at higher mass scales first LHC results from ± ± jj production: first evidence for a process dominated by vector boson scattering and containing a quartic electroweak gauge boson vertex Higgs boson glimpsed at work for first time (NewScientist, 17.7.2014) exclusion limits set on aqgc parameters Anja est, TU Dresden 32

Outlook Summary and outlook need to explore vector boson scattering at higher energies, complementary to studying Higgs boson properties LHC @ 13/14 Te: BS in the 500 Ge 2 Te range allows to test the unitarization of the scattering amplitude and to probe the SM nature of ESB extract longitudinal polarization state L look also at ± jj, Zjj, ZZjj and /Zγjj final states,... cross sections at 8 and 13 Te (in BS phase space optimized for 8 Te): final state sensitive to σ E [fb] σ strong [fb] background 8 Te 13 Te 8 Te 13 Te l ± l ± νν jj ± ± 1.13 3.97 0.1 0.346 ± Z, inst. l + l νν jj ±, ZZ 3.64 12.3 5.51 21.8 t t and Z+jets l + l l ± ν jj ± Z 0.571 2.34 1.12 4.38 4l production l + l l + l jj ZZ 0.027 0.098 0.024 0.0 inst. numbers by Ch.
