However, too much arbitrariness and fine-tuning: O(27) parameters (+ 2 for Majorana ν) and electric charges Gauge Problem complicated gauge group with 3 couplings (only EW chiral) charge quantization ( q e = q p ) unexplained Possible solutions: strings; grand unification; magnetic monopoles (partial); anomaly constraints (partial) Fermion problem Fermion masses, mixings, families unexplained Neutrino masses, nature? Probe of Planck/GUT scale? CP violation inadequate to explain baryon asymmetry Possible solutions: strings; brane worlds; family symmetries; compositeness; radiative hierarchies. New sources of CP violation.
Higgs/hierarchy problem H H λ H H W g 2 H Expect M 2 H = O(M 2 W ) higher order corrections: δm 2 H /M 2 W 1034 H g W W g H H h f f h H Possible solutions: supersymmetry; dynamical symmetry breaking; large and/or warped extra dimensions; Little Higgs; anthropically motivated fine-tuning (split supersymmetry) (landscape) Strong CP problem Typeset by FoilTEX Can add θ 32π 2 g 2 s F F to QCD (breaks, P, T, CP) d N θ < 10 11, but δθ weak 10 3 Possible solutions: spontaneously broken global U(1) (Peccei- Quinn) axion; unbroken global U(1) (massless u quark); spontaneously broken CP + other symmetries
Graviton problem gravity not unified quantum gravity not renormalizable cosmological constant: Λ SSB = 8πG N V > 10 50 Λ obs (10 124 for GUTs, strings) Possible solutions: supergravity and Kaluza Klein unify strings yield finite gravity Λ cosm = Λ bare + Λ SSB. Anthropically motivated fine-tuning (landscape)?
Necessary new ingredients Mechanism for small neutrino masses Planck/GUT scale? Small Dirac (intermediate scale)? Mechanism for baryon asymmetry? Electroweak transition (Z or extended Higgs?) Heavy Majorana neutrino decay (seesaw)? Decay of coherent field? CPT violation? What is the dark energy? Cosmological Constant? Quintessence? Related to inflation? Time variation of couplings?
What is the dark matter? Lightest supersymmetric particle? Axion? Suppression of flavor changing neutral currents? Electric dipole moments? Proton decay? Automatic in standard model, but not in extensions
