From the Tevatron to the LHCCosener’s House, April 24-25, 2004
Morning PrayerJohn Ellis
Open Questions beyond the Standard Model
• What is the origin of particle masses?due to a Higgs boson? + other physics?solution at energy < 1 TeV (1000 GeV)
• Why so many types of matter particles?matter-antimatter difference?
• Unification of the fundamental forces?at very high energy ~ 1016 GeV?probe directly via neutrino physics, indirectly via masses, couplings
• Quantum theory of gravity?extra space-time dimensions?
All these issues tackledby the LHC (Tevatron)
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
The Electroweak Vacuum
• Generating particle masses requires breaking gauge symmetry:
mW,Z =/= 0 <0|XI|0> =/= 0
mW2 = mZ
2 cos2 θW => I = ½
• I = ½ also needed for fermion masses
• What is X? Elementary or Composite?
Elementary Higgs or Composite?
• Higgs field:
<0|H|0> =/= 0• Problems with loops
• Fermion-antifermion condensate
• Just like QCD, BCS superconductivity
• Top-antitop condensate? needed mt > 200 GeV
• New technicolour force? inconsistent with precision electroweak data?• Cut-off Λ ~ 1 TeV with
Supersymmetry?
Cutoff Λ = 10 TeV
Searches for the Higgs Boson
Indirect:• Precision electroweak
measurements at LEP, SLC, etc
• Predicted successfully mt = 160 – 180 GeV
• Sensitive to massof Higgs boson
mH < 200 GeV ?
• Direct:• LEP Searches for
e+ e- -> Z + H• Hint seen in late 2000
now < 2 σ
Current Limit:
mH > 114.4 GeV
Waiting for the Higgs boson
Higgs probability distribution:

indirect information
mH > 114.4 GeV
How soon will the Higgs be found? …
Theorists getting Cold Feet
• Interpretation of EW data?consistency of measurements? Discard some?
• Higgs + higher-dimensional operators?corridors to higher Higgs masses?
• Little Higgs modelsextra `Top’, gauge bosons, `Higgses’
• Higgsless modelsstrong WW scattering, extra D?
Heretical Interpretation of EW Data
Do all the data tell the same story?e.g., AL vs AH
What attitude towards LEP, NuTeV?
What mostof us think
Higgs + Higher-Order Operators
Precision EW data suggest they are small: why?
But conspiraciesare possible: mH
could be large, even if believeEW data …?
Do not discard possibility of heavy Higgs
Corridor toheavy Higgs?
Little Higgs Models
• Embed SM in larger gauge group• Higgs as pseudo-Goldstone boson• Cancel top loop
with new heavy T quark
• New gauge bosons, Higgses• Higgs light, other new
physics heavy Not as complete as susy: more physics > 10 TeV
MT < 2 TeV (mh / 200 GeV)2
MW’ < 6 TeV (mh / 200 GeV)2
MH++ < 10 TeV
Generic LittleHiggs Spectrum
Loop cancellation mechanisms
Supersymmetry Little Higgs
Higgsless Models
• Four-dimensional versions:
Strong WW scattering @ TeV, incompatible with precision data?
• Break EW symmetry by boundary conditions in extra dimension:
delay strong WW scattering to ~ 10 TeV?
Kaluza-Klein modes: mKK > 300 GeV?
compatibility with precision data?
• Warped extra dimension + brane kinetic terms?
Lightest KK mode @ 300 GeV, strong WW @ 6-7 TeV

Why Supersymmetry (Susy)?
• Hierarchy problem: why is mW << mP ?
(mP ~ 1019 GeV is scale of gravity)• Alternatively, why is
GF = 1/ mW2 >> GN = 1/mP
2 ?• Or, why is
VCoulomb >> VNewton ? e2 >> G m2 = m2 / mP2
• Set by hand? What about loop corrections?
δmH,W2 = O(α/π) Λ2
• Cancel boson loops fermions• Need | mB
2 – mF2| < 1 TeV2
Other Reasons to like Susy
It enables the gauge couplings to unify
It stabilizes the Higgs potential for low masses

CP Violation in the MSSM?
• Assuming universality for the soft susy-breaking parameters
• Two possible sources:
Phase in trilinear term A: φA
Phase in gluino mass: φ3
• Loop effects on MSSM Higgs bosons
• CP-violating mixing: h, H A

How `Likely’ are Large Sparticle Masses?
Fine-tuning of EW scale Fine-tuning of relic density
Larger masses require more fine-tuning: but how much is too much?
If not supersymmetry, what ?
Extra Dimensions ?
- Suggested by Kaluza and Klein
to unify gravity and electromagnetism
- Required for consistency of string theory
- Could help unify strong, weak and
electromagnetic forces with gravity if >> lP
- Could be origin of supersymmetry breaking
- Enable reformulation of the
hierarchy problem

`Constrained Standard Model’
• Break supersymmetry by boundary conditions in extra dimension
• If top quark not localized, 1-parameter potential:
mH = 130 GeV, 1/R ~ 400 GeV
• Relaxed if top quark
partially
localizedLSP is stop
