aims of accelerators
energy frontier– find new particles
– learn about basics of interactions» “unification” at higher energies: electroweak interactions, grand unification
– cosmology: what the universe looked like soon after the Big Bang
intensity frontier – high-precision experiments

The Higgs boson
For the Standard Model to be consistent, there has to exist one more particle: the Higgs boson. It has not been found yet. However, many other high-precision measurement have confirmed the Standard Model in an impressive way.

• the Standard Model works only with particles which are originally massless!• mass is created through interaction with a (hypothetical) Higgs field• due to spontaneous symmetry breaking this field is present everywhere in the universe• “oscillations” in the Higgs field manifest themselves as Higgs particles, which should be observed at LHC / CERN over the next few years

The Higgs boson
cannot be lighter than 114.4 GeV/c2
– excluded by direct searches (LEP, “Large Electron-Positron collider, CERN)
– some people thought they caught a glimpse of it at LEP (but then LEP was turned off)
should not be too heavy
– else problems arise with the physics it’s supposed to explain
maybe “just around the corner” ?
– not so good for LHC (“Large Hadron Collider”, CERN): hard to disentangle from background
– have to study lots of possible decay channels !
– Fermilab (“Tevatron” collider, Chicago) has been trying hard to find it

Supersymmetry (“SUSY”) another 2 open problems in
Standard Model: “running coupling
constants” of electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions meet almost but not completely at the same point
to avoid quadratic divergences in Higgs mass, “fine-tuning” is needed
both problems can be solved by introducing a symmetry between bosons and fermions

questions of cosmology to particle physics:Why is there more matter than anti-matter in the universe?
What is the universe made of? What is dark matter?What is dark energy?
answers to these questions concerning the largest scales might come from the physics of the smallest scales - elementary particle physics
dark matter: MACHOS vs WIMPS

experimental observation of SUSY particles ?
Looking for these new supersymmetric particles was/is one of the most important tasks of the major experiments at the Tevatron in Chicago, USA, at the LHC at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) and at the planned e+ e- linear collider.
SUSY particles may show very clear signatures due
to cascade decays

important questions of today’s particle physics(ongoing experiments)
• Where do particles get their mass from? (by interaction with the Higgs particle?)
• Why are these masses so different?
• Is there an overall (hidden) symmetry such as supersymmetry (SUSY) “mirror world” of all known particles?.
• What is the nature of “dark matter” and “dark energy” in the universe?
• Why is there more matter than anti-matter?
• Why have neutrinos such small mass?
• Is there a Grand Unification which combines all interactions, including gravitation?
• Are there extra dimensions, D > 4 ? ( string theory, …)

question (homework)
a text in a Cern exhibition states: “the force of the LHC beam is comparable to that of a herd of running elephants”
is this correct?
help: what could be meant by “force”?
– momentum?
– kinetic energy?
remember the energy and number of particles in LHC– 3.5 TeV, 1011 protons per bunch, ~3000 bunches
how heavy and fast is an elephant?– which kind? Indian / African / Siberian?
![Page 41: Manfred Jeitler The Physics of LHC Baikal Physics School 2011 1 LHC/LEP SPS CMS ATLAS ALICE LHCb THE PHYSICS OF LHC Manfred Jeitler](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cfb5503460f949cd07d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Manfred Jeitler The Physics of LHC Baikal Physics School 2011 41
another question (more homework)
another text says: “the energy of a particle in LHC is the same as that of a flying mosquito”
is this correct? is there a contradiction to the statement about elephants?
help: how heavy and fast is a mosquito?
– Siberian mosquito compared to Indian elephant
![Page 42: Manfred Jeitler The Physics of LHC Baikal Physics School 2011 1 LHC/LEP SPS CMS ATLAS ALICE LHCb THE PHYSICS OF LHC Manfred Jeitler](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cfb5503460f949cd07d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Manfred Jeitler The Physics of LHC Baikal Physics School 2011 42
yet another question (still more homework)
the frequency of the LHC clock at “flat top” (3.5 TeV) is roughly 40 MHz
does the clock frequency at injection (450 GeV) have to be different?– why?
if yes, what is the change of clock frequency during the “ramp” ?– acceleration period, when particle energy and magnetic field rise
could this be a problem?
