WMAP: towards a high-precision Cosmologystudying the cosmic radiation background (CRB)

At first sight CRB is isotropic

Looking to details:T=2.73 K

The Cosmologic Principle states that Universe is isotropic and homogenous at large scaleThis was confirmed by the first CRB observations (Penzias e Wilson 1965)

Recent results from WMAP

CRB pattern snapshot of the Universe at the decoupling time

1. Gravity fluctuations acts on baryon-photon gas oscillation (compression – rarefaction) due to

gravity and pressure of the plasma

Where the CRB pattern come from ?

2. At the decoupling time the photons are released (the Universe become trasparent)

DAMA new

The precision CMB studies opens a new era for CosmologyWe are close to a Standard Cosmology able to fit a large

number of observationsActivity is going on:- polarization study on WMAP data still going on possible discrimination between different inflation

models - new satellite (Planck) will be launched in 2007 SUSY, offering a natural DM candidate, contributed to strengthen the link between high-energy physics and Cosmology.The detection of WIMP/LSP in underground detector is an extremely difficult task at the limit of the present technology. The techniques are anyway going better and better.Can we discover first sparticle before LHC ?DAMA already claimed to have it, but it is not a direct evidence and an independent check, also considering the difficult of the measurement, is certainly required.

NuTeV (IV) Strange Asymmetry

- relies on inconsistent parameterization (total strangeness S 0)- does not fit s- in the context of global fit

Recall: positive s- reduces the NuTeV anomaly • NuTeV: Dimuons (charm production)s-=-0.0027±0.0013 (low x) BUT NuTeV fit to s-

• New CTEQ fit- includes all available data- accounts for strangeness conservation (S=0)- fits s,sbar together with other pdfs

Negative s- strongly disfavoured, acceptable fits have 0.001< s- <0.0031

Final remarks:Few issues still open: large sea uncertainties and shift from s- could reduce discrepancy below 2σ Given present understanding of hadron structure, RPW is no good place for high precision physics

New AFB(b) preliminaries from OPAL and DELPHI

2 possibilities, both involving new physics:

- AFB(b) points to new physics- it’s a fluctuation or due to unknown

syst.

In case, it is possible to find NP that mimics a light Higgs. For example SUSY can do that with light sleptons, tanβ>4 Altarelli et al

CVC + isospin symmetry Corrections by Cirigliano et al 02

Possible violation of CVC or isospin symmetry? - KLOE is soon expected to improve

the precision- BaBar is finalising similar analysis- Maybe new inputs will come from BELLE

Further understanding needed

SM works fineDespite the severe tests performed in the attempt to discover some sign of new physicsno really convincing BSM signal so far

There are few points to clarify that will be further investigated in the next future

One of the next future priority is certainly improving the top mass precision. A routine job for TEVATRON II but fundamental to better understand the few obscurities of the SM and eventually to discover the first convincing signs of new physics.

physics is certainly the sector with the most impressive developments in the last few years.-In this sector we discovered the only BSM physics so far, even if a natural extension of the SM can accommodate masses and mixing.- the old solar problem, which tormented us since 60’, has been finally understoodIn the next few years accelerator and reactor experiments will give insight on the still unmeasured mixing angle and, hopefully, the first “appearance” signal will give us the direct evidence that do oscillate.
