Physics beyond the Standard Model:Higgs and Supersymmetry –
Why, what, where and how?
Nanyang Technological UniversitySingapore, January 2012
John Ellis, King’s College London & CERN
Plan of the Lectures
• The Standard Model and issues beyond it
• Origin of particle masses: Higgs boson or?
• Supersymmetry
• Searches for supersymmetry: LHC & dark matter
Summary of the Standard Model
• Particles and SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) quantum numbers:
• Lagrangian: gauge interactions
matter fermions
Yukawa interactions
Higgs potential
Gauge Interactions of the Standard Model
• Three separate gauge group factors:– SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1)
– Strong × electroweak
• Three different gauge couplings:– g3, g2, g ́
• Mixing between the SU(2) and U(1) factors:
• Experimental value: sin2θW = 0.23120 ± 0.00015
Clue for Grand Unification and supersymmetry
Weak Interactions
• Interactions of lepton doublets:
• Charged-current interactions:
• Neutral-current interactions:
• Mixing between quark flavours:
Status of the Standard Model
• Perfect agreement with all confirmed accelerator data
• Consistency with precision electroweak data (LEP et al) only if there is a Higgs boson
• Agreement seems to require a relatively light Higgs boson weighing < ~ 180 GeV
• Raises many unanswered questions:
mass? flavour? unification?
Precision Tests of the Standard Model
Lepton couplings Pulls in global fit
Parameters of the Standard Model
• Gauge sector:– 3 gauge couplings: g3, g2, g ́– 1 strong CP-violating phase
• Yukawa interactions:– 3 charge-lepton masses– 6 quark masses– 4 CKM angles and phase
• Higgs sector:– 2 parameters: μ, λ
• Total: 19 parameters
Unification?
Flavour?
Mass?
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?(super)string theory: extra space-time dimensions?

Where do the masses come from?
Newton:Weight proportional to Mass
Einstein:Energy related to Mass
Neither explained origin of Mass
Are masses due to Higgs boson? (the physicists’ Holy Grail)
Think of a Snowfield
Skier moves fast:
Like particle without mass
e.g., photon = particle of light
Snowshoer sinks into snow,
moves slower:
Like particle with mass
e.g., electron
Hiker sinks deep,
moves very slowly:
Particle with large mass
The LHC looks for
the snowflake:
the Higgs Boson
The Higgs Boson and Cosmology
• Changed the state of the Universe when it was about 10-12 seconds old
• May have generated then the matter in the Universe
• Contributes (too much) to today’s dark energy
• A related inflaton might have expanded the Universe when it was about 10-35 seconds old
The Higgs Mechanism
• Postulated effective Higgs potential:
• Minimum energy at non-zero value:
• Non-zero masses:
• Components of Higgs field:
• π massless, σ massive:
Masses for Gauge Bosons
• Kinetic terms for SU(2) and U(1) gauge bosons:
where
• Kinetic term for Higgs field:
• Expanding around vacuum:
• Boson masses:

The Higgs Boson
• Higgs pointed out a massive scalar boson
• “… an essential feature of [this] type of theory … is the prediction of incomplete multiplets of vector and scalar bosons”
• Englert, Brout, Guralnik, Hagen & Kibble did not comment on its existence
• Discussed in detail by Higgs in 1966 paper

Spontaneous breaking of symmetry
A Phenomenological Profile of the Higgs Boson
• Neutral currents (1973)
• Charm (1974)
• Heavy lepton τ (1975)
• Attention to search for W±, Z0
• For us, the Big Issue: is there a Higgs boson?
• Previously ~ 10 papers on Higgs bosons
• MH > 18 MeV
• First attempt at systematic survey
• Higgs decay modes and searches in 1975:
A Phenomenological Profile of the Higgs Boson
• Couplings proportional to mass:– Decays into heavier particles favoured
• But: important couplings through loops:– gluon + gluon → Higgs → γγ
Higgs Decay Branching Ratios
Constraints on Higgs Mass
• Electroweak observables sensitive via quantum loop corrections:
• Sensitivity to top, Higgs masses:
• Preferred Higgs mass: mH ~ 80 ± 30 GeV• Compare with lower limit from direct searches:
mH > 114 GeV
• No conflict!
The State of the Higgs in Mid-2011
• High-energy search:– Limit from LEP:
mH > 114.4 GeV
• High-precision electroweak data:– Sensitive to Higgs mass:
mH = 96+30–24 GeV
• Combined upper limit:
mH < 161 GeV, or 190 GeV including direct limit

Assuming the Standard Model
The Spin of the Higgs Boson @ LHC
Higher mass: angular correlations in H → ZZ decays
Low mass: if H →γγ,It cannot have spin 1
Do we already know the ‘Higgs’ has Spin Zero ?
• Decays into γγ, so cannot have spin 1
• 0 or 2?
• If it decays into ττ or b-bar: spin 0 or 1 or orbital angular momentum
• Can diagnose spin via angular correlations of leptons in WW, ZZ decays
For Mh = 120 GeV

• Fermion-antifermion condensate
• Just like QCD, BCS superconductivity
• Top-antitop condensate? needed mt > 200 GeV
• New technicolour force? heavy scalar resonance?• inconsistent with precision electroweak data?

What if the Higgs is not quite a Higgs?
• Tree-level Higgs couplings ~ masses– Coefficient ~ 1/v
• Couplings ~ dilaton of scale invariance• Broken by Higgs mass term –μ2, anomalies
– Cannot remove μ2 (Coleman-Weinberg)– Anomalies give couplings to γγ, gg
• Generalize to pseudo-dilaton of new (nearly) conformal strongly-interacting sector
• Couplings ~ m/V (V > v?), additions to anomalies
A Phenomenological Profile of a Pseudo-Dilaton
• New strongly-interacting sector at scale ~ V• Pseudo-dilaton only particle with mass << V• Universal suppression of couplings to Standard
Model particles ~ v/V• Γ(gg) may be enhanced• Γ(γγ) may be suppressed• Modified self-couplings• Pseudo-baryons

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 @ few 00 GeV, strong WW @ 6-7 TeV
Theorists getting Cold Feet
• Composite Higgs model?conflicts with precision electroweak data
• Interpretation of EW data?consistency of measurements? Discard some?
• Higgs + higher-dimensional operators?corridors to higher Higgs masses?
• Little Higgs models?extra `Top’, gauge bosons, `Higgses’
• Higgsless models?strong WW scattering, extra D?
Particle Spectrum in Simplest Model with Extra Dimensions
Lowest-lying states have flat wave functions (n = 0)
Excitations (Kaluza-Klein) have nodes (n > 0):
Mass ~ n/R (R = radius of circle)
‘Fold’ Circle: Orbifold
• Identify two halves of circle: up to a minus sign
• ‘Even’ particles include massless: odd ones all massive• A way to give masses to particles that are asymmetric
Mechanism to break Gauge Symmetry
• Identify two halves up to a group transformation U
• Unbroken part of gauge group commutes with U• Masses for asymmetric particles:
– e.g., SU(2) × U(1) U(1)

Theoretical Constraints on Higgs Mass
• Large Mh → large self-coupling → blow up at low-energy scale Λ due to renormalization
• Small: renormalization due to t quark drives quartic coupling < 0at some scale Λ→ vacuum unstable
• Vacuum could be stabilized by supersymmetry•Espinosa, JE, Giudice, Hoecker, Riotto, arXiv0906.0954
•LHC 95%

Examples with LHC measurement of mH = 120 or 115 GeV
How to Stabilize a Light Higgs Boson?
• Top quark destabilizes potential: introduce introduce stop-like scalar:
• Can delay collapse of potential:• But new coupling must be
fine-tuned to avoid blow-up:• Stabilize with new fermions:
– just like Higgsinos
• Very like Supersymmetry!
•Favoured values of Mh ~ 119 GeV:
•Range consistent with evidence from LHC !
•Higgs mass
•χ2 price to pay if Mh = 125 GeV is < 2
•Buchmueller, JE et al: arXiv:1112.3564
The Stakes in the Higgs Search
• How is gauge symmetry broken?• Is there any elementary scalar field?• Would have caused phase transition in the Universe when
it was about 10-12 seconds old• May have generated then the matter in the Universe:
electroweak baryogenesis• A related inflaton might have expanded the Universe
when it was about 10-35 seconds old • Contributes to today’s dark energy: 1060 too much!

• Measure mt to < 100 MeV
• If there is a light Higgs of any kind, pin it down:
Does it have standard model couplings?
What is its precise mass?
• If there are extra light particles: Measure mass and properties
• If LHC sees nothing new below ~ 500 GeV:
Look for indirect signatures
