Anticipating New Physics @ the LHC
• Why the Terascale?
• Scenarios for Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and
the Gauge Hierarchy
– LHC Signatures
– Connection to Dark Matter
• Summary: Discoveries are only months away!
APS April Meeting, 2007
J. Hewett, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
Why the Terascale?
• Electroweak Symmetry breaks at
energies ~ 1 TeV
(Higgs or ???)
• Gauge Hierarchy: Nature is fine-tuned or
Higgs mass must be stabilized by
New Physics ~ 1 TeV
• Dark Matter: Weakly Interacting Massive
Particle must have mass ~ 1 TeV to
reproduce observed DM density
The LHC is turning on!
The anticipation
has fueled many
ideas!

The Standard Model of Particle Physics
Building Blocks of Matter:
Symmetry:
SU(3)C x SU(2)L x U(1)Y
QCD
Electroweak
Spontaneously Broken
to QED
This structure is
experimentally confirmed!
The Standard Model Higgs Boson
Economy: 1 scalar doublet
Higgs Potential:
V() = 22/2 + 4/4
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
Chooses a vacuum v = 0||0
and shifts the field  =  - v
V() = m22/2 + v3 + 4/4
gives 1 physical Higgs scalar with m = 2 v
Masses of electroweak gauge bosons proportional to v
We need to discover the Higgs and experimentally
test this potential and the Higgs properties!

Unitarity bound (Optical theorem!)  |Re a0| < ½

Supersymmetry:
•Symmetry between fermions and bosons
•Predicts that every particle has a superpartner of
equal mass (  SUSY is broken: many competing models!)
•Suppresses quantum effects
•Can make quantum mechanics consistent with
gravity (with other ingredients)
Supersymmetry at the LHC
SUSY discovery generally
‘easy’ at LHC
Cut: ETmiss > 300 GeV
LHC Supersymmetry Discovery Reach
Model where gravity
mediates SUSY breaking
– 5 free parameters at
high energies
Squark and Gluino
mass reach is
2.5-3.0 TeV @ 300 fb-1
MSSM only viable for mh < 135 GeV
Carena, Haber hep-ph/0208209
MSSM: tension with fine-tuning
Competing factors:
– Mass of lightest higgs
mh < MZ at tree-level
large quantum corrections from top sector
< (130 GeV)2
If stop mass ~ 1 TeV
– Stability of Higgs mass
stops cut-off top contribution to quadratic divergence
 stops can’t be too heavy
– Z mass relationship
Resolve Fine-Tuning: Extend the MSSM
• NMSSM (Next-to Minimal SSM)
Dermisek, Gunion, …
– Add a Higgs Singlet
- Evade LEP bounds – minimize fine-tuning!
- Regions where Higgs discovery is difficult @ LHC
• MNMSSM (Minimally Non-minimal MSSM)
– Lightest higgs < 145 GeV
– Observable @ LHC
• Gauge Extensions of MSSM
– Mh < 250 (350) GeV
• Split Supersymmetry
Panagiotakopoulos, Pilaftis
Batra, Delgado, Kaplan, Tait
Dark Matter in Supersymmetry
•A component of Dark Matter could be the Lightest
Neutralino of Supersymmetry
- stable and neutral with mass ~ 0.1 – 1 TeV

Little Higgs: The Basics
• The Higgs becomes a component of a larger
multiplet of scalars, 
•  transforms non-linearly under a new global
symmetry
• New global symmetry undergoes SSB
 leaves Higgs as goldstone
• Part of global symmetry is gauged
 Higgs is pseudo-goldstone
• Careful gauging removes Higgs 1-loop divergences

This is a Special Time in Particle Physics
• Urgent Questions
Provocative discoveries lead to urgent questions
• Connections
Questions seem to be related in fundamental, yet
mysterious, ways
• Tools
We have the experimental tools, technologies, and
strategies to tackle these questions
We are witnessing a Scientific Revolution
in the Making!
