High-Energy Physics
God-given units:
~=c=1
∆p · ∆x ∼ 1
⇒
∆E · ∆t ∼ 1
high-energy accelerators are giant microscopes
resolving tiniest distances
create conditions similar to those very shortly
after the birth of the Universe
100 GeV ↔ 10−15 m
1019 GeV ↔ 10−32 m
(where 1 GeV = 109 eV ≈ mass of proton)

The Puzzle of Flavor
Most of Standard Model parameters are related to the
masses and mixings of fermions (Yukawa couplings)
quark and lepton masses:
mu ≈ 0.004 GeV
md ≈ 0.007 GeV
me ≈ 0.0005 GeV
m νe = ?
mc ≈ 1.3 GeV
ms ≈ 0.2 GeV
mµ ≈ 0.1 GeV
m νµ = ?
mt ≈ 170 GeV
mb ≈ 4.2 GeV
mτ ≈ 1.8 GeV
m ντ = ?
for neutrinos: ∆m2atm ∼ 3 · 10−21 GeV2 , ∆m2sol ∼ 3 · 10−23 GeV2
why so different ?
why families, hierarchical patterns ?
Flavor Delicacies – p.9/45
Why Do Light Particles Exist ?
A fundamental theory of elementary particle physics
should describe all phenomena until some high energy
scale Λ (“cutoff”) larger than all experimentally
accessible energies
But:
Relativity + Quantum Mechanics ⇒ Quantum Field Theory
In QFT, particles can aquire mass through interactions
with “nothing” (vacuum):
mass = bare mass + const·Λ
Flavor Delicacies – p.10/45
since this is a generic feature of QFT, it seems
that no light elementary particles should exist !?!?
. . . unless
Flavor Delicacies – p.11/45
since this is a generic feature of QFT, it seems
that no light elementary particles should exist !?!?
. . . unless there is a symmetry that forbids such
quantum-generated masses

Theorists Love Symmetries
(and the world needs them)
Flavor Delicacies – p.11/45
Gauge Symmetries
Photon (carrier of light) is massless as a consequence
of the gauge invariance of Maxwell’s theory of
electromagnetism
gauge transformation:
ψe (x) → eiχ(x) ψe (x) , Aµ (x) → Aµ (x) − ∂µ χ(x)
mass term mγ Aµ (x)Aµ (x) not invariant
⇒
mγ = 0
long-range forces
likewise: mgluon = 0 (strong interactions)
Flavor Delicacies – p.12/45
Chiral Symmetries
Physics knows the difference between left and right
gauge group: SUC (3) ⊗ SUL (2) ⊗ UY (1)
weak force (the SUL (2)) acts only on fermions
(spin- 12 particles) with left-handed chirality
mass term mf (f¯L fR + f¯R fL ) not gauge invariant
⇒
mf = 0
massless fermions
So now we know that all particles are massless...
Flavor Delicacies – p.13/45
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
“Mass protection mechanism” only works as long as
symmetries are unbroken
Spontaneous symmetry breaking:
E<v
SUL (2) ⊗ UY (1) → Uem (1)
Higgs mechanism
broken below energy scale v ∼ 100 GeV

⇒ top quark (mt ' 170 GeV) is only fermion
with a mass of the expected order of magnitude!
Flavor Delicacies – p.14/45
Hierarchy Problem
Standard mechanism of electroweak symmetry
breaking requires existence of a scalar particle (Higgs
boson) with mass mH ∼ 100 GeV, but a scalar mass is
not protected by gauge or chiral symmetries
expect mH ∼ Λ ∼ 1016 GeV, unless we are
willing to fine-tune the “bare” Higgs mass against
the mass aquired through quantum effects
(mass = bare mass + const·Λ)
Problem of EWSB: Why is mH Λ ?
Flavor Delicacies – p.15/45
The Higgs Story

symmetry breaking

Our Biggest Problem
Although we firmly believe that New Physics is just
around the corner, we see no trace of it in the data

CP Violation
One of the most intriguing aspects of physics, which
links particle physics with cosmology
Microcosmos:
fundamental difference between the interactions
of matter and anti-matter
microscopic violation of time-reversal invariance
(CPT theorem)
Macrocosmos:
baryon asymmetry in the Universe ⇒ our
existence!
Flavor Delicacies – p.27/45
What is CP Violation ?
Most interactions in Nature are invariant under parity
...
but the weak force differentiates left from right!
Flavor Delicacies – p.28/45
only left-handed fermions and right-handed
anti-fermions take part in the weak interactions
a CP transformation replaces left ↔ right and
matter ↔ anti-matter
Flavor Delicacies – p.29/45
only left-handed fermions and right-handed
anti-fermions take part in the weak interactions
a CP transformation replaces left ↔ right and
matter ↔ anti-matter
If CP were conserved, there would be no way of
explaining to an alien the difference between

Short History of CP violation
1964: CP violation in K ↔ K̄ mixing
(tiny effect: ≈ 1.6 · 10−3 )
1999: CP violation in K → ππ decay
(tiny effect: 0 / ≈ 1.7 · 10−3 )
2001: CP violation in B, B̄ → J/ψ KS decay
(large effect: sin 2β = 0.79 ± 0.10)
Pattern of CP violation in mixing and weak decay of
kaons, charm and B mesons is correctly predicted by
the SM and relects the hierarchy of the CKM matrix!

K from CP violation in K–K̄ mixing:
due to CP violation, the √
long-lived strange meson
|KL i ≈ (|K 0 i − |K̄ 0 i)/ 2 is not exactly a CP
eigenstate and so can decay into two pions
K is sensitive to Im[(Vtd∗ Vts )2 ]

Determination of sin 2β
In B decays into a CP eigenstate fCP , observable CP
asymmetries can arise from the interference of the
amplitudes for B–B̄ mixing and decay:

Resulting time-dependent CP asymmetry:
Γ(B̄ 0 (t) → fCP ) − Γ(B 0 (t) → fCP )
ACP (t) =
Γ(B̄ 0 (t) → fCP ) + Γ(B 0 (t) → fCP )

If the decay amplitude itself is real, a theoretically
“clean” measurement of sin 2β can be performed:

This has established the existence of a CP-violating
phase in the top sector (Im(Vtd ) 6= 0)
Results at 95% confidence level:
ρ̄ = 0.21 ± 0.12
sin 2β = 0.74 ± 0.15
η̄ = 0.38 ± 0.11
sin 2α = −0.14 ± 0.57
γ = 61◦ ± 16◦
after obtaining a consistent picture of CP
violation in the top sector, the next step must be
to explore the complex phase γ = arg(Vub∗ ) in the
bottom sector

The Challenge
QCD, the marvellous theory of the strong interactions, has a split
personality. It explains both “hard” and “soft” phenomena, the
softer ones being the hardest.
(Y. Dokshitzer)
high energies (short distances) ⇔ weak coupling (asymptotic freedom)
low energies (long distances) ⇔ strong coupling (confinement)
