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 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.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 Higgs desperately needed to achieve electroweak symmetry breaking much evidence for a relatively light Higgs from electroweak precision data (LEP+SLD): Preliminary 6 10 3 10 mH [GeV] (5) 0.02761±0.00036 0.02738±0.00020 4 mH [GeV] ∆αhad = 10 2 10 3 2 10 3 41.5 41.6 0 σhad [nb] mH [GeV] 0.015 0.02 A0,l FB 2 80.2 80.4 mW (LEP) [GeV] Measurement ∆αhad= 0.02761 ± 0.00036 (5) mH [GeV] 10 10 3 10 Preliminary 2 2 mH [GeV] 10 41.4 Excluded 10 2.5 ΓZ [GeV] mH [GeV] ∆χ2 2.49 2 0 3 theory uncertainty 10 αs= 0.118 ± 0.002 mt= 174.3 ± 5.1 GeV 2 20.7 20.8 0 Rl Flavor Delicacies – p.16/45 This reasoning has worked before . . .
