Why a Linear Collider Now?

S. Dawson, BNL October, 2002

Asian, European, and American communities all agree

High Energy Linear Collider is next large accelerator

WHY???

Where are we going?

• US high energy community just completed long range planning process

• 20 year roadmap for the future• HEPAP subpanel:

We recommend that the highest priority of the U.S. program be a high-energy, high-luminosity, electron-positron linear collider, wherever it is built in the world

Linear Collider Basics • Initial design, e+e- at s=500 GeV• Luminosity 1034 cm2/sec 300 fb-1/yr• 80% e- polarization• Energy upgrade to .8-1.2 TeV in future• Physics in 2012

• The international accelerator community believes that a TeV-scale linear collider can be successfully built

?????• What are the big questions we want to

answer?• Why do we think we can predict where

we want to go?– What do we know now?– What do we expect to learn from the

Tevatron and LHC?– What questions will remain unanswered?

What is particle physics?

Study of Space, Time, MatterBagger/Barish report

The Big Questions?

• What is the origin of mass?

• Do protons decay?• Do forces unify at a

large scale?• Are there more than

four dimensions?• Why are there 4

forces?No unification of couplings in SM

Cosmic Connections

• What is dark matter?• How are particle

physics & cosmology connected?

• What is dark energy?• Where did the anti-

matter go?

Planning for the Future Based on Success of last 20 years….

• Model of electroweak physics verified at .1% level

• The problem of mass remains• W and Z bosons discovered at CERN

in 1983

• Masses not zero….or even small

W

Why is Mass a Problem?• Lagrangian for gauge field (spin 1):

L=-¼ FF

F=A-A

• L is invariant under transformation: A (x) A(x)-(x)• Gauge invariance is guiding principle• Mass term for gauge boson

½ m2 AA

• Violates gauge invariance• So we understand why photon is massless

Simplest possibility for Origin of Mass is Higgs Boson

• Higgs mechanism gives gauge invariant masses for W, Z

• Requires physical, scalar particle, H, with unknown mass

• Observables predicted in terms of:– MZ=91.1875.0021 GeV

– GF=1.16639(1) x 10-5 GeV-2

=1/137.0359895(61)– Mh

• Higgs and top quark enter into quantum corrections, Mt

2, log(Mh)

Precision Measurements sensitive to top quark before it was discovered!

Large number of measurements fit

electroweak predictions

Indirect Indications for Light Higgs Mass

• Direct measurements of MW, Mt agree well with indirect measurements

• Prefer Higgs in 100-200 GeV range

• ASSUMES no new physics

Where is the Higgs boson?• Higgs couplings of fixed

• Production rates at LEP, Tevatron, LHC fixed in terms of mass

• Direct search limit from LEP:

• Higgs contributions to precision measurements calculable

• pp interactions ats =14 TeV

• LHC will discover Higgs boson if it exists

• Sensitive to Mh from 100-1000 GeV

• Higgs signal in just a few channels

• Physics circa 2008

ATLAS TDR

Discovery isn’t enough….

• Is this a Higgs or something else?• Linear Collider can answer critical

questions– Does the Higgs generate mass for the W,Z

bosons?– Does the Higgs generate mass for fermions?– Does the Higgs generate its own mass?

Is it a Higgs?• How do we know what we’ve

found? • Measure couplings to

fermions & gauge bosons

• Measure spin/parity

• Measure self interactions

Precision Measurements of Higgs Couplings

• Dots are experimental error

• 1-2% measurement• Measure ALL Higgs

couplings• Bands are theory error

– Larger than experiment– Largest error from mb

Battaglia & Desch, hep-ph/0101165

Higgs measurements test model!

• Couplings to fermions very different in SUSY models

• LC can distinguish SM from SUSY up to MA=600 GeV

Standard Model

• Angular correlations of decay products distinguish scalar/pseudoscalar

Lafaye, hep-ph/0002238

Problem with this picture…• Fundamental Higgs is not natural• Quantum corrections to Mh are quadratically

divergentMh

• So enormous fine-tuning needed to keep Higgs lightMh

2\Mh2MW

2\Mpl210-32

Solution is Supersymmetry

• Quadratic contributions to Higgs mass cancel between scalars and fermions

• To make cancellation hold to all orders need symmetry

• Bose-Fermi symmetry….supersymmetry

Do the forces unify?

• Coupling constants change with energy

• Coupling constants unify in supersymmetric models

Hint for new physics?

New particles in SUSY Theory

• Spin ½ quarks spin 0 squarks• Spin ½ leptons spin 0 sleptons• Spin 1 gauge bosons spin ½ gauginos• Spin 0 Higgs spin ½ Higgsino Experimentalists dream….many particles to search for! What mass scale?Supersymmetry is broken….no scalar with mass of

electron

Supersymmetry

• Can we find it?• Can we tell what it is?• Masses of new particles depend on

mechanism for breaking Supersymmetry• Couplings of new particles predicted in

terms of few parameters• Simplest version has 105 new parameters

Simplifying Assumption:

• Assume masses unify at same scale as couplings

• Everything specified in terms of scalar/fermion masses at high scale and 3 parameters

• Predictive anzatz…..

•LHC/Tevatron will find SUSY• Discovery of many SUSY

particles is straightforward• Untangling spectrum is

difficult all particles

produced together• SUSY mass differences from

cascade decays;eg

• M0 limits extraction of other masses

Battaglia, hep-ph/0201177

How do we know it’s SUSY?• Need to measure masses,

couplings• Observe SUSY partners,

eg

• Polarization can help separate states

What is the universe made of?

• Stars and galaxies are only 0.1%• Neutrinos are ~0.1–10%• Electrons and protons are ~5%• Dark Matter ~25%• Dark Energy ~70%

H. Murayama

Supersymmetry provides understanding of dark matter?

• Lightest SUSY particle (LSP) could be dark matter candidate!

• LSP is weakly interacting, neutral, and stable

• LSP in range of LC/LHC• LC can determine LSP

mass; check dark matter predictions

LSP is dark matter

generations, anyways?

• Theory inconsistent without top
