Fundamental Particles & Forces

Force Carrier Quanta
Gauge symmetry is fundamental to electrodynamics• when extended to electroweak theory, requires massless W,Z• how to accomodate their large masses?
Photon (electromagnetic)• verified 1922• mass of photon = 0
W,Z bosons (weak force)• verified 1983• mW, mZ: 80 GeV/c2, 91 GeV/c2

Beyond the Standard Model
J. Nielsen 5
Maybe these “shadow” particles are the astronomical dark matter
![Page 6: J. Nielsen1 The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider Jason Nielsen UC Santa Cruz VERTEX 2004 July 28, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649d785503460f94a5ba4f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hunting for Extra Dimensions
J. Nielsen 6
Excitations of particles in extra dimensions will show up as high-mass particles in the ATLAS detector
![Page 7: J. Nielsen1 The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider Jason Nielsen UC Santa Cruz VERTEX 2004 July 28, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649d785503460f94a5ba4f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
J. Nielsen 7
So What IS the Higgs boson?
Higgs boson is a condensate of the pervasive Higgs field
Higgs field “grabs” particles and slows them down (gives them mass)
Similar to photon, except Higgs boson is not a force carrier
What kinds of particles do it couple to?• Its couplings are proportional to the fermion masses• So it couples most strongly to the most massive particles
This makes it clear how to search for it, if it exists…

How to Produce a Higgs Boson

But Higgs boson is fleeting:decays immediately to characteristic “final state”
Physical Higgs bosons can be produced, given enough energy
(Here ECM > mH + mZ)
That’s where the collider comes in
That’s where the detector comes in

How does the Higgs Boson Decay?
Notice coupling to massive particles (bb, tt, WW, ZZ)
For low mass Higgs, expect decay to b quark pairs;For very high mass Higgs expect decay to ZZ

Bumps in the Mass SpectrumDecay products of the Higgs boson form a mass resonance- similar to resonances from past discoveries of new particles
Strategy for identifying Higgs boson production:1. Excess of events in Wbb signature (or other signature)2. Higgs decay products form a invariant mass peak

Increased production of heavy particles like Higgs, top quark
More particles at higher energyrequires new detector designand technology
