EWSB - one of Great Mysteries of Particle Physics

• SM ………………………. 1 Higgs

• Strong EWSB …….. no Higgs

• SUSY (MSSM) ..... 5 Higgs

• Large Extra Dimensions

• Little Higgs

Λ is not 1019 GeV, Λ is as low as 103 GeV

H not elementary, it melts into techniquarks at ΛTC ≈ 1-3 TeV

Fundamental energy scales

Greg Anderson, Northwestern University

Every fundamental energy scale should have a dynamical origin

K. Lane

Linear sigma model (model of nuclear forces)

SU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V

v = μ/√λ ≈ 90 MeV

U(σ,π)

σ = v + σ (spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking)

Standard model Higgs Lagrangian

SU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V

v = μ/√λ ≈ 246 GeV

SU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V (global)

SU(2)L x U(1)Y → U(1)Q (local)

mσ = μ2

mπ = 0

massless GB

Higgs mechanism: W,Z become massive by eating GB

EW pions Φ1,Φ2,χ become WL, ZL

Where are EW pions ???

10

Where is σ ?

… the (linear) σ model, although it has some agreeable features, is quite artificial. A new

particle is postulated, for which there is no experimental evidence …

M. Gell-Mann, M. Levy, Nuovo Cimento 16 p.705 (1960)

… and they decided to get rid of σ particle …

11

Nonlinear σ model (QCD)

Effective Lagrangian valid until a few hundred MeV

v = 90 MeV

12

Where is Higgs boson ?

… Higgs Lagrangian, although it has some agreeable features, is quite artificial. A new particle is postulated, for which there is no experimental evidence …

… so we get rid of the Higgs boson

Higgs boson is not necessary, Higgs mechanism works even without Higgs !

13

Nonlinear σ model (SM Higgs sector)

v = 246 GeV

Effective Lagrangian valid until 1-3 TeV

14

Chiral SB in QCD SU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V , vev ~ 90 MeV

EWSBSU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V , vev ~ 246 GeV

15

Technicolor Technicolor of massless U and D techniquarks: SU(2)L x SU(2)R invariant

As a result of dynamics, interactions of massless techniquarks, we get

- SU(2)L x SU(2)R → SU(2)V

- v = 246 GeV

- EW pions = WL, ZL made of U,D techniquarks

Best explanation of Naturalness & Hierarchy problems

16

Extended Technicolor (ETC)

ETC was introduced to give masses to fermions… but introduced also large FCNC and conflict with

precision EW measurements

Walking technicolor

ETC has also problem to explain large top mass (mt = 174 GeV)

Low energy constraints

gπ ≤ 1.75 (Mρ= 700 GeV)gt ≤ 1.7 (Mρ= 700 GeV)

gv ≥ 10 → gπ ≤ 0.2 Mρ (TeV)|b2 – λ2| ≤ 0.04 → gt

≈ gv b2 / 4|b1 – λ1| ≤ 0.01 → b1 = 0
