EXTENDED'GAUGE'SYMMETRIES

  • New gauge bosons predicted by many extensions of the Standard Model with extended

gauge symmetries!

– ZSSM in Sequential Standard Model with same Z0 coupling
 as in Standard Model! – Z’ψ , Z’χ , Z’η models from E6 and SO(10) GUT groups! – Left-Right symmetry model (LRM) and Alternative LRM (ALRM)! – The Kaluza-Klein model (KK) from Extra Dimension! – Little, Littlest Higgs model!

  • No precise prediction for mass scale of gauge bosons!
  • Discrimination of different models requires measurement of!

– cross section: limits with very little data! – mass: exact value requires a visible peak! – width: about same amount of data as for for mass! – backward-forward asymmetry: requires high statistics in order to divide events in categories!

  • Backgrounds!

– relatively clean with good S/B ! – mostly tails of SM processes!

  • Experimental challenges!

– detector resolution can be a key player! – 1.3% - 2.4% for electrons and 7% for muons at 1 TeV mass!

  • extra care for energy/momentum reconstruction above 1 TeV

EXTRA'DIMENSIONS

  • Hierarchy problem: MEW/MPl ~ 10−17!
  • Gravity much weaker than other gauge fields!
  • Possible solution: Existence of extra dimensions!!
  • Gravity scale lowered to ~ 1 TeV if gravitons propagate in 4+n dimensions!

– weak in our 4D universe but strongly interacting
 in the extra dimensions!

  • If ED similar to our 3+1 dimensions


Newton’s law affected!

– experimentally probed down to R < 160 microns!

  • Tighter constraints if ED probed by elementary


particles!

– M = 100 GeV corresponds to distance of 10-18 m!

  • Several models available with possible 


signatures to be seen at LHC!

– Graviton (and its KK modes), Black Holes

ORIGIN'OF'EXTRA'DIMENSIONS

110

  • The idea that space has extra, hitherto unobservable

dimensions goes back to the beginning of the twentieth century, by Kaluza (1925) and Klein (1926).

  • It comes naturally in string theory.

How come they are not visible today?

(A) Because they compact and sufficiently small. (B) Because we are “stuck” on the 4D world. (C) Because they are of a more bizarre kind (for example, they are discretized appropri- ately)

slide-9
SLIDE 9

SMALL'COMPACT'DIMENSION

111

A compact, sufficiently small extra dimension is not visible ! A simple example of a space with one compact (circle) and one non- compact (real line) dimension: a hose of infinite length and radius R. There are two regimes: (A) At distance << R the space looks like an (infinite) two-dimensional plane.

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Shahram Rahatlou, Roma Sapienza & INFN 112

(B) At distance >> R the compact direction of the hose is invisible. The hose looks one-dimensional.

R R

We will now make this intuition more precise.

WARPED'EXTRA'DIMENSION

  • Randall-Sundrum scenario!

– One warped Extra dimension!

  • 3D distances shrink between SM and Planck branes!
  • Boundary conditions in ED give rise to periodical wave

functions
 corresponding to well separated Graviton resonances
 (aka Kaluza-Klein towers)!

  • parameters of metric determine mass of new particles!

!

  • Gravitons propagate in bulk!

! ! !

  • Production at hadron collider via coupling


to SM paticles

MUCH'ADO'ABOUT'NOTHING

  • Perhaps the worst case of misleading and wrong scientific information in

history prior to start of LHC!

  • Too much noise about non-existent dangers based on wrong assumptions

by non-scientists!

  • No way to create an black holes in the lab!
  • Black hole is a term used both for astrophysical objects and solution to a

pure mathematical problem!

  • Dedicated safety assessment group has studied and release a detailed

summary!

– Review of the Safety of LHC Collisions: http://arxiv.org/abs/0806.3414!

  • Of course there is no danger!
  • if course nothing crazy has happened!
  • Unfortunately none of the newspaper has reported that idiots claiming

catastrophes were unreliable idiots with no scientific knowledge looking
 for 1-day fame

MICRO/QUANTUM'BLACK'HOLES'

  • Black Holes are a direct prediction of Einstein’s general theory on relativity!
  • If Planck scale ~TeV region, expect Quantum Black Hole production!
  • Using Gauss’s law with n extra dimensions!
  • For small extra dimension of size R!

!

  • Relation between planck scale in 4D and 4+nD!
  • Schwarzschild radius is the radius in which a confined mass would become

a black hole!

!

– Mpl = 1019 GeV in 4D implies rh << 10-35 m! – Mpl = TeV in 4+n D implies rh ~ 10-17 m !

  • Occasionally protons with parton center of mass energy


could collide at a distance smaller than rh!

  • such collisions satisfy the black hole definition but with tiny mass
