Consider a single complex scalar with a “mexican hat” potential (Goldstone model) The potential has an infinite number of equivalent minima for |φ|2 = −m2

The system will choose one specific minimum, breaking the global rotational symmetry
Spontaneous symmetry breaking
The Lagrangian of the theory respects a symmetry, but the vacuum state breaks it
m2 < 0 , λ > 0 φ ≡ 1 √ 2 (φ1 + i φ2) , L = ∂µφ∗ ∂µφ − V (φ) , V (φ) = m2 |φ|2 + λ |φ|4
E.g., we can expand the scalar field around a real vacuum expectation value (vev) At the minimum of the scalar potential (= the vacuum state) we have φ⇥ =

Up to an irrelevant constant, the scalar potential becomes
V = (m2v + λv3) H + 1 2 (m2 + 3λv2) H2 + 1 2 (m2 + λv2) G2 +λv H(H2 + G2) + λ 4 (H2 + G2)2 φ ≡ 1 √ 2 [v + H(x) + i G(x)] , v =

The renormalizability of the theory is still hidden in this unitary gauge, but it becomes manifest with different gauge choices (‘t Hooft, 1971)

- The contributions of the unphysical would-be-Goldstone boson combine with
those of the gauge boson, and we find the same results as in the unitary gauge The propagator of the massive vector boson depends on the choice of gauge: (also, predictions for physical observables must not depend on the arbitrary parameter ) ξ

Interlude: who ordered this particle?
Three PRL papers in 1964 described the mechanism that gives mass to gauge bosons: (does not mention a physical scalar) (cites BE , mentions a massive scalar as an essential feature of the mechanism) (cites BE and H, mentions a scalar which is massless and decoupled) Then Weinberg (1967) and Salam (1968) incorporated the mechanism in the EW theory and ‘t Hooft (1971) proved that spontaneously broken gauge theories are renormalizable

The ending was unexciting... ...but some people just wouldn’t let go:
“(...) the Nobel Committee [5] stated ‘The Goldstone theorem holds in the sense that that Nambu-Goldstone mode is there but it gets absorbed into the third component of a massive vector field.’ (...) It is shown in what follows that that is not a valid view and that a massless gauge particle necessarily remains in the theory.”
[arXiv:1401.6924]
II) The hunt for the Higgs boson
The main contenders:
- Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP) at CERN (1989-2000):
circular e+e- collider, center-of-mass energy up to 209 GeV;
- Tevatron at Fermilab (1983-2012):
circular pp collider, c.o.m. energy up to 2 TeV;
- Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (2011-2012, 2015-? ):
circular pp collider, c.o.m. energy up to 8 TeV (designed for 14 TeV). _

The decay rates of the Higgs boson depend only on its mass (the couplings are all fixed) Decays to bottom quarks dominate at low mass, then WW (and ZZ) for mH > 140 GeV Decays to two photons are loop-suppressed but easy to detect
LEP & Tevatron corner it
Higgs boson production at e+e- colliders
The dominant processes are Higgs-strahlung and WW fusion:
e− e+ Z Z H νe e+ H ¯ νe e−
W − W +
✓ Well-defined energy and momentum in the initial state ✓ “Clean” experimental environment (no QCD background) ✓ Allows for precision studies of the Higgs boson properties (couplings, spin, parity...)
- The cross section is small and it decreases with energy, high luminosity required
- Synchrotron radiation makes circular machines unpractical above LEP2 energy
✦ The International Linear Collider (~500 GeV) could be the next Higgs factory
At LEP, the dominant channel was Higgs-strahlung followed by decay in bottom or tau pairs

At tree level, all of the observables can be expressed in terms of three parameters

The ultimate test of the Higgs mechanism: self-couplings
V = 1 2(2λv2)H2 + λvH3 + 1 4λH4
The Higgs potential includes trilinear and quartic self-couplings: The three-Higgs coupling can be extracted from Higgs pair production. However, suppressed by phase space and diluted by other topologies. E.g., The coupling could be measured with ~50% accuracy in a high-luminosity LHC run and with 10%-20% accuracy at the ILC with 1 TeV No hope to measure directly the four-Higgs coupling via three-Higgs production

III) Beyond the Standard Model
The Standard Model does an excellent job in describing physics at the weak scale. Still, it is unlikely that it is valid all the way up to the scale of quantum gravity
- The SM does not account for neutrino oscillations (this, however, can easily be
fixed by adding heavy and sterile right-handed neutrinos to the theory)
- The SM does not include a suitable candidate for Dark Matter, and cannot justify
the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe Observational arguments for BSM physics
- The SM has many (>20) arbitrary parameters, and a rather complicated structure
(“odd” gauge group, generation mixing, large mass hierarchies among fermions). It would be nice to embed it in a simpler and more predictive theory (e.g., a GUT).
- Quantum corrections destabilize the Higgs mass inducing a quadratic dependence
- n the cutoff scale that regularizes the loop integrals (the hierarchy problem)
Theoretical arguments for BSM physics
The hierarchy problem of the Standard Model
The SM fermion masses are protected by chiral symmetry:
mf × fL fR × fL fR + + · · ·
, thus if is small it stays so even after including quantum corrections
mf δmf ∝ mf
There is no analogous mechanism to protect the scalar mass term:

The radiative corrections depend quadratically on the cutoff scale where New Physics kicks in: If the validity of the SM extends up to the Planck scale (or the GUT scale) we need an extremely fine-tuned cancellation between the tree-level mass and the radiative corrections

- Tough luck, live with fine tuning (SM up to high scales: “nightmare” scenario for LHC?)

Composite Higgs models
The hierarchy problem originates from the fact that the SM Higgs is an elementary scalar (therefore its mass cannot be protected by chiral or gauge symmetries) An intermediate approach is possible: There is a light Higgs scalar (to satisfy the electroweak precision observables) but it is composite, the light remnant of a new strong dynamics responsible for EWSB The classical alternative to the SM Higgs mechanism, i.e. dynamical symmetry breaking such as in Technicolor models, is disfavoured by flavour and electroweak precision tests To preserve EW observables, the particles of the strong sector should be above the TeV scale The composite Higgs can be lighter than the rest if it is a pseudo-Goldstone boson
- f a global symmetry of the strong sector (e.g. Little Higgs, Holographic Higgs, ...)
Even if the new states are heavy, the composite nature of the Higgs should appear at the LHC:
- high-energy growth of the V V V V cross sections
- modified couplings of the Higgs to SM particles
Models with Large Extra Dimensions
Supersymmetry helps the Higgs boson cross the “desert” between MEW and MPlanck An alternative paradigm: there is no desert, and MPlanck ~ MEW !!! The simplest scenario: Arkani-Hamed et al., hep-ph/9803315
4-d spacetime extra compactified dimensions yi yj n dimensions compactified
- ver a radius R
R the usual 4-d spacetime
SM fields The SM fields live on a 4-d “brane” but gravity propagates in the “bulk” The “true” scale of quantum gravity can be lower than the apparent 4-dim Planck scale:
M 2
Pl = M n+2 ∗
(2πR)n n = 1, M∗ = 10 TeV − → R ≈ 1010 m n = 2, M∗ = 10 TeV − → R ≈ 0.1 mm
Gravity is untested below 0.1 mm. For n = 2 the scale of quantum gravity could be as low as 10 TeV (and even lower for larger n !!!)
From a 4d perspective, fields that live in the (4+n)d bulk look like a tower of “Kaluza-Klein” states E.g., a massless scalar living in 5 dimensions can be Fourier-decomposed along the compact dimension:
Φ(xµ, Z) = Φ(xµ, Z + 2πR) Φ(xµ, Z) =
- k=0,±1 ...
φk(xµ) eikZ/R 5 Φ(xµ, Z) = 0 − →
- 4 + k2
R2
- φk(xµ) = 0
The zero mode remains massless, the other modes have increasing masses mk = |k|
R
A typical signature of extra-dim models is the production of gravitons that escape in the bulk Each KK graviton couples to SM matter like 1/MPl , but the sum over the whole tower goes like .
1/M∗
The collider signature is a photon (or a jet) plus missing energy Depending on the specific model, other particles may live in the bulk and have KK excitations
After the first two-year run of the LHC with c.o.m. energy of 7-8 TeV, all we got from BSM searches is bounds on the new-particle masses
