New, Light Weakly-Coupled Particles (as DM)

C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics Stony Brook University Exploring New Frontiers:

Lepton Photon Symposium June 2013

slide-2
SLIDE 2

New, light weakly-coupled particles

are motivated by dark matter, theory, strong CP problem, muon g-2, and astrophysics anomalies

slide-3
SLIDE 3

Topics covered

  • axions & axion-like particles
  • dark photons
  • sub-GeV dark matter

many topics not covered, but for a summary see e.g. “Fundamental Physics at the Intensity Frontier” 1205.2671

New, light weakly-coupled particles

are motivated by dark matter, theory, strong CP problem, muon g-2, and astrophysics anomalies

The State of Particle Physics 2013

The success of the Standard Model is a triumph Pre-LHC: discovery of something new at LHC was guaranteed And now? no experiment currently running or planned for the future is guaranteed to discover a new particle/force But we are in a new era We know there is more new physics, but…

slide-8

Some of our most-cherished ideas have not yielded any success (at least, thus far)

e.g. Naturalness of Weak-scale, WIMP miracle

How live in a world without guarantees?

Should we be worried? Some of our most-cherished ideas have not yielded any success (at least, thus far)

Should we be worried? Some of our most-cherished ideas have not yielded any success (at least, thus far)

e.g. Naturalness of Weak-scale, WIMP miracle

It is of course too early to be worried, but we shouldn’t sit idly by either

How live in a world without guarantees?

How live in a world without guarantees?

In addition to pursuing our “standard” new-physics targets, we should:

How live in a world without guarantees?

In addition to pursuing our “standard” new-physics targets, we should:

  • expand our experimental & theoretical investigations

(there are many other motivated ideas for new physics)

  • pursue several relatively low-cost & motivated experiments

(several nice suggestions exist)

  • aim to fully exploit existing facilities/technologies, but also

develop new ones for a few particularly compelling ideas

It doesn’t have to be at the Weak-scale!

LHC results are challenging the connection between dark matter and Weak-scale naturalness

many possible dark sectors exist motivated not just by dark matter emphasizes the need to broaden experimental searches

Axion

axion is associated with spontaneous breaking at a scale fa

  • support for these explorations is crucial
  • we don’t know which guiding principle for finding new physics is

reliable; must explore all motivated possibilities
