Low Energy Probes of Physics Beyond the Standard Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low-energy tests of fundamental symmetries and studies of neutrino properties provide a powerful window on physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). In this article, we provide a basic theoretical framework for a subsequent set of articles that review the progress and opportunities in various aspects of the low-energy program. We illustrate the physics reach of different low-energy probes in terms of an effective BSM mass scale and illustrate how this reach matches and, in some cases, even exceeds that accessible at the high energy frontier. 1 ar X iv :1 30 4. 00 17 v1 [ he pph ] 2 9 M ar 2 01 3

New Physics in B and K Decays
Flavour physics offers interesting probes for the exploration of the Standard Model and the search for new physics. In these lectures, we focus on Band K-meson decays, introduce the concept of low-energy effective Hamiltonians to describe them theoretically, and discuss how physics beyond the Standard Model may generically affect the roadmap of quark-flavour physics. We address then both the im...
متن کاملPhenomenology Beyond the Standard Model
Written on the ceiling fresco of the beautiful Festsaal of the Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, are two words: Causarum Investigatio. Just as these words must have inspired Boltzmann and Schrödinger, today we are inspired to investigate the causes and more fundamental structures underlying the Standard Model of particle physics. The Standard Model is in remarkably successful agreem...
متن کاملLeptonic Probes of the Standard Model
The Standard Model constitutes one of the most successful achievements in modern physics. It is a very elegant theoretical framework, which is able to describe nearly all known experimental facts in particle physics [1,2]. The known leptons have provided clean probes to perform very precise tests of the electroweak gauge structure, at the 0.1% to 1% level. Moreover, the hadronic τ decays turn o...
متن کاملProbing New Physics: from Charm to Superstrings∗†
Effective theories based on experimental data provide powerful probes and tests of underlying theories in elementary particle physics. Examples within and beyond the Standard Model are discussed, including a specific model for supersymmetry breaking within the context of the weakly coupled heterotic string. Talk presented at Arkadyfest, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, May 17-18, 2002,...
متن کاملDiboson Physics at the Tevatron
s = 1.96 TeV are effective probes of the electro-weak gauge structure in the Standard Model (SM). Due to the potentially high energy scale in the collisions, bosonic operators beyond the leading order in the Lagrangian become important at the Tevatron and make the theoretical interpretations non trivial. The fact that we need cut-offs in our models in order to maintain unitarity underline the i...
