Outstanding questions: physics beyond the Standard Model.

نویسنده

  • John Ellis
چکیده

The Standard Model of particle physics agrees very well with experiment, but many important questions remain unanswered, among them are the following. What is the origin of particle masses and are they due to a Higgs boson? How does one understand the number of species of matter particles and how do they mix? What is the origin of the difference between matter and antimatter, and is it related to the origin of the matter in the Universe? What is the nature of the astrophysical dark matter? How does one unify the fundamental interactions? How does one quantize gravity? In this article, I introduce these questions and discuss how they may be addressed by experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, with particular attention to the search for the Higgs boson and supersymmetry.

Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and Physics beyond the Standard Model

In order to extend the Standard Model to TeV scale energies one must address two basic questions: (1) What is the complete description of the effective theory of fundamental particles at and below the electroweak scale? and (2) What is the dynamics responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking? The answers to these questions are crucial for addressing the third outstanding question of particle ...

CP Violation Beyond the Standard Model

Recent developments concerning CP violation beyond the Standard Model are reviewed. The central target of this presentation is the B system, as it plays an outstanding role in the extraction of CKM phases. Besides a general discussion of the appearance of new physics in the corresponding CP-violating asymmetries through B q–B 0 q mixing (q ∈ {d, s}), it is emphasized that CP violation in non-le...

ضریب گشتاور مغناطیسی لپتون باردار در فضا- زمان ناجابه‌جایی

 The g-factor of the charged leptons has always been considered by many physicists, both experimentaly as well as theoretically. In fact the electron and muon g-factor play the main role in testing the QED as well as the standard model. Meanwhile, there is a discrepancy between the standard model prediction of the muon anomalies magnetic moment and its experimental determination as large as (25...

CP violation in charm

Charm transitions play a unique dual role in the modern investigations of flavor physics. They provide valuable supporting measurements for studies of CPviolation in B-decays, such as formfactors and decays constants, as well as outstanding opportunities for indirect searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). It must be noted that in many dynamical models of new physics the effects of...
