The story of the Universe From the Big Bang to today's Universe

01.05.03 v2 The story of the Universe 5 Quantum gravity era 10-43 s Gravity separates as a force, the other forces remain as one (Grand Unification)
?
t < 10-43 s : The Big Bang The universe is considered to have expanded from a single point with an infinitely high energy density (infinite temperature). Is there a meaning to the question what existed before the big bang? t ≈ 10-43 s, 1032 K (1019 GeV, 10-34 m) : Gravity “freezes” out All particle types (quarks, leptons, gauge bosons, and undiscovered particles e.g.Higgs, sparticles, gravitons) and their anti-particles are in a thermal equilibrium (being created and annihilated at equal rate). These coexist with photons (radiation). Through a phase transition gravity "froze" out and became distinct in its action from the weak, electromagnetic and strong forces. The other three forces could not be distinguished from one another in their action on quarks and leptons. This is the first instance of the breaking of symmetry amongst the forces.
01.05.03 v2 The story of the Universe 6 Grand unification era 10-35 s Inflation ceases, expansion continues Grand Unification breaks. Strong and electroweak forces become distinguishable
t ≈ 10-35 s, 1027 K (1016 GeV, 10-32 m) : Inflation The rate of expansion increases exponentially for a short period. The universe doubled in size every 10-34 s. Inflation stopped at around 10-32 s. The universe increased in size by a factor of 1050. This is equivalent to an object the size of a proton swelling to 1019 light years across. The whole universe is estimated to have had a size of ~1023 m at the end of the period of inflation. However the presently visible universe was only 3 m in size after inflation. This solves the problems of ‘horizon’ (how is it possible for two opposing parts of the present universe to be at the same temperature when they cannot have interacted with each other before recombination) and ‘flatness’ (density of matter is close to the critical density). t ≈ 10-32 s : Strong forces freezes out Through another phase transition the strong force "freezes" out and a slight excess of matter over anti-matter develops. This excess, at a level of 1 part in a billion, is sufficient to give the presently observed predominance of matter over anti-matter. The temperature is too high for quarks to remain clumped to form neutrons or protons and so exist in the form of a quark gluon plasma. The LHC can study this by colliding together high energy nuclei.
01.05.03 v2 The story of the Universe 7 Electroweak era 10-10 s
Electroweak force splits
t ≈ 10-10 s, 1015 K (100 GeV, 10-18 m) : Electromagnetic and Weak Forces separate The energy density corresponds to that at LEP. As the temperature fell the weak force "freezes" out and all four forces become distinct in their actions. The antiquarks annihilate with the quarks leaving a residual excess of matter. W and Z bosons decay. In general unstable massive particles disappear when the temperture falls to a value at which photons from the black-body radiation do not have sufficient energy to create a particle-antiparticle pair.
01.05.03 v2 The story of the Universe 8 Protons and neutrons form 10-4 s
Quarks combine to make protons and neutrons
t ≈ 10-4 s, 1013 K (1 GeV, 10-16 m) : Protons and Neutrons form The universe has grown to the size of our solar system. As the temperature drops quark-antiquark annihilation stops and the remaining quarks combine to make protons and neutrons. t = 1 s, 1010 K (1 MeV, 10-15 m) : Neutrinos decouple The neutrinos become inactive (essentially do not participate further in interactions). The electrons and positrons annihilate and are not recreated. An excess of electrons is left. The neutron-proton ratio shifts from 50:50 to 25:75.
01.05.03 v2 The story of the Universe 9 Nuclei are formed 100 s
Protons and neutrons combine to form helium nuclei
t = 3 minutes, 109 K (0.1 MeV, 10-12 m) : Nuclei are formed The temperature is low enough to allow nuclei to be formed. Conditions are similar to those that exist in stars today or in thermonuclear bombs. Heavier nuclei such as deuterium, helium and lithium soak up the neutrons that are present. Any remaining neutrons decay with a time constant of ~ 1000 seconds. The neutron-proton ratio is now 13:87. The bulk constitution of the universe is now in place consisting essentially of protons (75%) and helium nuclei. The temperature is still too high to form any atoms and electrons form a gas of free particles.
01.05.03 v2 The story of the Universe 10 Atoms and light era 300000 years
The Universe becomes transparent and fills with light
t = 300 000 years, 6000 K (0.5 eV, 10-10 m) : Atoms are created Electrons begin to stick to nuclei. Atoms of hydrogen, helium and lithium are created. Radiation is no longer energetic enough to break atoms. The universe becomes transparent. Matter density dominates. Astronomy can study the evolution of the Universe back to this time.
01.05.03 v2 The story of the Universe 11 Galaxy formation 1000 million years
Galaxies begin to form
t = 109 years, 18 K : Galaxy Formation Local mass density fluctuations act as seeds for stellar and galaxy formation. The exact mechanism is still not understood. Nucleosynthesis, synthesis of heavier nuclei such as carbon up to iron, starts occurring in the thermonuclear reactors that are stars. Even heavier elements are synthesized and dispersed in the brief moment during which stellar collapse and supernovae explosions occur.
01.05.03 v2 The story of the Universe 12 Today 15000 million years
Man begins to wonder where it all came from
t = 15 x 109 years, 3 K : Humans The present day. Chemical processes have linked atoms to form molecules. From the dust of stars and through coded messages (DNA) humans emerge to observe the universe around them.

01.05.03 v2 The Compact Muon Solenoid 34 CMS physics : Higgs
The Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics has unified the electromagnetic interaction (carrier: γ) and the weak interaction (carriers: W+, W-, Z0). Yet these four bosons are very different: the γ is massless whereas the W± and Z0 are quite massive (80 and 90 GeV respectively). In the framework of the SM particles acquire mass through their interaction with the Higgs field. This implies the existence of a new particle: the Higgs boson H0. The theory only provides a general upper mass limit of about 1 TeV, but it does predict its production rate and decay modes for each possible mass. CMS has been optimized to discover the Higgs up to a mass of 1 TeV. Examples of decay modes are:
Higgs to 2 photons (MH < 140 GeV)
Higgs to 4 leptons (140 < MH< 700 GeV)
Higgs to 2 leptons+2 jets (MH > 500 GeV)
01.05.03 v2 The Compact Muon Solenoid 35 Higgs to 2 photons (MH < 140 GeV)
H0 → γγ is the most promising channel
γ if MH is in the range 80 – 140 GeV.
The high performance PbWO4 crystal p H p electromagnetic calorimeter in CMS has been optimized for this search. The γγ mass resolution at Mγγ ~ 100 γ GeV is better than 1%, resulting in a γ S/B of ≈1/20
