However, it was seen that indicating that and . Note that the phase space for these decays is very different: MeV MeV Since the lifetimes are identical, the strength of weak interactions must be different for these different decays universality is violated 25 Yang & Lee (1956) Maybe parity is not conserved in weak interactions, i.e. is really parity-violating channel is really parity-conserving channel They also showed that none of the earlier experiments had really tested intrinsic parity violation...

  • The Algebra of Grand Unified Theories
    The Algebra of Grand Unified Theories John Baez and John Huerta Department of Mathematics University of California Riverside, CA 92521 USA May 4, 2010 Abstract The Standard Model is the best tested and most widely accepted theory of elementary particles we have today. It may seem complicated and arbitrary, but it has hidden patterns that are revealed by the relationship between three ‘grand unified theories’: theories that unify forces and particles by extend- ing the Standard Model symmetry group U(1) × SU(2) × SU(3) to a larger group. These three are Georgi and Glashow’s SU(5) theory, Georgi’s theory based on the group Spin(10), and the Pati–Salam model based on the group SU(2)×SU(2)×SU(4). In this expository account for mathematicians, we ex- plain only the portion of these theories that involves finite-dimensional group representations. This allows us to reduce the prerequisites to a bare minimum while still giving a taste of the profound puzzles that physicists are struggling to solve. 1 Introduction The Standard Model of particle physics is one of the greatest triumphs of physics. This theory is our best attempt to describe all the particles and all the forces of nature... except gravity. It does a great job of fitting experiments we can do in the lab. But physicists are dissatisfied with it. There are three main reasons. First, it leaves out gravity: that force is described by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, arXiv:0904.1556v2 [hep-th] 1 May 2010 which has not yet been reconciled with the Standard Model.

  • – 1– LEPTOQUARK QUANTUM NUMBERS Revised September
    {1{ LEPTOQUARK QUANTUM NUMBERS Revised September 2005 by M. Tanabashi (Tohoku University). Leptoquarks are particles carrying both baryon number (B) and lepton number (L). They are expected to exist in various extensions of the Standard Model (SM). The possible quantum numbers of leptoquark states can be restricted by assuming that their direct interactions with the ordinary SM fermions are dimensionless and invariant under the SM gauge group. Table 1 shows the list of all possible quantum numbers with this assumption [1]. The columns of SU(3)C,SU(2)W,andU(1)Y in Table 1 indicate the QCD representation, the weak isospin representation, and the weak hypercharge, respectively. The spin of a leptoquark state is taken to be 1 (vector leptoquark) or 0 (scalar leptoquark). Table 1: Possible leptoquarks and their quan- tum numbers.

In this model a vector lepto- quark appears at the scale where the Pati-Salam SU(4) “color” gauge group breaks into the familiar QCD SU(3)C group (or CITATION: S.

  • Physics 231A Problem Set Number 8 Due Wednesday, November 24, 2004 Note: Some Problems May Be “Review” for Some of You. I Am
    Physics 231a Problem Set Number 8 Due Wednesday, November 24, 2004 Note: Some problems may be “review” for some of you. I am deliberately including problems which are potentially in this category. If the material of the problem is already well-known to you, such that doing the problem would not be instructive, just write “been there, done that”, or suitable equivalent, for that problem, and I’ll give you credit. 40. Standard Model Review(?): Last week you considered the mass matrix and Z coupling for the neutral gauge bosons in the electroweak theory. Let us discuss a little more completely the couplings of the electroweak gauge bosons to fermions. Again, we’ll work in the standard model where the physical Z and photon (A) states are mixtures of neutral gauge bosons. We start with gauge groups “SU(2)L”and“U(1)Y ”. The gauge bosons of SU(2)L are the W1,W2,W3, all with only left-handed coupling to fermions. The U(1)Y gauge boson is denoted B. The Z and A fields are the mixtures: A = B cos θW + W3 sin θW (48) Z = −B sin θW + W3 cos θW , (49) where θW is the “weak mixing angle”. The Lagrangian contains interaction terms with fermions of the form: 1 1 L = −gf¯ γµ τ · W f − g0f¯ YB ψ, (50) int L 2 µ L 2 µ ≡ 1 − 5 · ≡ 3 where fL 2 (1 γ )ψ, τ Wµ Pi=1 τiWµi, τ are the Pauli matrices acting on weak SU(2)L fermion doublets, Y is the weak hypercharge 0 operator, and g and g are the interaction strengths for the SU(2)L and U(1)Y components, respectively.

  • Luminosity Determination and Searches for Supersymmetric Sleptons and Gauginos at the ATLAS Experiment Anders Floderus
    Luminosity determination and searches for supersymmetric sleptons and gauginos at the ATLAS experiment Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Anders Floderus CERN-THESIS-2014-241 30/01/2015 DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS LUND, 2014 Abstract This thesis documents my work in the luminosity and supersymmetry groups of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The theory of supersymmetry and the concept of luminosity are introduced. The ATLAS experiment is described with special focus on a luminosity monitor called LUCID. A data- driven luminosity calibration method is presented and evaluated using the LUCID detector. This method allows the luminosity measurement to be calibrated for arbitrary inputs. A study of particle counting using LUCID is then presented. The charge deposited by particles passing through the detector is shown to be directly proportional to the luminosity. Finally, a search for sleptons and gauginos in final states −1 with exactly two oppositely charged leptons is presented. The search is based onp 20.3 fb of pp collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector in 2012 at a center-of-mass energy of s = 8 TeV. No significant excess over the Standard Model expectation is observed. Instead, limits are set on the slepton and gaugino masses. ii Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Partikelfysiken är studien av naturens minsta beståndsdelar — De så kallade elementarpartiklarna.

  • On the Origin of the Universe
    ON THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE AFSAR ABBAS Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar-751005, India (e-mail : [email protected]) Abstract It has been proven recently that the Standard Model of particle physics has electric charge quantization built into it. It has also been shown by the author that there was no electric charge in the early universe. Further it is shown here that the restoration of the full Standard Model symmetry ( as in the Early Universe ) leads to the result that ‘time’, ‘light’, along with it’s velocity c and the theory of relativity, all lose any physical meaning. The physical Universe as we know it, with its space-time structure, disappears in this phase transition. Hence it is hypothesized here that the Universe came into existence when the Standard Model symmetry SU(3)C ⊗SU(2)L ⊗U(1)Y arXiv:astro-ph/0003065v2 21 Jun 2001 was spontaneously broken to SU(3)C ⊗ U(1)em. This does not require any spurious extensions of the Standard Model and in a simple and consistent manner explains the origin of the Universe within the framework of the Stan- dard Model itself. 1 In the currently popular Standard Model of cosmology the Universe is believed to have originated in a Big Bang. Thereafter it started expanding and cooling. Right in the initial stages, it is believed that models like super- string theories, supergravity, and GUTs etc would be applicable. When the Universe cooled to 100 GeV or so, the Standard Model of particle physics (SM) symmetry of SU(3)C ⊗ SU(2)L ⊗ U(1)Y was spontaneously broken to SU(3)C ⊗ U(1)em.

The quark model was a first successful attempt to categorize this particle zoo. It was based on the so-called flavor symmetry, which is an approximate symmetry. This motivated the use of group theory in particle physics [10]. In this article we will make use of gauge symmetries, which are local symmetries, to explain the existence of interaction particles and show how the matter fields transform under these symmetries, section 2.

  • The Algebra of Grand Unified Theories
    The Algebra of Grand Unified Theories John Baez and John Huerta Department of Mathematics University of California Riverside, CA 92521 USA March 21, 2009 1 Introduction The Standard Model of particle physics is one of the greatest triumphs of physics. This theory is our best attempt to describe all the particles and all the forces of nature... except gravity. It does a great job of fitting exper- iments we can do in the lab. But physicists are dissatisfied with it. There are three main reasons. First, it leaves out gravity: that force is described by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which has not yet been reconciled with the Standard Model. Second, astronomical observations suggest that there may be forms of matter not covered by the Standard Model|most notably, `dark matter'. And third, the Standard Model is complicated and seemingly arbitrary. This goes against the cherished notion that the laws of nature, when deeply understood, are simple and beautiful. For the modern theoretical physicist, looking beyond the Standard Model has been an endeavor both exciting and frustrating. Most modern attempts are based on string theory. There are also other interesting approaches, such as loop quantum gravity and theories based on noncommutative ge- ometry. But back in the mid 1970's, before any of these currently popular approaches came to prominence, physicists pursued a program called `grand unification’. This sought to unify the forces and particles of the Standard Model using the mathematics of Lie groups, Lie algebras, and their repre- sentations. Ideas from this era remain influential, because grand unification is still one of the most fascinating attempts to find order and beauty lurking within the Standard Model.
