Supersymmetry Theory What we are aiming to do, e.g.: At higher energies, where symmetries are unbroken, you might expect a unified theory should have a single coupling constant Supersymmetry Theory and the Higgs To make things simpler, it would be nice if all the forces of nature were unified under the same theoretical framework. The energy at which this is likely called the Planck energy (1019 GeV). This was started in the 1970s - the result is the electroweak theory. The theory is intricate and complicated, partly because the photon is massless, but the W & Z are heavy. The electroweak theory posits that the very different carriers, and therefore properties, of these forces at energy scales present in nature today are actually the result of taking a much more symmteric theory at higher energies, above the ‘electroweak scale’ of 90GeV (the W and Z rest energy) and ‘spontaneously breaking’ it. The theoretical mechanism for spontaneous symmetry breaking requires yet another new particle, a spin zero particle called the HIGGS BOSON.

    CERNMarch/April 2021 cerncourier.com COURIERReporting on international high-energy physics WELCOME CERN Courier – digital edition Welcome to the digital edition of the March/April 2021 issue of CERN Courier. Hadron colliders have contributed to a golden era of discovery in high-energy physics, hosting experiments that have enabled physicists to unearth the cornerstones of the Standard Model. This success story began 50 years ago with CERN’s Intersecting Storage Rings (featured on the cover of this issue) and culminated in the Large Hadron Collider (p38) – which has spawned thousands of papers in its first 10 years of operations alone (p47). It also bodes well for a potential future circular collider at CERN operating at a centre-of-mass energy of at least 100 TeV, a feasibility study for which is now in full swing. Even hadron colliders have their limits, however. To explore possible new physics at the highest energy scales, physicists are mounting a series of experiments to search for very weakly interacting “slim” particles that arise from extensions in the Standard Model (p25). Also celebrating a golden anniversary this year is the Institute for Nuclear Research in Moscow (p33), while, elsewhere in this issue: quantum sensors HADRON COLLIDERS target gravitational waves (p10); X-rays go behind the scenes of supernova 50 years of discovery 1987A (p12); a high-performance computing collaboration forms to handle the big-physics data onslaught (p22); Steven Weinberg talks about his latest work (p51); and much more.

The direct constraint on this phase comes from the limit of electric dipole moments ͑EDM’s͒ of various light fermions. To avoid such a constraint, a scheme which assumes that the first two generation sfermions are very heavy is usually evoked to suppress the one-loop EDM contributions. We point out that under such a scheme the most severe constraint may come from a new contribution to the electric dipole moment of the electron, the neutron, or atoms via the chargino sector at the two-loop level. As a result, the allowed parameter space for baryogenesis in the MSSM is severely constrained, independent of the masses of the first two generation sfermions.

China FCNC processes offer important tools to test the Standard Model (SM), and to search for possible new physics. In this work, we investigate the s → dνν¯ rare hyperon decays in SM and beyond. We 14 11 find that in SM the branching ratios for these rare hyperon decays range from 10− to 10− . When all the errors in the form factors are included, we find that the final branching fractions for most decay modes have an uncertainty of about 5% to 10%. After taking into account the contribution from new physics, the generalized SUSY extension of SM and the minimal 331 model, the decay widths for these channels can be enhanced by a factor of 2 ∼ 7. I. INTRODUCTION The flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions provide a critical test of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) mechanism in the Standard Model (SM), and allow to search for the possible new physics. In SM, FCNC transition s dνν¯ proceeds through Z-penguin and electroweak box diagrams, and thus the decay probablitities are strongly→ suppressed. In this case, a precise study allows to perform very stringent tests of SM and ensures large sensitivity to potential new degrees of freedom. + + 0 A large number of studies have been performed of the K π νν¯ and KL π νν¯ processes, and reviews of these two decays can be found in [1–6].

This analysis uses data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector from proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy √s =13 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.26 fb−1. This search focuses on a R-parity conserving model of Supersymmetry where electroweak decay of SUSY particles results in the lightest supersymmetric particle, two high energy photons, and an electron. The light- est supersymmetric particle would escape the detector, thus resulting in missing transverse energy. No excess of missing energy is observed in the signal region of MET>100 GeV. A limit is set on the SUSY electroweak Chargino-Neutralino production cross section. 3 Contents 1 Introduction 9 1.1 Weakly Interacting Massive Particles . ..... 10 1.2 SUSY ..................................... 12 2 CMS Detector 15 3Data 17 3.1 ParticleFlowandReconstruction . .. 17 3.1.1 ECALClusteringandR9. 17 3.1.2 Conversion Safe Electron Veto . 18 3.1.3 Shower Shape . 19 3.1.4 Isolation .

We find that successful baryogenesis during the first order electroweak phase transition is possible within a phenomenologically viable part of the model parameter space. We discuss several phenomenological consequences of this scenario, namely, predictions for the electric dipole moments of electron and neutron and collider signatures of light charginos and neutralinos.

    Mass Degeneracy of the Higgsinos

    CERN–TH/95–337 Mass Degeneracy of the Higgsinos Gian F. Giudice1 and Alex Pomarol Theory Division, CERN CH-1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland Abstract The search for charginos and neutralinos at LEP2 can become problematic if these particles are almost mass degenerate with the lightest neutralino. Unfortunately this is the case in the region where these particles are higgsino-like. We show that, in this region, radiative corrections to the higgsino mass splittings can be as large as the tree-level values, if the mixing between the two stop states is large. We also show that the degree of degeneracy of the higgsinos substantially increases if a large phase is present in the higgsino mass term µ. CERN–TH/95–337 December 1995 1On leave of absence from INFN Sezione di Padova, Padua, Italy. The search for charginos (˜χ+) at LEP2 is one of the most promising ways of discovering low-energy supersymmetry. If theχ ˜+ decays into the lightest neutralino (˜χ0) and a virtual W +, it can be discovered at LEP2 (with a L = 500 pb−1) whenever its production cross R section is larger than about 0.1–0.3pbandmχ˜0 is within the range mχ˜0 ∼> 20 GeV and mχ˜+ − mχ˜0 ∼> 5–10 GeV [1]. Therefore, the chargino can be discovered almost up to the LEP2 kinematical limit, unless one of the following three conditions occurs: i) The sneutrino (˜ν) is light and the chargino is mainly gaugino-like. In this case theν ˜ t-channel exchange interferes destructively with the gauge-boson exchange and can reduce the chargino production cross section below the minimum values required for observability, 0.1–0.3 pb.

Berezinsky) The best particle candidates for non–baryonic cold dark matter are reviewed, namely, neutralino, axion, axino and Majoron. These particles are considered in the context of cosmological models with the restrictions given by the observed mass spectrum of large scale structures, data on clusters of galaxies, age of the Universe etc. 1.
