BSM : Charged lepton flavor violation & experiment

Seog Oh Duke University

SESAPS, Fall 2016 1 Outline

• SM and shortcomings of SM • Status of charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) experiments • Mu2e experiment

SESAPS, Fall 2016 2 Players in SM

SESAPS, Fall 2016 3 Discovery of Higgs boson (2012)

H0 -> gg

H0 -> ZZ(*) -> 4l H0 -> gg

SESAPS, Fall 2016 4 Shortcomings of SM

• 19 parameters – Masses of particles, quark mixing angles, gauge couplings, vacuum expectation value – More if neutrino mixing angles are included • Hierarchy (naturalness) problem – correction to Higgs mass becomes very large (has to introduce a very fine adjustment or cutoff, new physics) • Particle and anti-particle asymmetry • No gravity • No dark matter/energy

SESAPS, Fall 2016 5 disappointment/glimpse of beyond SM search

• New particles : Z’, W’, t’, LQ, H+, SUSY (~50 searches) • Dark matter • Rare decays (deviation from SM) – B0 ->mm, K*0mm

• g of : am=(g-2)/2 : ~ 3 sigma deviation • EDM • Charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV): t <->m<->e

Phy 766S, Fall 2016 6 Charged lepton flavor violation(CLFV) • Quarks mix among themselves (CKM)

weak eigenstate (d’,s’,b’) <- V -> mass eigenstate (d,s,b) • Neutrinos oscillate flavor eigenstate (e,m,t) <- U-> mass eigenstate (1,2,3)

• ?? - Why not the charged leptons.. (e, m, t)

Phy 766S, Fall 2016 7 CLFV experiments • m -> e (in Nuclear field)

• m -> eg SM Rate : ~10-54 • m -> ee+e-

0 • KL -> me (mm and ee are SM allowed) • K+ -> p+me • Z0 -> me, te, tm

SESAPS, Fall 2016 10 The ratio: m ->e /m ->eg

~ a ~1/a (1/137) (137)

SESAPS, Fall 2016 11 SESAPS, Fall 2016 12 (MEG) m -> eg

SESAPS, Fall 2016 13 Difficulties Accidental background Detector resolution

SESAPS, Fall 2016 14 m -> eee (Mu3e collaboration)

SESAPS, Fall 2016 15 Expected run : 2018

SESAPS, Fall 2016 16 m to e experiments • What do we measure:

• Goal (2015) ~ 10-16 -10-17 • How : – generate a large number of negative – stop & capture and they decay to e- – the momentum of the is ~mass of the muon (105.66 MeV). This is a very distinct signal.

SESAPS, Fall 2016 19 SESAPS, Fall 2016 20 Improvements • More stopping muons (~1018m, m/p ~ 0.0016) • Reduce background from proton target – Pulsed beam and no data taking for ~700 ns

3x107p/pulse

– Beam is monitored with extinct monitor detector – Curved solenoid : remove neutral and positive particles • Better tracking - momentum resolution

SESAPS, Fall 2016 24 Stopping target • Made of 21 aluminum foil (0.15 mm thick) • Stop muons via dE/dx • Form muonic atom (~ ps) and then - - -Decay in orbit (m ->e nmne) main background -Captured by nuclei - (m N(A,z) -> nmN*(A,z-1)) Our denominator in Rme -Conversion – the signal ~ 20 fm

SESAPS, Fall 2016 25 Denominator in Rme - capture : m N(A,Z) -> nmN*(A,Z-1) - (m p -> nmn) N*(A,Z-1) ->N(A,Z-1)+g

SESAPS, Fall 2016 26 Main background • The maximum momentum of muons decaying in free space is 52.8 MeV - - (m ->e nmne ).

e nmne

• But for DIO because of nuclei the momentum spectrum changes. This dictates our detector momentum resolution requirement.
