3 The Higgs mechanism
• The Higgs potential: V =μ2 ϕ†ϕ + λ (ϕ†ϕ)2 • Vacuum = Ground state = Minimum of V:
2 • If μ >0 (massive particle): ϕmin = 0 (no symmetry breaking)
2 2 1/2 • If μ <0: ϕmin = ±v = ±(-μ /λ) These two minima in one dimension correspond to a continuum of minimum values in SU(2). The point ϕ = 0 is now unstable.
• Choosing the minimum (e.g. at +v) gives the vacuum a preferred direction in isospin space → spontaneous symmetry breaking
• Perform perturbation around the minimum Higgs self-couplings In the SM, the Higgs self-couplings are a consequence of the Higgs potential after expansion of the Higgs field H~(1,2)1 around the vacuum expectation value which breaks the ew symmetry:

• The SM does not provide a candidate for Dark Matter (if DM is made of particles) • Dark Energy is unexplained • The amount of CP-violation in the SM is not sufficient to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe/ baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU) Conceptual problems Internal consistency
• Without the Higgs boson (or something equivalent) the SM would be internally inconsistent at the LHC scale! • Without a Higgs the scattering of weak bosons would grow strongly with energy and violate unitarity (conservation of probability) • The Higgs had to be there! (and was found)
• The vacuum stability of the Higgs potential is another necessary condition for the internal consistency of the SM Internal consistency

(and was found) • The vacuum stability of the Higgs potential is another necessary condition for the internal consistency of the SM
No internal inconsistencies so far! Conceptual ‘problems’
• The SM is ‘only’ an effective theory, it doesn’t explain everything...
• effective theory means: the SM is valid up to a scale ΛUV 19 • Gravity not included, therefore ΛUV < MPl~10 GeV because at the Planck scale gravity effects have to be included
n • Error of predictions at energy scale E: O[(E/ΛUV) ] where n = 1,2,3,4,... depending on the truncation of the effective theory • Renormalisability is not considered a fundamental principle anymore, non-renormalisable operators of dimension 5,6,... can be included to reduce the theory error • Systematic approach but involved due to a large number of possible operators (global analysis required) What is ΛUV? • Despite the phenomenal success of the SM, it is not the theory of everything (if this exists at all)
• The SM is ‘only’ an effective theory valid up to a scale ΛUV • What is ΛUV? 19 • gravity not part of SM: ΛUV < MPl~10 GeV • dark energy not part of SM: ΛUV = ?? • dark matter, matter-antimatter asymmetry: ΛUV = ?? 10 • strong CP problem: ΛUV ~ 10 GeV 10 15 • neutrino masses (seesaw): ΛUV ~ 10 ... 10 GeV • hierarchy problem: ΛUV ~ ΛEW (new physics at LHC) Theoretical problems Naturalness problems I
• Hierarchy problem: Why Mew << ΛUV ?
• Naturalness problem: Why Mh << ΛUV ? A fundamental scalar is problematic!
Its mass is not protected from large radiative corrections by any symmetry. Possible solutions to the naturalness problem
• TeV-scale Supersymmetry (a symmetry protecting the scalar)
• TeV-scale Compositeness (the scalar is not fundamental)
• Large extra-dimensions at the TeV-scale (would also solve the hierarchy problem)
All these solutions require new physics at the LHC! What if no new physics is found at the LHC?
• Would be a M A J O R (theoretical) problem!
• Fine-tuning, anthropic principle, multiverse? • NEW classes of solutions?: Relaxion solutions, arXiv:1504.07551 • Non-LHC experiments: (nEDM, proton decay, lepton flavor violation, neutrinoless double- beta decay, ...) • New crazy ideas? Naturalness problems II
• All operators allowed by all symmetries should appear in the Lagrangian; if absent at tree level, these operators are generated at the loop level in any case • Theorists prejudice: naturally, the coefficients of the operators are of O(1) unless there is • a (broken) symmetry • the operator is loop-suppressed • Strong CP problem: There is an allowed term in the QCD Lagrangian (renormalisable, gauge invariant) which violates P, T, CP
Its coefficient is extremly suppressed (or zero). There is only an upper limit... WHY? Naturalness problems III
• The spectrum of fermion masses is not natural Aesthetics, Symmetry, Religion Aestethics, Symmetry, Religion
• Gauge symmetry SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) • not a simple group • left-right asymmetric (maximal parity violation) • Matter content in different representations • left vs right, quarks vs leptons • Why three generations? (Why three space dimensions?) (“Who ordered that?” I. I. Rabi after muon discovery) • Wouldn’t it be a revelation to have complete unification? • one simple gauge group = one interaction • one representation for all matter = one matter type/one primary substance AttractiveFlavor in Unified Theories featuresAMinimalSO(10)Model of GUTs Gauge coupling evolution with threshold K.

• The SM is still in excellent shape
• We need detailed understanding of electroweak symmetry breaking (LHC, Future Linear Collider)
• Important neutrino oscillation experiments
• Low energy experiments probing the SM
• DM searches
• Ongoing searches at LHC! Never give up!
• Theory: It is time to revisit the naturalness problem! Alternative ideas/approaches/explanations needed!
Maybe the SM is valid up to a very high scale. “The desert scenario”.
