Symmetries

Deeper microstructure ⇒ greater role of symmetries

Field theory: Noether’s theoremContinuous symmetry ⇒ conserving quantity

Spatial displacement ⇒ momentumTime displacement ⇒ energyRotation ⇒ angular momentumGauge invariance ⇒ charge (electric, color, fermion)

Popular journal of Fermilab and SLAC:symmetry — dimensions of particle physics

Interactions

Standard Model:Free Dirac (point-like) fermion

+ local U(1)⊗SU(2) symmetry⇒ electroweak interaction (γ, Z, W±)

+ local SU(3) symmetry⇒ strong interaction (8 gluons)

+ Higgs field with spontaneous symmetry breaking⇒ masses, convergence (+ Higgs boson)

Fundamental job of particle physics:study symmetries

Father of (quantum) field theory:Steven Weinberg

CPT Invariance

Basic assumption of field theory:CPT|p(r, t)> ∼ |p(−r,−t)> ∼ |p(r, t)>

meaning free antiparticle∼

particle going backwards in space and time.

Giving up CPT one has to give up:

locality of interactions ⇒ causality, or

unitarity ⇒ conservation of matter, information,

... or Lorentz invariance

Motivation to doubt:

Asymmetric Universe: no antimatter galaxies

Antimatter in the Universe?

Is it possible to explain its lack without assuming CPTviolation?

YES: Theory of Andrei Sakharov, 1967Baryogenesis (the prevalence of baryons against

antibaryons) in the Universe can be explained if the three(Sakharov) conditions are fulfilled:

violation of baryon number conservation

violation of CP-symmetry

faster expansion than baryon-antibaryon production ⇒low chance for subsequent annihilation.

CP-violation observed, baryon number violation not.Experimental test: LHCb at CERN

CPT Invariance: violation?Theoreticians in general: CPT is NOT violated

CPT-violating theories:(Alan Kostelecký, F.R. Klinkhamer, N.E. Mavromatos et al)

Standard Model valid up to Planck scale (∼ 1019 GeV).Above Planck scale new physics ⇒Lorentz violation possible

Quantum gravity: fluctuations ⇒ Lorentz violationloss of information in black holes ⇒ unitarity violation

Motivation for testing CPT at low energy

Quantitative expression of Lorentz and CPT invarianceneeds violating theory

low-energy tests can limit possible high energyviolation

Supersymmetry (SUSY): motivationTheoretical problems of Standard Model:

Naturalness (hierarchy): Mass of Higgs bosonquadratically diverges due to radiative corrections.Eliminated if fermions and bosons exist in pairs.

Dark matter and energy give dominant energy ofUniverse. What is DM that we observe its gravity only?

Gravity: does not fit in system of gauge interactions(strong, electromagnetic, weak)

Convergence of interactions: in SM the three gaugecouplings converge at ∼ 1016 GeV but do not meet

All these would be solved by a universalfermion ⇔ boson supersymmetry.

Supersymmetry?

Supersymmetry is obviously broken:no such particles,

or maybe with much larger masses

What is a broken symmetry good for?

Higgs mechanism:symmetry violating field ⇒ masses, renormalisation

Higgs field violates an existing symmetrym

SUSY introduces a non-existing one

All this for a rational, cosistent theory

SUMMARY

No Higgs boson, nor supersymmetry found at LEPLHC starts in 2009 with low luminosity, at 10 TeV

We hope for discoveries from 2010Even 10 TeV collision energy is enough for discoveries:

Higgs boson(s), SUSY particles

For precise studies one needs e+e− collider:International Linear Collider (ILC)

LHC design started before LEP constructionILC plans are developing worldwide
