The Standard Model works…
…too good almost.
![Page 4: String Theory & the Future of Particle Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816938550346895de0a162/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
.
The Standard Model is an Effective Quantum Field Theory.It has a cut-off, and eventually has to be derived from an underlying theory.
Hints: naturalness, hierarchy problem (?), DARK MATTER!
Ideas: supersymmetry, unification,… Can be described via Effective QFT.
Why do we need string theory? Inclusion of gravity, uv-completeness (Planck scale),cosmological constant problem (?).

Effective Quantum Field Theory is based on the idea that one can integrate out high energy degrees of freedom (massive particles).It relies on a separation of time and energy scales.
Warning: this does not always work!
• Anomalies.• String theory: extended objects, induced gravity.• Condensed matter: emergence of particles/forces.• Glassy systems.

String Theory is an extension of the framework of QFT. It has a higher degree of self-consistency:
• anomaly cancelations + finiteness• incorporates gravity, black holes…• non-perturbative dualities
Is it UV-complete? Formally, probably yes, but:
String theory is also an effective frameworks.

String Theory: “the old view.”
String Theory postulates that particles are represented by vibrating strings that live in 10 dimensions => need to compactify.
Consistency of the theory will tell us about beyond SM physics and possibly constrain the parameters of the SM.
It can only be tested by ultra HE experiments.

The (Supersymmetric) Standard Model can be embedded in string theory in more than one way.
• Flux compactifications of F-theory.• D-brane constructions.• …
Issues: moduli stabilization Susy breaking Cosmological constant

String Theory: “the present view.”
String Theory is a framework that has succeeded in combining gravity and gauge theory and in some limits is equivalent to it.
String theory incorporates the holographic principle, describes black holes, connects the renormalization group to gravity,and gives hints about the emergenceof space dimensions.
![Page 13: String Theory & the Future of Particle Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816938550346895de0a162/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

String Theory: “the future view.”
String Theory (or whatever we call it) is a universal framework that starts from basic principles (includes QM).
It tells us how space time, matter and forces emerge together from an underlying microscopic description.
Gravity and the holographic principleare not assumed but a logical consequence
![Page 15: String Theory & the Future of Particle Physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56816938550346895de0a162/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What about Dark Energy and Dark Matter?
These are emergent too!
Dark Energy and Dark Matter are a logical consequence of the emergent nature of space-time and of gravity.
Eventually, this leads to a new theory of gravity that reproduces Einstein’s General Relativity at short time and distance scales.
But extends it (not modifies it) at large scales by including Dark Matter and Dark Energy in a natural way.

What would be see if we start colliding matter at the highest possible energy?
What are the most fundamental constituents?

The microscopic phase space is described by the ways in which the N energy quanta with
are distributed over the `calorimetric’ boundary cells.
