13The Energy Frontier
Historically HEP has advanced with machines that
increase the available C.M. energy. The LHC is
designed to cover the allowed Higgs mass range.
Colliders give maximum C.M. energy.
14The Standard Model of Elementary Particle Physics
- Matter consists of half integral spin fermions.
The strongly interacting fermions are called
quarks. The fermions with electroweak
interactions are called leptons. The uncharged
leptons are called neutrinos. - The forces are carried by integral spin bosons.
The strong force is carried by 8 gluons (g), the
electromagnetic force by the photon (?), and the
weak interaction by the W Zo and W-. The g and ?
are massless, while the W and Z have 80 and 91
GeV mass respectively.

15Gravity Hail and Farewell
Ignore gravity. However, gravity is a precursor
gauge theory which is non-Abelian. The gauge
quanta are charged ? non-linearity. The gravity
field carries energy, or mass. Therefore,
gravity gravitates. This is also true of the
strong force (gluons are colored) and the weak
force (W,Z carry weak charge). The photon is the
only gauge boson which is uncharged.
16 How do the Z and W acquire mass and not the
photon?
- Gravity - Physics is the same in any local
general coordinate system --gt metric tensor or
spin 2 massless graviton coupled universally to
mass GN. - Electromagnetism - Physics is the same regardless
of wave function phase assigned at each local
point --gt massless, spin 1, photon field with
universal coupling e - These are gauge theories where local invariance
implies massless quanta and specifies a universal
( GN, e ) coupling of the field to matter. - Strong interactions are mediated by massless
gluons universally coupled to the color
charge of quarks gs. - Weak interactions are mediated by massive W,Z,W-
universally coupled to quarks and leptons.
gWsin?W e. How does this spontaneous
electroweak symmetry breaking occur? (Higgs
mechanism)
17Lepton Colliders - LEP
Z peak L and R leptons have different
couplings to the Z. There is Z-photon
interference which leads to a F/B asymmetry. A
way to measure the Weinberg angle. gW measured
from muon decay.

P is an operator Classical gauge

19WW in ee- Collisions
Test of self-coupling of vector bosons. There are
s channel Z and photon diagrams, and t channel
neutrino exchange. Test of VVV couplings. In
COMPHEP play with the Breit-Wigner option as s
dependence of the cross section depends crucially
on the W width i.e. technique to measure W
width..
20Simpson Angular Dist
Cross section without neutrino exchange in the t
channel. Note divergent C.M. energy dependence
voilates unitarity.
21WW Cross Section at LEP
COMPHEP point shown. Proof that the WWZ triple
gauge boson coupling is needed and that there are
interfering amplitudes that themselves violate
initarity.
22WW? at LEP
Probe of quartic couplings. LEP data confirms
SM WWAA, WWZA
Cross section in COMPHEP with all final state
bosons having Pt gt 5 GeV is 0.36 pb
23ZZ at LEP
SM has only the single Feynman diagram. There are
no relevant triple or quartic couplings in the
SM. Use the data to set limits on couplings
beyond the SM.
24ee- Cross Sections
WW, ZZ, and WW? are seen at LEPII. At even higher
C.M. energies, WWZ and ZZZ are produced -
indicating triple and quartic V couplings. New
channels open up at the proposed ILC. Try a few
(red dots) processes yourself..

cosmological term
This is Landau-Ginzberg superconductivity much
too simple?
27How the W and Z get their Mass
- Covariant derivative contains gauge fields W,Z.
Suppose an additional scaler field ? exists and
has a vacuum expectation value. Quartic couplings
give mass to the W and Z, as required by the data
V(r) e(exp(-r/?)/r) - weak at large r,
strength e at small r.
28Numerical W, Z Mass Prediction
- The masses for the W and Z are specified by the
coupling constants. G comes from beta decays or
muon decay.
29Higgs Decays to Bosons
- Field excitations gt interactions with gauge
bosons VVH, VVHH, VVV, VVVV
Higgs couples to mass. Photons and gluons are
massless to preserve gauge symmetry unbroken.
Thus there is no direct gluon or photon coupling.
30ZZH Coupling and ILC Production
ILC at 500 GeV C.M. Higgs production by off shell
Z production followed by H radiation, Z -gtZH.
31Higgs Coupling to Fermions
- The fermions are left handed weak doublets and
right handed singlets. A mass term in the
Lagrangian, is
then not a weak singlet as is required. - A Higgs weak doublet is needed, with Yukawa
coupling,
Yukawa Mass from Dirac Lagrangian
density Fermion weak coupling constant
32Higgs Decay to Fermions
- The threshold factor is for P wave, ?2l1 since
scalar decay into fermion pairs occurs in P wave
due to the intrinsic parity of fermion pairs. - The Higgs is poorly coupled to normal (light)
matter - gt gW (mt/ MW)/?2 1.0, so top is strongly
coupled to the Higgs.
33The Higgs Decay Width
The Higgs decay width, ? scales as MH3. Thus at
low mass, the detector defines the effective
resonant width and hence the time needed to
discover a resonant enhancement. At high masses,
the weak interactions become strong and ??/M 1.
34Higgs Width - WW ZZ
Higgs decays to V V have widths ? M3 Try this
as a COMPHEP example
35Higgs Width Below ZZ Threshold
Below ZZ threshold, decays can occur in the tails
of the Breit Wigner Z resonance, with ? 2.5
GeV, M 91 GeV. This compares to the width to
the heaviest quark, b at a Higgs mass of 150
GeV. Means that WW is an LHC strategy.
36Early LHC Data Taking
- We have seen that the Higgs couples to mass.
Thus, the cross section for production from
gluons or u, d quarks is expected to be small. - Therefore, it is a good strategy to prepare for
LHC discoveries by establishing credibility. The
SM predictions , extrapolated from the Tevatron,
should first be validated by the LHC
experimenters.
37Vector Bosons and Forces
The 4 forces appear to be of much different
strength and range. We will see that this view is
largely a misperception.

41Rapidity Plateau - Jets
For ET small w.r.t sqrt(s) there is a rapidity
plateau at the Tevatron with ?y 2 at ET lt 100

42Parton and Hadron Dynamics
For large ET, or short distances, the impulse
approximation means that quantum effects can be
ignored. The proton can be treated as containing
partons defined by distribution functions. f(x)
is the probability distribution to find a parton
with momentum fraction x.

43The Underlying Event
The residual fragments of the pp resolve into
soft - PT 0.5 GeV pions with a density 5 per
unit of rapidity (Tevatron) and equal numbers of
??o?-. At higher PT, minijets become a
prominent feature
s dependence for PT lt 5 GeV is small

The very low PT fragments change to minijets -
jets at low PT which have mb cross sections at
10 GeV. The boundary between soft, log(s)
physics and hard scattering is not very
definite. Note log-log, which is not available in
COMPHEP must export the histogram
46The Distribution Functions
- Suppose there was very weak binding of the uud
valence quarks in the proton. - But quarks are bound, .
- Since the quark masses are small the system is
relativistic - valence quarks can radiate
gluons gt xg(x) constant. Gluons can decay
into pairs gt xs(x) constant. The distribution
is, in principle, calcuable but not
perturbatively. In practice measure in
lepton-proton scattering.
x 1/3, f(x) is a delta function
47Radiation - Soft and Collinear
?,k
The amplitude for radiation of a gluon of
momentum fraction z goes as 1/z. The radiated
gluon will be collinear - ? k gt ? 0.
Thus, radiated objects are soft and collinear.

In the proton, u and d quarks have largest
probability at large x. Gluons and sea

60DY Z Production F/B Asymmetry
CDF Run I
The Z couples to L and R quarks differently -gt
parity violating asymmetry in the photon-Z
interference.
61F/B Asymmetry
Coupling of leptons and quarks to Z specified in
SM by gauge principle.
Coupling to L and R fermions differs gt P
violation R-L coupling. Predict asymmetry , A

formation as 34 nb. The PT arises from ISR and
intrinsic parton transverse momentum and is only

67ZZ Production vs CM Energy
VV production also has a steep rise near
threshold. There is a 20 fold rise from the
Tevatron to the LHC. Measure VVV coupling. ZZ has
2 pb cross section at LHC.
Not much gain in using anti-protons once the
energy is high enough that the gluons or sea
quarks dominate.
68WWZ Quartic Coupling
Not accessible at Tevatron. Test quartic
couplings at the LHC.
69Jet-Jet Mass, 2 --gt 2
Expect 1/M3 behavior at low mass. When M/?s
becomes substantial, the source effects will be

77Parton--gtHadron Fragmentation
For light hadrons (pions) as hadronization
products, assume kT is limited (scale ?. The
fragmentation function, D(z) has a radiative

logarithmic in ET
Plateau widens with s, ltngtln(s)
78CDF Analysis Jet Multiplicity
Different Cone radii
Jet cluster multiplicity within a cone increases
with dijet mass as ln(M).
79Jet Transverse Shape
There is a leading fragment core localized at
small R w.r.t. the jet axis - 40 of the energy
for Rlt 0.1. 80 is contained in R lt 0.4 cone
80Jet Shape - Monte Carlo
Simple model with zD(z) (1-z)5 and ltktgt 0.72
GeV. Leading fragment with ltzmaxgt 0.24. On
average the leading fragment takes 1/4 of the
jet momentum. Fragmentation is soft and
non-perturbative.
81Low Mass LHC Rates
For small x and strong production, the cross
section is a large fraction of the inelastic
cross section. Therefore, the probability to find
a small Pt minijet in an LHC crossing is not
small.

The angular distribution at the parton level has

a large enough event sample. pp at 2 TeV with

87CDF Run II Data Reach
88Dijet Et Distribution Run I
As ?3 - ?4 increases MJJ increases and the
cross section decreases. The plateau width
decreases as ET increases (kinematic limit)
89Dijet Mass Distribution
Falls as 1/M3 due to parton scattering and (1-
M/?s)12 due to structure function source
distributions. Look for deviations at large M
(composite variations or resonant structure due
to excited quarks). Limits at Tevatron and LHC
will increase as C.M. energy.
90Initial, Final State Radiation
The initial state has no transverse momentum.
Thus a 2 body final state is back-to-back in
azimuth. Take the 2 highest Et jets in the 2 J or
more sample. At the higher Pt scales available at
the LHC ISR and FSR will become increasingly
important determined by the strong coupling
constant at that Pt scale.

Are the mass and the cross section consistent
with a quark with SM couplings?
105Run II Top Cross section
No evidence for deviation from SM coupling of a
heavy quark. At the LHC top pair events have
jets, heavy flavor, missing energy and leptons.
They thus serve as a sanity check that the
detector is working correctly in many final state
SM particles. The LHC experiments must establish
a top pair sample before contemplating, for
example, SUSY discoveries.
106DY and Lepton Composites
Drell-Yan Falls with the source function. For

main high mass feature. Above that mass there is
no SM signal, and searches for composite leptons

125Z --gt bb, Run I
Dijets with 2 decay vertices (b tags). Look for
calorimetric J-J mass distribution. Mass

practice for searches of J-J spectra such as Z
decays into di-jets, or H decays into b quark
pairs.
126Run II Mass Resolution
Using tracker information to replace distinct
energy deposit in the calorimetry for charged
particles with the tracker momentum which is
more precisely measured. Seems to gain 20.
This is quite hard at LHC we will use W-gtJJ in
top pair events.
127VV at Tevatron - W? from D0
The WW ? vertex as measured at Run II is
consistent with the SM, as it is at LEP

Tests the WWZ and WW ? vertex as at LEP - II
129WW Cross Section Measured at CDF
Extrapolate to LHC energy. COMPHEP gives a D-Y

be able to begin to explore W-W scattering
independent of Higgs searches.

131What is MH and How Do We Measure It?
- The Higgs mass is a free parameter in the current
Standard Model (SM). - Precision data taken on the Z resonance
constrains the Higgs mass. Mt 176 - 6 GeV, MW
80.41 - 0.09 GeV. Lowest order SM predicts
that MZ MW/cos?W.. Radiative corrections due to
loops. -
- Note the opposite signs of contributions to mass
from fermion and boson loops. Crucial for SUSY
and radiative stability.
