Shortcomings of the Standard Model

SM is only low energy approximation,In a fundamental theory all interactions should be unifiedGUT + gravity

What is the origin of mass,Introduction of Higgs boson runs into problems.

Cosmological problems

21 parameters – too many!Why three generations ?Why |Qel| = |Qp| ?...

Motivation for Supersymmetry

• Coleman-Mandula theorem • Unification of the forces • Solution of the Hierarchy problem • Candidates for dark matter • Necessary for quantum-gravity

Coleman-Mandula Theorem

„In a theory with non-trivial scattering in more than 1+1 dimensions, the only possible conserved quantities that transform as tensors under the Lorentz group are the generators of the Poincare group and scalar quantum numbers.“

SUSY is the only possibel extension of the Poincare group.

Our last chance to discover a fundamental space-time symmetry!

Tensors fulfill comutation relationsAdd anti-commutators

Graded Lie-algebras„super algebra“

P: Energy-momentum operatorQ: Supercharge

Unification of the Forces

Renormalisation Group Equations describe running of the coupling constants due to screening / antiscreening

SM MSSM

Example:

Slope depends on number and masses of particlesin the model

Miracle!

Solution of the Hierarchy ProblemCorrections to the Higgs mass:

Contributions of particles arecanceled by contribution of theirsuperpartners.

Cancelation requires fine tuning to 17 orders of magnitude!

For unbroken SUSY: No quantum correction to the Higgs mass (mH=0).

Broken SUSY: “running” Higgs mass

superpartners have to be lighter than 1 TeV

SUSY exact

No SUSY

SUSY Higgs sectorvery restricted:

mh < 150 GeV Q2

Basic Facts about SUSY

Symmetry between fermions and bosons

Q|boson> = |fermion> Q+|fermion> = |boson>

No superpartners with same masses are observed.SUSY is a borken symmetry.

Spontaneous SUSY breaking in SM sector not possiblesupertrace theorem sum rules between particle andsparticle masses, e.g.: excluded!

Hidden sector models

Supermultiplets

Chiral supermultiplets: (fermion,sfermion) = (spin ½, spin 0)

Vectorial supermultiplet: (gauge boson, gauginos) = (spin 1, spin ½)

Sparticles of the MSSM

Neutral gauginos mix to form four neutralinos.

Charged gauginos mix to form two charginos.

M depends on M2, tan() and . BRs of 0 and

Parameters of the MSSM

• mA : pseudoscalar Higgs boson mass

• tan() : ratio of VEV of two Higgs doublets

• : Higgs mixing parameter

• M1, M2, M3 : gaugino mass terms

• All sfermion masses

• Ai: all mixing parameters of squark and slepton sector

minimal SUperGRavity (mSUGRA)

Parameter: m0, m1/2, A0, tan(), sign()

• Unified masses at the GUT scale m0: common scalar mass m1/2: common gaugino mass

• Unified trilinear couplings = A0

• Radiative EW symmetry breaking

Constraints:

M(G~) 1 TeV (in AMSB 10 TeV)

Gauge Mediated SUSY Breaking (GMSB)

Possible NLSPs: neutralino, stau

LSP (in not-yet excluded parameter space) is always gravitino

Distinct event signature: photon/tau + missing energy

Gravitino might be candidate for dark mattereven in RPV models.

Gravitino can be very light:

Parameter: , sqrt(F), Mmess, N, tan(), sign()

Very predictive mass spectrum, easy to distinguish from SUGRA.

Typical Mass Spectra

Neutralino1 is light(est)Next: right-handed slepton (stau) & chargino1

Squarks are relatively heavy

R-parity

Multiplicative discrete symmetry: RP=(-1)3B+L+2S+1 for SM particles -1 for sparticles

Most general Lagrangian contains additional trilinear terms in superpotential which violate RP:

HERA is the ideal place to look for ‘ !

(Proton decay only if ‘ and ‘‘ are 0 at the same time.)

RPC: sparticles pair-produced, LSP stable

Sparticle Creation at HERA

Systematic approach needed to filter all interesting channels.

Particles are produced on-shell (same for all SUSY models).Decay depends on sparticle spectra of SUSY model.

Gravitino Analysis

Discriminant Method

Box size

All events get classified.Less statistics needed.Faster calculation.More accurate results.Generally better S/B seperation.

Improvement: variable box size

Multidimensional cuts generallyresult in a better S/B ratio, than one dimensional cuts.

Future: LHC and ILC

Future Prospects - LHC

SUSY gauge couplings are the same as in SM.Cross sections only surpressed by mass terms.At high energies production rates should be similar to SM!

Discovery is no problem. (reonstruct Meff)

SUSY signal and SM bkg. for tt- decay (m0=1TeV, m1/2=500 GeV)

SUSY at LHC

Complicated decay channels: g~ -> q~q -> qq -> l~lqq -> llqq

Problem is to seperate different SUSY channels.

LHC 5 discovery curves

Future Prospects - ILCHigher luminosity at similar energy

Precision measurements of SUSY parameters!

Future

Summary

• SUSY is a very interesting and promising theory.

• It is challenging, but there are SUSY channels were HERA is favoured compared to LEP and the Tevatron.

• If we do not find it before, then the LHC will give the final answer: Be prepared to discover a new world !
