10-43 s
?
t < 10-43 s : The Big BangThe universe is considered to have expanded from a single point with an infinitely high energy density (infinite temperature). Is there a meaning to the question what existed before the big bang?
t ≈ 10-43 s, 1032 K (1019 GeV, 10-34 m) : Gravity “freezes” out All particle types (quarks, leptons, gauge bosons, and undiscovered particles e.g.Higgs, sparticles, gravitons) and their anti-particles are in a thermal equilibrium (being created and annihilated at equal rate). These coexist with photons (radiation).Through a phase transition gravity "froze" out and became distinct in its action from the weak, electromagnetic and strong forces. The other three forces could not be distinguished from one another in their action on quarks and leptons. This is the first instance of the breaking of symmetry amongst the forces.
Gravity separates as a force, the other forces remain as one (Grand Unification)
01.05.03v2 The story of the Universe
Grand unification era
7
10-35 s
t ≈ 10-35 s, 1027 K (1016 GeV, 10-32 m) : Inflation The rate of expansion increases exponentially for a short period. The universe doubled in size every 10-34 s. Inflation stopped at around 10-32 s. The universe increased in size by a factor of 1050. This is equivalent to an object the size of a proton swelling to 1019 light years across. The whole universe is estimated to have had a size of ~1023 m at the end of the period of inflation. However the presently visible universe was only 3 m in size after inflation. This solves the problems of ‘horizon’ (how is it possible for two opposing parts of the present universe to be at the same temperature when they cannot have interacted with each other before recombination) and ‘flatness’ (density of matter is close to the critical density).
t ≈ 10-32 s : Strong forces freezes outThrough another phase transition the strong force "freezes" out and a slight excess of matter over anti-matter develops. This excess, at a level of 1 part in a billion, is sufficient to give the presently observed predominance of matter over anti-matter. The temperature is too high for quarks to remain clumped to form neutrons or protons and so exist in the form of a quark gluon plasma. The LHC can study this by colliding together high energy nuclei.
Inflation ceases, expansion continues Grand Unification breaks. Strong and electroweak
forces become distinguishable
01.05.03v2 The story of the Universe
Electroweak era
8
10-10 s
t ≈ 10-10 s, 1015 K (100 GeV, 10-18 m) : Electromagnetic and Weak Forces separate The energy density corresponds to that at LEP. As the temperature fell the weak force "freezes" out and all four forces become distinct in their actions. The antiquarks annihilate with the quarks leaving a residual excess of matter. W and Z bosons decay. In general unstable massive particles disappear when the temperture falls to a value at which photons from the black-body radiation do not have sufficient energy to create a particle-antiparticle pair.
Electroweak force splits

Protons and neutrons form
9
10-4 s
t ≈ 10-4 s, 1013 K (1 GeV, 10-16 m) : Protons and Neutrons form The universe has grown to the size of our solar system. As the temperature drops quark-antiquark annihilation stops and the remaining quarks combine to make protons and neutrons.
t = 1 s, 1010 K (1 MeV, 10-15 m) : Neutrinos decouple The neutrinos become inactive (essentially do not participate further in interactions). The electrons and positrons annihilate and are not recreated. An excess of electrons is left. The neutron-proton ratio shifts from 50:50 to 25:75.
Quarks combine to make protons and neutrons
01.05.03v2 The story of the Universe
Nuclei are formed
10
100 s
t = 3 minutes, 109 K (0.1 MeV, 10-12 m) : Nuclei are formed The temperature is low enough to allow nuclei to be formed. Conditions are similar to those that exist in stars today or in thermonuclear bombs. Heavier nuclei such as deuterium, helium and lithium soak up the neutrons that are present. Any remaining neutrons decay with a time constant of ~ 1000 seconds. The neutron-proton ratio is now 13:87. The bulk constitution of the universe is now in place consisting essentially of protons (75%) and helium nuclei. The temperature is still too high to form any atoms and electrons form a gas of free particles.
Protons and neutrons combine to form helium nuclei
01.05.03v2 The story of the Universe 11
Atoms and light era300000 years
t = 300 000 years, 6000 K (0.5 eV, 10-10 m) : Atoms are created Electrons begin to stick to nuclei. Atoms of hydrogen, helium and lithium are created. Radiation is no longer energetic enough to break atoms. The universe becomes transparent. Matter density dominates. Astronomy can study the evolution of the Universe back to this time.
The Universe becomes transparent and fills with light
01.05.03v2 The story of the Universe 12
Galaxy formation1000 million years
t = 109 years, 18 K : Galaxy Formation Local mass density fluctuations act as seeds for stellar and galaxy formation. The exact mechanism is still not understood. Nucleosynthesis, synthesis of heavier nuclei such as carbon up to iron, starts occurring in the thermonuclear reactors that are stars. Even heavier elements are synthesized and dispersed in the brief moment during which stellar collapse and supernovae explosions occur.
Galaxies begin to form
01.05.03v2 The story of the Universe 13
Today15000 million years
t = 15 x 109 years, 3 K : Humans The present day. Chemical processes have linked atoms to form molecules. From the dust of stars and through coded messages (DNA) humans emerge to observe the universe around them.

CMS is a general purpose proton-proton detector designed to run at
the highest luminosity at the LHC. It is also well adapted for studies at
the initially lower luminosities. The main design goals of CMS are:
1) a highly performant muon system
2) the best possible electromagnetic calorimeter
3) a high quality central tracking
4) a hermetic hadron calorimeter

The Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics has unified the electromagnetic interaction (carrier: γ) and the weak interaction (carriers: W+, W-, Z0). Yet these four bosons are very different: the γ is massless whereas the W± and Z0 are quite massive (80 and 90 GeV respectively). In the framework of the SM particles acquire mass through their interaction with the Higgs field. This implies the existence of a new particle: the Higgs boson H0. The theory only provides a general upper mass limit of about 1 TeV, but it does predict its production rate and decay modes for each possible mass. CMS has been optimized to discover the Higgs up to a mass of 1 TeV. Examples of decay modes are:

The strength of the four known forces (electromagnetic, weak, strong and gravity) does not depend on whether the particles that experience them are made of matter or antimatter. Yet, the universe we live in is completely dominated by matter. How did the universe evolve into this very asymmetric state when the underlying forces do not know the difference between matter and antimatter? A clue into this question may be provided by the phenomenon of Charge-Parity (CP) violation, discovered over three decades ago in decays of neutral kaons (K0); these are mesons containing a strange (s) quark.
CP violation implies that there is a small difference in the decay rates of K0 and K0 mesons. One possible explanation is that there exists yet another, undiscovered, force in nature, that is not matter-antimatter symmetric. Another, more popular explanation is that the weak interaction, through which kaons decay, can actually distinguish between matter and antimatter particles. If this is true, one should be able to observe a large asymmetry in the decay rates of matter vs antimatter mesons that are made of quarks heavier than the s. The best candidate is the b quark which forms B mesons.

presents a very clean experimental signature. The particle content (B0

Supersymmetry (SUSY) postulates a relationship between matter particles (spin-1/2 or "fermions") and force carriers (integer spin or "bosons") which is not present in the Standard Model (SM). In SUSY, each fermion has a "superpartner" of spin-0 while each boson has a spin-1/2 superpartner. The Higgs sector is also extended to at least five Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). To this day, no superpartners have been observed: SUSY must be a broken symmetry, i.e. the superpartners (sparticles) must have masses different than those of their partner particles. Despite the doubling of the spectrum of particles, SUSY has many merits: it is elegant; assuming the existence of superpartners with TeV-scale masses, the Strong, Weak and Electromagnetic force strengths become equal at the same energy of ~ 1016 GeV (the "GUT scale"); it also provides a natural explanation of why the Higgs mass can be low (< 1 TeV). In SUSY theories, there is even room for explaining the dark matter in the Universe as "neutralinos" (the lightest SUSY particles LSP). If SUSY is a true symmetry of Nature and it is realized at the TeV scale, it will almost certainly be discovered in CMS

In total CMS will have 15,000,000 individual detector channels, all of which will be controlled by powerful computers. These will synchronize the detector with the LHC accelerator, making sure that CMS is ready to record any interesting collisions.
CMS
At the LHC, bunches of protons will pass through each other 40 million times a second, and with each bunch crossing, 20 protons-proton collisions will occur on average, making 800 million collisions per second. Not all of these will produce interesting results. Most of the time, protons will just graze past each other. Head-on collisions will be quite rare, and the processes which produce new particles rarer still. The Higgs boson, for example, is expected to appear in just one of every 1013 (10,000,000,000,000) collisions. That means that even with 800 million collisions a second, a Higgs boson would only appear about once every day. Needles in haystacks seem like child’s play in comparison.
