3 About Me
4 About me M. Hance 4 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 I went to high school in Connecticut, and then undergrad at Boston University. Majored in Physics and Math Research with the Intermediate Energy Group (physics) Worked on scintillators and electronics for a muon-lifetime experiment Great introduction to real research Travel to Switzerland for a few weeks over the summer Most useful things I did in college: 1 Took two semesters of intro CS (programming) 2 Found mentors early 3 Found a research project that I could continue for several semesters 4 Had fun!
5 About me Graduate School at UPenn Two years of courses Research during the summers (and part-time in the second year) Full-time research after second year This varies among universities and research topics I moved to CERN for three years after classes Will mention some of the things I worked on later Back to the US to finish my dissertation Post-doc at LBL Very similar to grad school, but with a little more autonomy and responsibility Typically lasts for 2-5 years in HEP M.

7 Some Useful Terms M. Hance 7 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 Some terms that will be useful today: Cross section: rate at which a given subatomic interaction occurs, abbrev. σ barn: a measure of cross section, abbrev. b 1b = 28 m 2, 1 pb = 34 m 2 Large cross section something that happens often (nb-pb) Small cross section rare process (fb) Luminosity: the rate at which particles collide in an accelerator Expressed in units of 1/barns, e.g. 00 pb 1 = 1 fb 1 Integrated luminosity: a measure of the amount of collisions recorded, abbrev. Ldt electron Volt: a unit of energy, abbrev. ev E = mc 2, so is also a unit of mass (GeV/c 2 ) or momentum (GeV/c) 1 proton has mass of roughly 1 GeV/c 2 Planck Mass: what combination of fundamental constants (, c, G) gives units of mass? m P = c G = kg = GeV/c 2
8 Atoms are... big 1 angstrom = 0 pm Usually a stable system Nucleons bound together Mass n kg = n GeV/c 2 Foundations of chemistry M. Hance 8 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013

11 M. Hance 11 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 Discovering the Standard Model We ve found all the pieces of the Standard Model... except perhaps one: Gluon observed in late 70 s W and Z bosons first observed in 1980 s All flavors of quarks and leptons have been found (last was t-quark in 1995) No signs of the Higgs until recently

13 Finding Heavy Particles M. Hance 13 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 One way to find heavy particles is to look for mass resonances. E = mc 2 is only really true for particles at rest E 2 = m 2 0 c4 + p 2 c 2 in special relativity Z 0 µ + µ m Z = E 2 Z ( p Z c) 2 /c 2 Let c = 1 m Z = (Eµ + + E µ ) 2 p µ + + p µ 2
14 Finding Heavy Particles One way to find heavy particles is to look for mass resonances. E = mc 2 is only really true for particles at rest E 2 = m 2 0 c4 + p 2 c 2 in special relativity Z 0 µ + µ m Z = E 2 Z ( p Z c) 2 /c 2 Let c = 1 m Z = (Eµ + + E µ ) 2 p µ + + p µ 2 So, by measuring muon properties, we can reconstruct the Z-boson mass and momentum Conservation of momentum Basis for many, many analyses m µµ [GeV] M. Hance 13 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 Events / 1 GeV 1600 ATLAS Data 20 ( Z µµ QCD s = 7 TeV) L dt = 33 pb
15 Jets M. Hance 14 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 Quarks and gluons don t land in the detector intact they fragment almost immediately Strong force prevents us from seeing bare partons Many things produce jets: Can be partons bouncing off of each other 70% of W- and Z-bosons decay into jets Easy to find jets, hard to measure their energies.
16 How do we look for the Higgs? M. Hance 15 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 Finding the Higgs is tricky! Trade-off between most common decays (lots of background) and rare decays (smaller backgrounds)
17 How do we look for the Higgs? M. Hance 16 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 χ LEP 95% CL LHC 95% CL Tevatron 95% CL G fitter SM May 12 3σ Theory uncertainty 2σ 1σ [GeV] M H
18 What can t the Standard Model do? M. Hance 17 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 Assuming we find the Higgs, the Standard Model will be complete. Then what? Why is gravity so weak at short distances? How does gravity behave at the quantum level? Black holes Big bang What is dark energy? What is dark matter? Why is the Higgs mass so light compared to the Planck mass? Need new theories to explain what happened at the Big Bang to produce the universe we see today. Supersymmetry (SUSY)? (Large) Extra Dimensions? Something completely unexpected?
19 Supersymmetry M. Hance 18 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013
20 Extra Dimensions M. Hance 19 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 New dimensions could be very small, but still big enough to change how particles behave Look for extra dimensions via missing energy New particles carry energy into bulk Very distinct events!

24 The LHC Magnets The LHC machine is a 17-mile ring of magnets: Uses superconducting NbTi wires to create dipole fields Superconductivity needs cold temperatures 0 tons of liquid helium at 1.9 Kelvin Fields of up to 8.3 T M. Hance 23 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013
25 The LHC in Numbers M. Hance 24 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 For the 2012 run, some stats on the accelerator: 8 TeV collisions Bunches of protons colliding at 40 MHz 20 fb 1 of data per experiment O(0) petabytes of data stored After the current shutdown: 14 TeV collisions 3000 fb 1 of data per experiment by 2030 Four main experiments: ATLAS - multipurpose experiment, 3000 collaborators CMS - multipurpose, 3000 collaborators ALICE - heavy ion physics, 1200 collaborators LHCb - bottom-quark physics, 620 collaborators

30 How do we do science at the LHC? M. Hance 29 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 Two general types of investigations: Measurements of known quantities e.g. mass of top quark, Z-boson cross section, etc. Limit uncertainty on measurement as much as possible
31 How do we do science at the LHC? M. Hance 29 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 Two general types of investigations: Measurements of known quantities e.g. mass of top quark, Z-boson cross section, etc. Limit uncertainty on measurement as much as possible Searches for unobserved phenomena Looking for SUSY or extra dimensions Can focus on a specific model (SUSY) or signature (events with two muons) Two possible outcomes: We discover new physics! We only see what the Standard Model predicts, so we can infer the absence of new physics Both are critical components of the overall physics program at the LHC!
32 M. Hance 30 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 Simulation For either measurements or searches, rely a lot on simulation. Rather than building multiple LHC s and detectors in the real world, use computers to model them We can then inject fake events into our simulated detector to see how it responds
33 Computing M. Hance 31 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 It takes a lot of computers to handle 0 PB! Computing farms all over the world Lots of different technologies at work: Most computers run Linux (Windows and IOS are for phones) Data analysis: programming languages like C++ and python Information management: making data easily available to many people, security issues, data privacy Low-level hardare: getting computers to talk with custom detector components
34 So, what have we found?

36 What about the Higgs? M. Hance 34 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013 Look for Higgs in all possible decays Roughly 45 Higgs bosons produced in each pb 1 of data Can t afford to waste any of them! Most popular decay is bb difficult! b s show up as jets, there are a lot of those, and it s hard to measure their energies Then WW, ττ, and ZZ also hard Most of the time, these particles also produce jets! γγ is last, but promising

50 Conclusions We re in a golden age of high energy physics! We see a Higgs consistent with the Standard Model... but we know nature must have more in store for us! What is it? So far, no signs of anything new at the LHC But there s a lot more data to be taken at higher energies Plenty of time to see new physics! M. Hance 46 / 46 Particle Physics at the LHC- July 11, 2013
