The mechanism for generating masses

We will try to understand:

The physics behind the scale of W, Z boson mass scale ~ electroweak scale

The origin of dark matter

Do we have any further evidence of grand unification?

Is there any particle physics connection?

SM problems and solutionsSM problems and solutionsThe Standard Model :•

Cannot provide a dark matter candidate.

Has a serious Higgs mass divergence problem due to quantum correction.

Cannot accommodate masses for neutrinos.

Cannot provide enough matter- antimatter asymmetry.

• Standard Model has fallen!

Solves the Higgs mass problem in a very elegant way.

Supersymmetric grand unified models include neutrinos!

Can produce correct matter- antimatter asymmtery

• Can provide Inflation

• Can provide new sources of CP violation, e.g., Bs ψ φ

Supersymmetry

:Provides a candidate for dark matter ~ neutralino.

The best strategy:

Solve for the minimal model: mSUGRA4 parameters: m0, m1/2, A0, tanβ and Sign(μ)

The cascades can be understood in a simpler way [hopefully!]

Next step:Next to minimal model (Higgs nonuniversality)Then …

We can use simpler models to understand the cascades and solve for the model parameters

Calculate the Dark Matter content

cm3/s annihilation cross-section around the freeze-out time

Model independent analysis shows: B ~ 10 (ee) -103(tt)Source of Boost: Astrophysics, particle physics

MSSM is further suppressed since the annihilation cross-section mostly is p-wave suppressed

Non-thermal scenario can explain PAMELA anti proton/positron data

MSSM needs to be extended, e.g., with a U(1)_B-L

SM of particle physics has fallen.Supersymmetry seems to be natural in the rescue act and the dark matter content of the universe can be explained in this theory.

The SUGRA model is consistent with the existing experimental results.

[1] LHC can probe the minimal SUGRA, non-

universal SUGRA model directly.All the dark matter allowed regions can be probed at the LHC

The dark matter content can be measured with a good accuracy

This accuracy depends on the final states

[2] This analysis can be applied to any SUSY model

Conclusion…[3] Direct detection experiments will simultaneously

confirm the existence of these models.

[4] Indirect detection experiments will also confirm

the existence of SUSY models

[5] Very exciting time ahead…
