Physics at the LHC
“There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.” Donald Rumsfeld

Standard ModelThe Standard Model unifies the strong,
weak, and electromagnetic interactions in the sense that they all arise from a local symmetry principle Local gauge invariance A minor problem is that the symmetries of
the Standard Model do not allow for massive gauge bosons
There are no experimental contradictions to the predictions of the Standard Model, which is complete in that its mathematical structure allows calculations to be carried out Tested to a high precision (1 part in 1000)

Standard ModelLocal gauge invariance
We first ask is the theory (L) invariant under global gauge transformations?
We next ask is the theory (L) invariant under local gauge transformations?

Standard ModelWe can make the theory locally gauge
invariant by introducing a gauge covariant derivative that includes a gauge field
Now our Lagrangian does remain invariant under local gauge transformations Using this derivative leads directly to QED! And tells us that the photon is massless!

Standard Model
We could apply the same idea to the weak interaction Lagrangian (SU(2)) We’d find the need for three gauge
covariant derivatives containing three gauge bosons
We’d like to identify them as the W+, W-, and Z except they too are massless

Standard ModelSpontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB)
occurs when a Lagrangian is invariant under some symmetry but the ground state (vacuum) is not Pencil falling
Heisenberg ferromagnet
2008 Nobel Prize to Nambu for discovering SSB

Standard ModelHiggs mechanism
We have SSB when a Lagrangian is invariant under some symmetry but the ground state (vacuum) is not
If the broken symmetry is a continuous symmetry, then there necessarily exists one or more massless spin 0 particles (Goldstone bosons)
If the broken symmetry is a local gauge symmetry, then the Goldstone bosons get absorbed (eaten) by the massless gauge bosons thereby acquiring mass

Standard ModelConsider a charged self-interacting
complex scalar field (the Higgs field) Require the Lagrangian to be locally gauge
invariant
For 2 > 0 we have QED of charged scalars For 2 < 0 we have SSB and a continuum of
degenerate vacuum states

Standard Model Successes
There are no experimental discrepancies with Standard Model predictions
But no Higgs boson observation either

Standard Model Parameters
On the other hand, the Standard Model does contain a lot of parameters
![Page 24: Smashing the Standard Model: Physics at the CERN LHC Kenneth Johns University of Arizona.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649d4e5503460f94a2d109/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

The basic constituents of matter are the 6 quarks and the 6 leptons, and the 4 carriers of the fundamental forces. The three quark and lepton generations have very similar properties.
All the particles we know of (protons, neutrons, nuclei, atoms are made from these simple building blocks.
As far as we know, there are no smaller units than quarks and leptons.

Interactions arise from Fields (classical field theory) Exchanged quanta (quantum field
theory)

So what is this thing called the Standard Model we are trying to smash – and why
Let’s start with the fundamental particles and their interactions
You’ve seen this many times so I won’t linger here

One of the goals of physics is to understand the common elements of these forces and particles
Perhaps they can be unified in the sense that electricity and magnetism are unified as electromagnetism
And in fact, in the 1960’s it was shown that the electromagnetic force and weak force had a common origin
