  2. Searching for the New SM • Can precision measurements and symmetry tests with neutrons make a significant contribution in the search for the “new Standard Model” ? • If so, how does this role complement new particle searches at the LHC or other precision tests? yes

  3. Outline Searching for the new SM: colliders & precision measurements EDMs & the Origin of Baryonic Matter Precision tests and “footprints” of the new Standard Model • Supersymmetry as an illustration • Not covered: nnbar oscillations, non- Newtonian gravity

  4. Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) & light element abundances • Weak interactions in stars & solar burning • Supernovae & neutron stars • Non-zero vacuum expectation value of neutral Higgs breaks electroweak sym and gives mass: Electroweak symmetry breaking: Higgs ? Electroweak symmetry breaking: Higgs ? Puzzles the Standard Model can’t solve Origin of matter Unification & gravity Weak scale stability Neutrinos • Where is the Higgs particle? • Is there more than one? Beyond the SM SM symmetry (broken) Fundamental Symmetries & Cosmic History What are the symmetries (forces) of the early universe beyond those of the SM?

  5. Two frontiers in the search for new physics Collider experiments (pp, e+e-, etc) at higher energies (E >> MZ) Indirect searches at lower energies (E < MZ) but high precision Large Hadron Collider Ultra cold neutrons CERN Particle, nuclear & atomic physics High energy physics New SM:Unique role for low energy studies in the LHC era (and beyond!)

  6. Electroweak symmetry breaking: Higgs ? ? Beyond the SM SM symmetry (broken) Precision Probes of New Symmetries New Symmetries Origin of Matter Unification & gravity Weak scale stability Neutrinos

  7. Probing Fundamental Symmetries beyond the SM: Use precision low-energy measurements to probe virtual effects of new symmetries & compare with collider results • Precision measurements predicted a range for mt before top quark discovery • mt >> mb ! • mt is consistent with that range • It didn’t have to be that way Radiative corrections Direct Measurements Stunning SM Success Comparison of Precision Measurements Probes Properties of Virtual Particles J.
