  2. Outline • Possible scenarios of EWSB • Little Higgs Model • Chiral Lagrangian model • Performance studies on boson scattering • Summary

  3. Electroweak Symmetry Breaking (EWSB) Extended Gauge Symmetry Little Higgs, Higgsless, Left-Right Symmetric Model Higgs-Gauge Unification J.Lykken, Physics at LHC (Vienna) SUSY (m)SUGRA GMSB AMSB Mirage Split SUSY RPV … Extra-Dimension LED(ADD) Randall-Sundrum Universal ED(KK) … Precision EW data Dynamical Symmetry Breaking Strong EWSB, Chiral Lagrangian, Technicolor, Composite Higgs, Top-quark Condensation Exotics: Compositeness, Lepto-quarks, Monopole …

  4. EWSB possible scenarios • ElectroWeak Symmetry Breaking (EWSB): • ElectroWeak Gauge symmetry requires gauge boson and matter particles to be massless. The mechanism to give them mass: Standard theory of EWSB by scalar Higgs field • Renormalization scheme predicts coupling constants of Strong and EW force become same value near  =1016 GeV: Suggest GUTs of SU(3)C SU(2)L U(1)Y forces • Higgs radiative correction mass2 has a quadratic term of cutoff parameter. Hierarchy problem in GUTs. • If Higgs hierarchy problem: fine tuning in rad corr to Higgs masssolution: new physics at TeV scale (SUSY, Little Higgs, etc…) • If NO Higgssolution: dynamical symmetry breaking (Technicolor, Chiral Lagrangian etc…) • Unitarity violation in longitudinal WW scattering at high Esolution: Higgs boson or other new particle with mass < 1 TeV

  5. Little Higgs Model • Evaluate the sensitivity to the Little Higgs models with the ATLAS experiment • at the LHC • Little Higgs Models proposed as a solution to the Hierarchy problem • Loop corrections to the Higgs Mass: L is an ultra-violet cut-off • Models try to arrange new particles to cancel these effects • Little Higgs models add a minimal set of particles (and a symmetry) to cancel these • corrections up to L>10TeV • Some discussion on T-parity of heavy top and bosons. Require pair production. To suppress the quadratic divergence the mass of MT and MW should not be too large

  6. Little Higgs: heavy top search • Production: via QCD(gg  T Tbar,qq  T Tbar)via W exchange (qb  q’ T) dominant for MT > 700 GeV • Decays: T  t Z, T  t h, T  b W • cleanest is T  t Z  b l  l+ l-but small statistics, main bkg is tbZ5 signal up to ~1.0-1.4 TeV • T  t h  b l n b bbar < 5s • T  b W  b l main bkg is t tbar5 signal up to ~2.0-2.5 TeV SN-ATLAS-2004-038 M = 1 TeV 300 fb-1 bkg

  7. Little Higgs: heavy bosons SN-ATLAS-2004-038 300 fb-1 • AH, WH and ZH discovery in lepton modesup to M ~ 6 TeV (depending on param cot q) • Discrimination against other modelspredicting dilepton resonances via observation of decay modeslike WH W h, ZH  Z h, and WH  t b (important at cot q ≈ 1) 5s discovery ATL-PHYS-PUB-2006-003 300 fb-1 M = 1 TeV cot  = 1 30 fb-1 WH  t b observation up to ~3 TeV

  8. Symmetry Breaking by Chiral Lagrangian Model • SM cross section for Wlong Wlong scattering diverges at high energy if there is no Higgs  new physics via diboson resonances? • Chiral Lagrangian Model • Describes the low energy effects of different strongly interacting models of the EWSB sector. • The differences among underlying theories appear through the values of the effective chiral couplings. • The analytical complete form can be found in Dobado et al., Phys.Rev.D62,055011, but terms of major importance are: • Different choices for the magnitude and the sign of a4 and a5 would correspond to • different choices for the underlying (unknown) theory.

  9. Performance studies on boson scattering • WLWL with no resonances (Continuum) by J.M. Butterworth, P. Sherwood, S. Stefanidis. • WLWL with resonances by S.E. Allwood, J.M. Butterworth, B.E. Cox. • WLZL with resonances by G. Azuelos, P-A. Delsart, J. Id´arraga, A. Myagkov. • PYTHIA has been modified to include the EWChL and to produce the resonances for different parameters. • Detector response was studied using Athena computing environment of both fast and full simulators.

  10. WW Boson Scattering

  11. WW BosonScattering Event Selection Backgrounds: W+jets (W  l), σ~60,000 fb, and , σ~16,000 fb ttbar (cf signal σ<100 fb). • high pT lepton • high ETmiss • Jet(s) with high pT and m ~ mW. • Little hadronic activity in the central region (|η|<2.5) apart from the hadronic W. • Tag jets at large η (|η|>2). high pT W

  12. Resonant WW Boson Scattering preliminary

  13. Resonant WZ Boson Scattering q’1 q1 W W Z Z q2 q2 • choose parameters of a4 and a5 such that new resonance M = 1.15 TeV • qq  qqWZ  qq ln ll (s x BR= 1.3 fb) • qq  qqWZ  qq jj ll (s x BR= 4.1 fb) • qq  qqWZ  qq ln jj (s x BR= 14 fb) Lq.Ar FCAL h<4.9

  14. Resonant WZ Boson Scattering • Selection for qqjjll: 2 forward jets + central 2jets and 2 leptons Require no additional central jet • Bkg: gluon and g/Z exchange with W and Z radiation also t tbar & W+4 jets (need more stats) • Experimental issues: • Merging of jets from high-pTW or Z decay (need cone DR = 0.2) • Impact of pileup on forwardjet tagging? • Promising sensitivity for jet modes at 100 fb-1(need 300 fb-1 for WZ  lnll) study is ongoing SMbg ATL-COM-PHYS-2006-041 100 fb-1 W Z  jj ll

  15. Summary • Many scenarios for EWSB being studied. • Heavy Top is reachable. WH  t b hadronic decay channel can be used to discriminate the Little Higgs model from other models. • WZ boson scattering is studied extensively. Promising mode to test the dynamical symmetry breaking and various models including higgsless model. • Atlas can explore the parameter space of Chiral Lagrangian model by WW scattering with 30 fb-1 data.
