1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:05,340
Okay. Good afternoon, everybody. So welcome to this week's colloquium.

2
00:00:05,850 --> 00:00:12,150
And it's a great pleasure today to introduce Daniela, both Neto, who's going to talk to us about the Higgs boson.

3
00:00:12,420 --> 00:00:19,330
Now, Daniela did an undergraduate degree in Pavia, and then she moved to the United States as a graduate student in Syracuse.

4
00:00:20,430 --> 00:00:29,249
And that started a long, long and successful career, firstly doing physics on a number of different experiments,

5
00:00:29,250 --> 00:00:32,670
and then more recently in pursuit of the Higgs boson,

6
00:00:33,450 --> 00:00:38,370
culminating, of course, in being a member of an important member of the CMS collaboration,

7
00:00:38,970 --> 00:00:42,600
which actually discovered the Higgs boson a couple of years ago, years ago.

8
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,780
So so and one of the effects of particle physics over the over that time is, of course,

9
00:00:48,780 --> 00:00:54,570
that the centre of gravity for experimental energy, frontier particle physics has very definitely moved to third.

10
00:00:55,110 --> 00:01:01,680
And so for a long time, Daniela was in Purdue, which, as you all know, is quite a long way from CERN.

11
00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:05,700
And we were extremely, extremely fortunate to observe is a great deal closer.

12
00:01:06,690 --> 00:01:11,940
And so we were able to induce her to move here in 2013.

13
00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:17,680
So it's it's a very great pleasure to have her today to to talk to us.

14
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,510
And without further ado, I'll hand over. Talk to us about Higgs boson.

15
00:01:22,470 --> 00:01:28,310
Okay. Okay.

16
00:01:29,060 --> 00:01:35,870
I want to talk to you today about the Higgs, the LHC, its status and its plans for the future.

17
00:01:36,530 --> 00:01:42,020
And the story of the Higgs actually starting in the sixties with this paper from

18
00:01:42,380 --> 00:01:47,900
a variety of people and low browed Higgs and key book surrounding and Eggen.

19
00:01:48,530 --> 00:01:54,350
And if you look at the phenomenology of the Higgs, when we started,

20
00:01:54,620 --> 00:02:06,470
we were we had this paper in 1975 from Alice Gaillard in Annapolis, in which our Fenomeno just told us, you know, the Higgs actually,

21
00:02:06,620 --> 00:02:09,830
you know, we were looking at the Higgs of the movie level,

22
00:02:10,250 --> 00:02:21,140
and the phenomenology told us that they were not very sure about escaping to other particle particles, except that they were probably all very small.

23
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,660
And for this reason, we do not want to encourage because the search searches for the Higgs boson.

24
00:02:27,380 --> 00:02:34,790
But we do feel that people performing experiments vulnerable to the Higgs boson should know how it may turn up.

25
00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:45,830
So as you can see, we didn't listen at all to this advise and we went to a very big experiment us and the conclusion of this search,

26
00:02:46,220 --> 00:02:52,370
in a sense was a culmination, I would say not a conclusion was in 2012,

27
00:02:52,370 --> 00:03:00,770
on July the fourth, 2012, in the auditorium at CERN, where people were crying, people were smiling,

28
00:03:01,010 --> 00:03:08,540
and it was a great triumph of theoretical and expanding meant of particle physics that took a long time.

29
00:03:09,020 --> 00:03:18,260
And again, as you know, we did the cover of Physics Let US Be I'm told from the years that when they published this paper,

30
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:22,740
the ranking of Xavier went by a factor of two to a factor of six.

31
00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:27,230
They tripled the the effect of of observer, the impact factor.

32
00:03:27,590 --> 00:03:32,030
And and then we were also, you know, you know, the breakthrough of the year.

33
00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:40,310
And and, of course, again, another major achievement was a Nobel Prize to England, an exam in 2007.

34
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,049
So what I'm telling you today, you know, first of all, you know,

35
00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:51,770
I want to talk to you about the LHC and the experiment, the standard model and the Higgs.

36
00:03:52,430 --> 00:03:58,310
And I would like to give you the almost final results on the first round of the LHC.

37
00:03:58,990 --> 00:04:07,550
This round started in 2010 and ended in February of 2013, you know, two years ago.

38
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,759
The machine then is gone through a lot of refurbishing so that we can operate at higher energy.

39
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,239
I will speak a little bit about that, but the results are still coming up.

40
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,780
But, you know, it takes time to get to the final results.

41
00:04:21,290 --> 00:04:31,010
And and we are still sort of waiting for the combination of some of the result that is going to come from Atlas and CMS, and they will come up soon.

42
00:04:31,580 --> 00:04:38,240
And also, I would like to finish with what we expect for round two and from the I luminosity LHC.

43
00:04:38,810 --> 00:04:40,820
So here is a picture of the standard model.

44
00:04:40,820 --> 00:04:48,469
So you have quarks and the lap dances at this being one off particles and you have bosons that are spin one vector,

45
00:04:48,470 --> 00:04:54,140
both of which are exchanging the forces. And then you have the Higgs that is a spin zero particle.

46
00:04:55,100 --> 00:05:01,430
So again, the first family of quarks and leptons makes up everything that we see around now.

47
00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:11,389
And now as this that of families, you can find, you know, elements that are particles that are found in cosmic rain.

48
00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:16,160
And we can produce them in accelerators. And we think that they exist, you know, in the universe.

49
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:24,020
At universe, just that there's a big bang. And then we have also the force is electromagnetic interaction, which is mediated by the photon.

50
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,470
We have the gluons that mediate the strong interaction,

51
00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:36,010
and we have the W and Z bosons that mediate the weak interaction which is responsible of radioactive decay of atoms.

52
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:44,060
And then we had the Higgs, which is a little bit, you know, the foundation really say the structure that all together as a standard model,

53
00:05:44,090 --> 00:05:55,190
okay we have the reach Z structure, which is if you want, is a table of element of of particle physics.

54
00:05:55,550 --> 00:06:02,030
We have a lot of accelerators that have operated over, you know, in the last 100 years, let's say.

55
00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:05,610
And the first accelerator was in 1929.

56
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:11,120
You can see Lawrence here holding in its hand an 80 KV accelerator.

57
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:23,810
So accelerator were very small at that time. Here you can see CERN in 1954 when they were sort of holding current 18 at the first accelerator at CERN.

58
00:06:24,170 --> 00:06:26,600
And you can see that again. It was really, really.

59
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:38,000
A small and now you know you have to cycle around does the LHC because it has a circumference of 27 kilometres so it's really much bigger.

60
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:43,580
But what we are really interested in, in what we do, it's really in the energy.

61
00:06:43,700 --> 00:06:48,900
And energy has really increased by about 1 billion in the last 18 years.

62
00:06:48,930 --> 00:06:52,970
So it's really a very large change in what we can do.

63
00:06:53,480 --> 00:07:00,680
And so and the as to our energy for us are important because a, we can look deeper into the matter.

64
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,220
We can reach a level of ten to the -19 centimetre.

65
00:07:04,910 --> 00:07:08,990
We can discover heavier particles because each is equal to a square.

66
00:07:09,230 --> 00:07:15,230
We can probe the early condition of the universe because e and temperature, energy and temperature are related.

67
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:21,290
Okay? And so we really are benefiting by the ion energy on a variety of levels.

68
00:07:22,250 --> 00:07:31,790
And again, accelerator are such that we collide more and more particles so that we can probe events that are more and more rare.

69
00:07:32,450 --> 00:07:43,440
And again, for example, at the LHC, we are bound crossing almost every ten to the seven bunch crossing per second in any collision happens every year.

70
00:07:43,490 --> 00:07:50,000
We have ten to the nine protons per seconds and therefore we are able to explore

71
00:07:50,630 --> 00:07:54,200
events that are extremely be mirrored like the production of the Higgs boson.

72
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,420
As we will see and again, I will speak a lot. You know, you could speak about, you know,

73
00:07:58,430 --> 00:08:04,910
the number of events that you observe in terms of the luminosity expressed in one of us is centimetre square,

74
00:08:05,180 --> 00:08:09,890
coldly made out of your beam if you want times a cross-section and centimetre square.

75
00:08:10,130 --> 00:08:16,280
But we actually we use that luminosity expressing inverse function and the conceptual in fact open.

76
00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:21,470
And I remind you that one bomb is more or less the area of uranium nucleus.

77
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,780
So it was a unit that was is useful to measure nuclear and particle physics cross-sections.

78
00:08:27,950 --> 00:08:33,440
So the LHC is really is a machine that has really allowed us to look at the Higgs.

79
00:08:33,860 --> 00:08:40,999
And the main challenge for the LHC was really the construction of these superconducting dipole magnets.

80
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:48,920
And at the talk that was here before Llewellyn Smith from Oxford was the head of CERN at the time,

81
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:59,030
told us that he chose the colour of this magnetic and if you know it's are Oxford blue okay not surprisingly so these are very challenging

82
00:08:59,030 --> 00:09:11,240
because in Germany that if you want to steer the proton in this race track because that is at the LHC and to have a 70 the beam in the LHC,

83
00:09:11,420 --> 00:09:15,230
you need eight Tesla for this and it's not easy to build them.

84
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:17,389
They are superconducting.

85
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:27,350
So you have a cable that is built by Dynamo, Niobium Tin and it has a current of 12 clamp and it operates at 1.9 degree kelvins,

86
00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:31,370
which is a colder than, you know, empty space in the universe.

87
00:09:31,820 --> 00:09:37,670
And that is also known as a big refrigerator of a plant.

88
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,420
And it has about 120 tons of superfluid helium to refrigerate the LHC.

89
00:09:46,130 --> 00:09:50,750
So what about electric performance? And actually, performance has been outstanding.

90
00:09:51,140 --> 00:09:56,900
So as you can see, the legacy has delivered about certainly in both found a bunch of data.

91
00:09:57,230 --> 00:10:03,830
It's between seven and eight TV. And you can see here in 2010 is in green.

92
00:10:03,830 --> 00:10:14,060
You cannot even see it in this scale because the energy luminosity increased a lot in 2011 and then in 2012 again.

93
00:10:14,510 --> 00:10:23,810
And that luminosity that we have now is that we have analysed about three times what we had for July 12, 2012.

94
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,710
So the collision rate, so this increasing collision rate.

95
00:10:28,140 --> 00:10:33,469
It's good that because we create more volume but is also very challenging for the experiment.

96
00:10:33,470 --> 00:10:45,260
So I just want to see you to show you some picture and you can see here that, for example, in 2010 we had about two overlapping collisions per event.

97
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,740
So we saw two event, overlapping event we call the pileup.

98
00:10:49,460 --> 00:10:53,420
And the interbank spacing was actually 150 nano seconds.

99
00:10:53,810 --> 00:10:58,360
In 2007, the pileup was already 5 to 10.

100
00:10:58,370 --> 00:11:00,170
So it was much more problematic.

101
00:11:00,650 --> 00:11:14,830
And in 2012, when we had almost a full amount of protons that we can put in the machine, we had like 1380 bunches with 10 to 11 protons.

102
00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:18,200
They pileup, but colliding every 50 nanosecond.

103
00:11:18,380 --> 00:11:21,230
The pileup you see was of the order of 2030.

104
00:11:21,230 --> 00:11:28,610
And again, as you can imagine, it becomes a little bit more challenging to see which track belong to the event of interest.

105
00:11:28,670 --> 00:11:40,079
So it becomes very, very challenging. The experiments at Absolute allowed us to look at this and Coal Atlas and CMC stands for Compact,

106
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,140
the Muon Spectrometer, and it's compact in the sense that is smaller than an atlas.

107
00:11:45,410 --> 00:11:53,420
But like us, this is really huge. Okay. And it says Atlas is about half of the size of Notre Dame in Paris.

108
00:11:53,510 --> 00:11:59,540
So it's a really big thing. And to give you a scale is this is a human being, you know, standing there.

109
00:11:59,750 --> 00:12:06,350
Okay. So the overall diameter of ourselves is 25 metre lens, 45 metres and 7000 tons.

110
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:14,599
You see CMS is smaller and but is considerably heavier and these are digital camera.

111
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,909
So they record the position of particles and they are really cathedral.

112
00:12:19,910 --> 00:12:26,600
So when you go to CMS and Atlas, I think that everybody that enters at all remains like like that.

113
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,950
It's really overwhelming.

114
00:12:27,950 --> 00:12:36,380
It's really, you know, if you can go to Geneva, just go to see to see them if you can, because it's really an amazing success of humanity.

115
00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:40,909
So why is this so big? I'll try to tell you a little bit.

116
00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:45,469
You know how we detect particles. So here you can imagine that you have your beam pipe.

117
00:12:45,470 --> 00:12:52,070
So the protons are coming this way and the are protons is this way and that it close to the interaction region.

118
00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:57,020
You have detectors which measures the position of particle very, very precisely.

119
00:12:57,020 --> 00:13:05,030
Okay, usually silicone or gases detector and then then you have what are called the calorimeter.

120
00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:10,399
And so a calorimeter is built by technology where a photon or an electron almost loses all

121
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:16,250
of its energy in the electromagnetic part of the calorimeter and then a in a drone loses.

122
00:13:16,250 --> 00:13:18,559
All of these are like the protons and neutrons,

123
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:26,150
loses its energy and suddenly calorimeter and then to nuance as a particles that can go through the whole detector and you know,

124
00:13:26,180 --> 00:13:33,200
they give you a signal from your chambers that are located, you know, after the old detectors, usually gas chambers.

125
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:41,660
So here is a view of this detector. If you were standing on the platform and you were doing some repair to the detector, let's say,

126
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:47,690
and you can see here that the movement of I don't know if you see them very well, you can see he has a new chamber up here.

127
00:13:48,140 --> 00:13:57,800
Then you can see the training calorimeter here, which is made of iron and simply later or a copper and the liquid argon in there for one region.

128
00:13:58,070 --> 00:14:02,479
And then you can see the electromagnetic calorimeter here, not not much of the detail,

129
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:12,140
which again is the high granularity liquid argon calorimeter and we've led absorber and then the tracking system very close of here,

130
00:14:12,650 --> 00:14:20,480
which is made by a gases detector which is called a straw chamber, which is of course a TFT and SILICO detector strip and pixels.

131
00:14:21,170 --> 00:14:28,220
And again, you can see the path of the particles that are emerging from this interaction through this detector here.

132
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,190
So let me show you a picture, a little bit of the pixel detector and the strip detector.

133
00:14:34,190 --> 00:14:38,450
So here is a pixel detector that was built for CMS, the forward pixel detector.

134
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:45,600
So it's a pixel detector with 60 million pixel. Each size of the pixel is 100 times 150 microns or.

135
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,830
Really. There's is a precision of of the particle.

136
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:55,200
Very, very nicely, let's say, exquisite looking nicely. But these detectors take a long time to be built.

137
00:14:55,220 --> 00:14:58,400
Okay. Just to give you a scale with respect to me.

138
00:14:58,790 --> 00:15:06,019
I start out in D when Francesca, my daughter was losing our tooth oak and does a detector,

139
00:15:06,020 --> 00:15:17,030
was installed in CMS when Francesca looked like that and she was, you know, going to, you know, junior proms and she had other issues and losing.

140
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:24,950
And the tooth fairy that's so and so it was really, you know, it takes really a long time, you know, to build this detector.

141
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:32,870
So I feel like, you know, this detector is sort of my child and this is my adopted child because actually was building in Oxford.

142
00:15:33,230 --> 00:15:38,030
And I'm sure that my colleague at CNN are picture of their children and, you know,

143
00:15:38,030 --> 00:15:42,410
or or whatever when when they build it, because it took a lot of effort.

144
00:15:42,590 --> 00:15:46,130
And this is a strip detector instead of being a pixel detector.

145
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:54,710
So if you look at Atlas and CMS, you know, the technology that these two detector I've chosen are actually very different.

146
00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:00,379
But the performance is, in fact about the same. So I'm not going to go through this list.

147
00:16:00,380 --> 00:16:07,850
Okay. I just want to point out that, you know, maybe, you know, they this CMS tracker is a little bit better than ATLAS.

148
00:16:08,540 --> 00:16:13,930
But for example, the electromagnetic and calorimeter bottles are a little bit better than CMS.

149
00:16:13,940 --> 00:16:17,600
Okay. So there is a little bit of different choices.

150
00:16:18,020 --> 00:16:24,829
One of the biggest choice between the two experiment is where you put your magnetic field, your solenoid.

151
00:16:24,830 --> 00:16:29,659
You're measuring the momentum of track because they curl in a magnetic field.

152
00:16:29,660 --> 00:16:35,290
Okay. And in the case of of of CMS, you have the big magnetic field.

153
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:41,390
And so all of the detector is inside this big solenoid of the almost for Tesla in the case instead of

154
00:16:41,390 --> 00:16:46,550
Atlas only the track is inside the solenoid and the value of the B field is a little bit smaller.

155
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:54,110
So what? Why are these detectors so big when you want to detect something that is so small?

156
00:16:54,530 --> 00:17:01,610
And again, the idea is that you want to you know, these particles that we want to detect are extremely energetic.

157
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,409
And if you want to detect, for example, a one TB electrons, you know,

158
00:17:06,410 --> 00:17:12,290
you need like 18 centimetre of lead in order for the electron to stop to measure its energy.

159
00:17:12,590 --> 00:17:17,690
Similarly, if you want to measure one TV ad drones, you need like two metre of ions.

160
00:17:17,690 --> 00:17:27,259
So, so you need something big. And to measure the momentum of one TV muons, you know, you need a big magnetic field and a big LeBaron.

161
00:17:27,260 --> 00:17:35,570
So you need the big B and a big L because they to error on the value of the momentum goes like one over B and square.

162
00:17:36,910 --> 00:17:41,440
So different technology, but very similar result again.

163
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:50,800
So if you look at this collaboration in order to build something so, so challenging, you need a lot of people and not a lot of money.

164
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:55,720
And so you have to build, you know, very big international collaboration.

165
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,999
And again, the size of the two experiment are all of the two collaboration are also very similar in

166
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,410
the amount of how many countries and online institutions participate is very similar.

167
00:18:06,790 --> 00:18:13,060
So let us go back to the Higgs. So we end up to to the standard model.

168
00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:18,010
So we started at the beginnings of the standard model. We had like the strong interaction.

169
00:18:18,220 --> 00:18:23,530
We had the electroweak interaction. And in the standard model, we really we know what to do.

170
00:18:23,530 --> 00:18:32,409
We know that the that that the strong interaction is represented by the cell free groups and the electroweak

171
00:18:32,410 --> 00:18:39,760
interaction is represented by the S2 two times U one group where that's au1 group represents a weak aperture.

172
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:50,379
So again, we know also that the lateral magnetic and the weak interaction are are unified because we have done a lot of experiments,

173
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:54,610
for example, Akira, where we have collided electron with protons.

174
00:18:55,060 --> 00:19:01,900
And in these turns, in this kind of interaction, you can exchange photons, W and Z,

175
00:19:02,140 --> 00:19:09,880
and so you can measure the magnitude, if you want, of the electromagnetic force and the magnitude of the weak force.

176
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:19,180
And you can see that the interaction when you go to higher energy at lower energy, the electromagnetic force is much bigger than the weak force.

177
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:27,070
But when you reach energy of the order of 100 GB, you can see that the two in fact are rather similar.

178
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:34,059
So again, you know, you can build this theory and you can build a theory which is a lot of renewables,

179
00:19:34,060 --> 00:19:40,620
a ball engaging variant that out which you want, but you have to have all of the gauge balls on to be massless.

180
00:19:40,630 --> 00:19:49,630
Okay. And you know already that they want us to exist mediate the weak interaction are not massless.

181
00:19:49,630 --> 00:19:55,450
So for example say that Boston has a mass of 91 GV and Z debut as a mass of HGV.

182
00:19:55,780 --> 00:20:05,860
So how do you do that? And it's really here that you need the mechanism to provide masses to this particle without putting them directly in.

183
00:20:08,290 --> 00:20:15,670
So the idea that was used to do that is the idea of the Higgs mechanism.

184
00:20:15,970 --> 00:20:24,310
And just to illustrate the idea, consider if you have a pin and you can rotate this pin and this is a de la Grande Jones.

185
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:28,570
ET cetera. Present is interaction is going to be a rotational invariant.

186
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:36,610
But again, if you put this pin badly about the critical, let's say, a value of the force, the pin is going to buckle.

187
00:20:37,030 --> 00:20:47,820
And so, in a sense, the system loses is they say the the the equilibrium state of the system is no longer rotational invariant.

188
00:20:47,830 --> 00:20:56,830
You have chosen left or right or your choose. Choosing any of this possible point was is being can rotate you can can bend so that what we do

189
00:20:56,830 --> 00:21:05,049
really in terms of the Higgs mechanism so we introduce a single physical beam boson particle,

190
00:21:05,050 --> 00:21:15,670
which is a Higgs boson, and we introduce this potential that as a term you square as a as a value of the

191
00:21:15,790 --> 00:21:21,880
Higgs field square plus in terms of like the Higgs field to the fourth power.

192
00:21:22,270 --> 00:21:32,830
And if according to the value of MU, if new is positive or negative, this field will look like a standard parabolic sort of function.

193
00:21:33,070 --> 00:21:43,610
Or you will have what is called often the Mexican hat, the sort of potential of the bottle of the bottom of the wine bottle kind of potential.

194
00:21:44,530 --> 00:21:53,139
And you can see here then if you have a new negative, you can see that the Zen Z is that you have this kind of potential here.

195
00:21:53,140 --> 00:22:00,730
And then the minimum of zero of your potential in fact happens at the value V, which is equal to music.

196
00:22:00,730 --> 00:22:05,710
What mu divided by the square root of lambda and we can call it we call these the

197
00:22:05,740 --> 00:22:12,400
vacuum expectation value of the Higgs boson and it has a value of 246 GV Okay,

198
00:22:13,270 --> 00:22:20,680
so then we assign in this Lagrangian this factor to be the mass of the Higgs of you becomes mass of the Higgs,

199
00:22:21,070 --> 00:22:24,130
and lambda is equal to the Higgs self coupling.

200
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:32,610
And again, so we think that early in the universe the value of music was such that we were in this situation, okay?

201
00:22:32,710 --> 00:22:40,660
And so all the WS, a Z and the photon were all massless, and as a universe down we add the phase transition,

202
00:22:40,660 --> 00:22:45,760
the value of new change sign for some reason and the symmetry was broken.

203
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:52,780
So it's a universe chose one of these possible vacuum and we chose this it chose this one for example.

204
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:59,470
And then because of these transitions that W and Z became massive and the photon remained massless.

205
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:05,350
So once you have the Higgs in the standard model, and this is one of the easiest ways that you can.

206
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:13,100
Break his symmetry introducing these five to the force potential than deferral masses can be given by what is called actions.

207
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:21,669
A You have a mechanism and therefore they are related to this vacuum exploitation value by some you cover coefficient and

208
00:23:21,670 --> 00:23:31,350
the w masses also depend from these from the vacuum application value and then you can also have itself coupling and they.

209
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:38,020
S production for example, is a final state which will depend on the mass of the Higgs, for example, and that they can expectation value.

210
00:23:39,490 --> 00:23:48,010
So that looks very predictive. So the standard model is very predictive, but we don't know really why, you know,

211
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,299
the Higgs potential as a shape that it has or if it has even that shape.

212
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:58,150
But you know why there is a non-zero vacuum expectation value.

213
00:23:58,390 --> 00:24:10,480
And also in a sense, we still know that the a top core which has a large mass is going to have a, you know, a coupling that is close to one one.

214
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:19,450
Instead, a an electron which has a mass of alpha may be is going to have a coupling to the expose on that is of the order of ten to the minus six.

215
00:24:19,690 --> 00:24:28,570
So again, we have we we know how to put the masses in Lagrangian, but we don't know why that it's coupling at the values that they have.

216
00:24:29,590 --> 00:24:36,700
So and again, you know, we are solving the problem of mass, but most of the mass of the universe,

217
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:40,480
for example, the mass of the proton is not due to the Higgs mechanism,

218
00:24:40,690 --> 00:24:49,120
but is due to the to the kinetic energy of the constituent of of the of the proton, for example, you know, the gluons or quarks, etc.

219
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,470
So why did it take so long to find the Higgs, even at the LHC?

220
00:24:53,710 --> 00:24:58,210
So here is a plot of the cross-section of the X that best is a square root of energy.

221
00:24:58,390 --> 00:25:01,750
So here was a Tevatron, a previous machine, and here is LHC.

222
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:07,450
So you see that there's a cross-section for that, but for the scattering of the proton.

223
00:25:07,450 --> 00:25:10,930
Proton is up here and the cross-section of the Higgs is down here.

224
00:25:11,290 --> 00:25:17,109
So it means that only one in 10 to 10 events are going to produce, in fact, a Higgs boson.

225
00:25:17,110 --> 00:25:20,170
So that's why you have to have a high rate of interaction.

226
00:25:20,530 --> 00:25:24,370
And again, it's a little bit like to look for a needle in the haystack.

227
00:25:25,390 --> 00:25:29,920
So here is a plot of the production of the Higgs versus the mass of the Higgs.

228
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:35,190
So we now know that is about here. Okay. The Higgs really coupled to mass.

229
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:43,090
So if we wanted to produce a Higgs boson, the best way to do so will be to interact, you know, to scatter together a beam of top quarks.

230
00:25:43,390 --> 00:25:48,730
That, of course, you cannot do that. The top decays almost immediately after the generated.

231
00:25:48,730 --> 00:25:57,969
Okay. So the best thing that you can do is conclude on fusion, where you have a virtual top loop that gives rise to the production of the top.

232
00:25:57,970 --> 00:26:04,180
And you see that the Z is really the highest production mechanism for the Higgs of any mass.

233
00:26:04,510 --> 00:26:08,950
Then you have what is called vector boson fusion where a core can meet the debut and

234
00:26:08,980 --> 00:26:15,160
Z and then you have the produces that Higgs and then you have what is called X.

235
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:27,309
The W is that strong. So the Higgs is coming out of all the it w is that and then you have a or b b production where you have gluon interaction,

236
00:26:27,310 --> 00:26:31,170
you exchange a top cork and then the Higgs is coming out here.

237
00:26:31,420 --> 00:26:35,499
So again, you can see that again, all of this is a logarithmic scale.

238
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:39,280
So you are going order of magnitude between each of these production models.

239
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:46,690
So there is a big, big jump in the cross-section. How does a Higgs decay while the Higgs actually decay?

240
00:26:46,700 --> 00:26:52,330
When I'm then 25 of GD Higgs decays mainly to bottom quarks.

241
00:26:52,900 --> 00:27:02,800
But the way that we discovered the Higgs on July 12 was to looking at the decay of the Higgs to two photon and the decay of the Higgs to Z Z.

242
00:27:03,460 --> 00:27:09,250
So we discovered actually the Higgs by looking at some sliver of this pie chart.

243
00:27:09,250 --> 00:27:17,950
And why did we do that? The branching duration is high, but the signal to background to look for the Higgs in p b bar is really very poor.

244
00:27:18,310 --> 00:27:22,900
And again, instead that for Z Z's branching ratio it's Mauk.

245
00:27:22,990 --> 00:27:27,310
And for Gamma, Gamma is at the level of about two per meal.

246
00:27:27,610 --> 00:27:30,790
But again, you know, the signal to background is much better.

247
00:27:31,810 --> 00:27:37,000
And moreover, looking at this decay mode, it gives you two very,

248
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:46,090
very nice peaks because you can measure the energy and of the photon and electron very well in the detector that we are building

249
00:27:46,390 --> 00:27:54,040
partially the electromagnetic calorimeter of both the mass and that stars were chosen so that you could do x to gamma gamma decays.

250
00:27:54,040 --> 00:28:01,690
Okay. So you can see here a simulated x two gamma gamma and here I simulated x2zz with four muons.

251
00:28:01,990 --> 00:28:05,030
And you can see that what you exact aspect is.

252
00:28:05,350 --> 00:28:14,409
In the case of X two, Gamma Gamma is a sharp peak over a big background, and so is a crucial, crucial issue for Gamma.

253
00:28:14,410 --> 00:28:18,400
Gamma is to maintain this very good mass resolution.

254
00:28:18,580 --> 00:28:22,150
And this is issue is this huge irreducible background.

255
00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:29,319
And in the case of X to Z said that you have low background, but the cross-section is three times the branching ratio.

256
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,060
It's really tiny. Okay.

257
00:28:31,420 --> 00:28:40,870
And so really and some of your lab, Don, at very low transverse momentum is the transversal mentum is in the range between five and 20 G.

258
00:28:41,260 --> 00:28:46,600
So is that important that you maintain very good efficiency for low momentum left?

259
00:28:48,540 --> 00:28:54,869
So what does happen after July the fourth? Well, we have tried to answer this kind of question.

260
00:28:54,870 --> 00:29:00,210
Is the standard model is the standard model Higgs boson, the particles that we have observed?

261
00:29:00,810 --> 00:29:09,690
And to do that, we have to find out if it captures two fermions and bosons proportional to the masses as it is expected on the standard model.

262
00:29:10,050 --> 00:29:14,790
Does it have to be zero and positive parity? Is it elementary?

263
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,770
In this case would be the first.

264
00:29:16,770 --> 00:29:24,749
You know, Scala Elementary School out there found escaping, capping the date for the standard model expectation that, for example,

265
00:29:24,750 --> 00:29:30,389
there could be new physics loops that enter in these in these gluon fusion loops,

266
00:29:30,390 --> 00:29:39,620
or are they decaying to go into photons or that it decay to invisible particles so as they are more exposed, for example.

267
00:29:39,630 --> 00:29:42,510
So we really try to answer some of this question,

268
00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:50,460
but we are really at the beginning to find some of these answers because the data that we have is still quite limited.

269
00:29:50,970 --> 00:29:57,120
And again, what we have been doing is like to measure all the expected production rate and

270
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:02,070
all the expected decay rate of the Higgs that we can with the data that we have.

271
00:30:02,430 --> 00:30:07,620
And so, for example, we don't only try to measure X, two, Z, Z in gluon fusion,

272
00:30:07,620 --> 00:30:17,340
but we are also measuring in vector bottom fusion when we expect us to set objects together with the Higgs that we have produced.

273
00:30:18,270 --> 00:30:22,229
So just to tell you, to show you a little bit what we are doing,

274
00:30:22,230 --> 00:30:28,710
July is a force of 4x2 gamma gamma yet was a result for our class and here was the result for CMS.

275
00:30:29,220 --> 00:30:39,560
So you see that the observed significance of the signal was 4.4 around four sigma for each of the experiment and the signal strands of this,

276
00:30:39,590 --> 00:30:45,570
the production production was much larger than what we expected from the standard model.

277
00:30:45,580 --> 00:30:52,350
This is the ratio of the two. So if the event was happening according to the standard model, this MU should have been equal to one.

278
00:30:52,530 --> 00:30:55,650
And you see that it was almost closer to two for Atlas,

279
00:30:56,250 --> 00:31:01,979
but we felt huge error and again that was already stimulated a lot of theoretical

280
00:31:01,980 --> 00:31:06,780
interest because again if you look at the loop of the Higgs to decay,

281
00:31:06,780 --> 00:31:15,150
two photons of photon are massless. So again, the Higgs cap was to default on the decay again to a top loop or super w loop.

282
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:23,100
Okay. What if you had new physics? Maybe you could have new physics that made these Z's deviation from the standard model.

283
00:31:23,100 --> 00:31:26,610
Okay, so it was a lot of interest. What do we have now?

284
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:35,970
Well, in the case of you can see that now, say each of the experiment as a Five Sigma significance just in this channel alone.

285
00:31:36,540 --> 00:31:41,130
But the signal strength now has gone down and it is still a big error.

286
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:47,070
So it's still consistent with one, but is gone closer to the expectation of the standard model.

287
00:31:48,570 --> 00:31:57,820
What about A to Z? Z? I told you these are very relevant to both ATLA and seems a bit about certainty of disadvantage.

288
00:31:57,930 --> 00:32:03,870
So the Higgs is here and here is a z reality that goes on digging into four leptons.

289
00:32:04,290 --> 00:32:10,300
Okay, so you can see here and you can see that the probabilities that the peak is from the.
