Dark Matter, Matter-Anti Matter Symmetry - Abdus Salam ICTP

This document provides a summary of a special lecture on physics at the weak scale, dark matter, and the matter-antimatter asymmetry. The lecture discusses how the Higgs mechanism gives mass to fundamental particles but leaves open questions. It also explores how dark matter may be connected to new particles at the weak scale based on its necessary annihilation rate. The lecture finally examines how baryogenesis at the weak scale could explain the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry through baryon number violation and non-equilibrium processes.

The new High Energy Physics Framework
High Energy Physics has provided an understanding of all data collected
in low and high energy collider experiments

Contrary to expectations, no signature of physics beyond the SM was


observed at the LEP electron-positron collider and no large deviation is
being observed at the Tevatron.

However, there are two main reasons to believe that there is new
physics around the corner. One is related to particle physics, and the
other to cosmology:

Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

Origin of Dark Matter

The aim of high energy physics experiments is, in great part, to


contribute to the understanding of these two questions.
Open questions in the Standard Model

 Source of Mass of fundamental particles.

 Nature of the Dark Matter, contributing to most of the


matter energy density of the Universe.

 Origin of the observed asymmetry between particles and


antiparticles (Baryon Asymmetry).

 Dark Energy, Quantum Gravity and Unified Interactions.


The Higgs Mechanism and the Origin of Mass

Luminous Matter Dark Matter
Why do we think that Dark Matter may be
accessible at collider experiments ?

Dark Matter is most likely associated with new particles

Many dark matter candidates have been proposed.They differ in


mass and in the range of interaction with SM particles.

However, if the relic density proceeds from the primordial


thermal bath, there are reasons to believe that it must be part of
the dynamics leading to an explanation of electroweak
symmetry breaking.
It should certainly interact with (annihilate into) ordinary matter
at an observable rate !

Weak-scale size cross sections and masses give the right dark-matter density
Dark Matter Annihilation Rate
The main reason why we think there is a chance of observing dark
matter at colliders is that, when we compute the annihilation rate
necessary to obtain the observed relic density, we get a cross section

This suggests that it is probably


mediated by weakly interacting
particles

Connection of Thermal Dark Matter to the weak scale and to the


mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking
Weak Scale Models and Dark Matter
Many different models of particle physics at the weak scale have been
proposed

Most of them lead to problems of flavor changing transitions or rapid


proton decay, unless extra symmetries are invoked

These extra symmetries lead to the stability of the lightest new


particle, which tend to be neutral and weakly interacting and therefore
a good candidate for dark matter

I’ll concentrate in the supersymmetric case as a well motivated


example of this kind of models.

Baryon-Antibaryon asymmetry

 Baryon Number abundance is only a tiny fraction of other relativistic


species

 But in early universe baryons, antibaryons and photons were


equally abundant. What explains the above ratio ?

 No net baryon number if B would be conserved at all times.

 What generated the small observed baryon-antibaryon asymmetry ?


Baryon Number Generation at the
Weak Scale

(Electroweak Baryogenesis)
Baryogenesis at the weak scale

 Under natural assumptions, there are three conditions,


enunciated by Sakharov, that need to be fulfilled for
baryogenesis. The SM fulfills them :

 Baryon number violation: Anomalous Processes

 C and CP violation: Quark CKM mixing

 Non-equilibrium: Possible at the electroweak phase


transition.
Baryogenesis at the Weak Scale
 Weak scale spectrum and processes to be tested in the near future.

 Baryogenesis from out of eq. weak scale mass particle decay: Difficult, since
non-equilibrium condition is satisfied for small couplings, for which CP-
violating effects become small (example: resonant leptogenesis).

Baryon Number Violation at finite T
 Anomalous processes violate both baryon and lepton number, but
preserve B – L. Relevant for the explanation of the Universe
baryon asymmetry.

 At zero T baryon number violating processes highly suppressed

 At finite T, only Boltzman suppression

Klinkhamer and Manton ’85, Arnold and Mc Lerran ’88


Baryon Asymmetry Preservation
If Baryon number generated at the electroweak phase

transition,

Kuzmin, Rubakov and Shaposhnikov, ’85—’87

Baryon number erased unless the baryon number violating

processes are out of equilibrium in the broken phase.


Therefore, to preserve the baryon asymmetry, a strongly first order

phase transition is necessary:


Electroweak Phase Transition
Higgs Potential Evolution in the case of a first order

Phase Transition
Finite Temperature Higgs Potential

D receives contributions at one-loop proportional to the


sum of the couplings of all bosons and fermions squared, and is
responsible for the phenomenon of symmetry restoration

E receives contributions proportional to the sum of the cube


of all light boson particle couplings

Since in the SM the only bosons are the gauge bosons, and the
quartic coupling is proportional to the square of the Higgs mass,
If the Higgs Boson is created , it will decay rapidly
into other particles

At LEP energies mainly into


pairs of b quarks

One detects the decay products


of the Higgs and the Z bosons

LEP Run is over

• No Higgs seen with a mass below 114 GeV

• But, tantalizing hint of a Higgs


with mass about
115 -- 116 GeV (just at the edge of LEP reach)

Leads to Unification of gauge couplings.

 Starting from positive masses at high energies, electroweak symmetry breaking


is induced radiatively.

 If discrete symmetry, P = (-1) is imposed, lightest SUSY
particle neutral and stable: Excellent candidate for cold Dark Matter.
Preservation of the Baryon Asymmetry
 EW Baryogenesis requires new boson degrees of freedom with
strong couplings to the Higgs.

 Supersymmetry provides a natural framework for


this scenario. Huet, Nelson ’91; Giudice ’91, Espinosa, Quiros,Zwirner ’93.

 Relevant SUSY particle: Superpartner of the top

 Each stop has six degrees of freedom (3 of color, two of charge)


and coupling of order one to the Higgs

M. Carena, M. Quiros, C.W. ’96, ‘98

 Since

Higgs masses up to 120 GeV may be accomodated


MSSM: Limits on the Stop and Higgs Masses
to preserve the baryon asymmetry
Suficciently strong first order phase transition to preserve generated baryon
asymmetry:
• Higgs masses up to 120 GeV

• The lightest stop must have a mass below the top quark mass.

Experimental Tests of Electroweak Baryogenesis
in the MSSM
Experimental Tests of
Electroweak Baryogenesis and Dark Matter

• Higgs searches beyond LEP:


1. Tevatron collider may test this possibility: 3 sigma evidence with about 4
Discovery quite challenging, detecting a signal will mean that the Higgs has
relevant strong (SM-like) couplings to W and Z
Maximal mixing scenario

2. A definitive test of this scenario will


come at the LHC with the first
30 of data
Tevatron Stop Reach when two body decay
channel is dominant

Main signature:

2 or more jets plus


missing energy

Demina, Lykken, Matchev,Nomerotsky ‘99


Stop-Neutralino Mass Difference:
Information from the Cosmos
M. Carena, C. Balazs, C.W., PRD70:015007, 2004
M. Carena, C. Balazs, A. Menon, D. Morrissey, C.W., Phys. Rev. D71:075002, 2005.

 If the neutralino provides the observed dark matter relic


density, then it must be stable and lighter than the light stop.

 Relic density is inversely proportional to the neutralino annihilation cross


section.

If only stops, charginos and neutralinos are light, there are three
main annihilation channels:

1. Coannihilation of neutralino with light stop or charginos: Small mass


differences.
2. s-channel annihilation via Z or light CP-even Higgs boson
3. s-channel annihilation via heavy CP-even Higgs boson and
CP-odd Higgs boson
Tevatron stop searches and dark matter
constraints
Carena, Balazs and C.W. ‘04

Green: Relic density consistent


with WMAP measurements.

Searches for light stops


difficult in stop-neutralino
coannihilarion region.

LHC will have equal difficulties.

But, LHC can search for stops from


gluino decays into stops and tops.
Stops may be discovered for gluino
masses lower than 900 GeV, even if
the stop-neutralino mass difference is
as low as 10 GeV !

Generation of Baryon
Number
 The CP-violating currents are induced by the interaction of
charginos and neutralinos with the bubble wall.

Charginos and neutralinos are admixtures of the superpartners of


the Higgs bosons, Higgsinos, with mass , and superpartners of
the gauge bosons, with masses , where i=1,2 if they are the
gauginos of the hypercharge of weak interactions respectively.

For instance, the charginos are two Dirac states and their mass matrix

Similarly, neutralinos are four Majorana states.

Balazs, Carena, Freitas, C.W. ‘07
 Assuming the presence of gluinos with masses dictated by gaugino
mass unification, as well as one squark, with mass of the order of
500 GeV:

 The LHC may be able to determine the chargino and second


neutralino masses, as well as the lightest neturalino mass with some
precision. The presence of one Higgs decaying invisibly provides
further information.

 A 500 GeV ILC will allow to measure four of the five neutralino
masses, as well as the chargino masses. It will also verify the
existence of two light CP-even Higgses, which decay mainly invisibly.

TCP-Violating Phases

The conformal (mass independent) sector of the theory is


invariant under an R-symmetry and a PQ-symmetry, with

U (1)R 0 0 2 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 2
U (1)P Q 1 1 -2 -1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

These symmetries allow to absorve phases into redefinition


of fields. The remaining phases may be absorved into the
mass parameters. Only physical phases remain, given by

arg(m 12tsa ), Text Higgs Sector


arg(m 12tsM i), i= 1,2,3, Chargino-Neutralino Sector
arg(m 12tsA u ), (3 generations
), S-up sector
arg(m 12tsA d ), (3 generations
), S-down sector
Choice of CP-violating Phases
We will assume phases in the (universal) gaugino mass
parameters

This choice leads to signatures in electric dipole moments


similar to those ones present in the MSSM

Choosing the phase in the Higgs sector, however, may lead to a


realistic scenario (Huber, Konstantin, Prokopec, Schmidt’06). It
is an open question if this can be tested.

Hard to realize this scenario with only phases in the squark


sector.

Conclusions
 Electroweak Baryogenesis in the MSSM demands a light Higgs, with
mass lower than 120 GeV and a stop lighter than the top-quark.

 Dark Matter : Even lighter neutralinos. If coannihilation channel


relevant, searches for stops at hadron colliders difficult.

 To be tested by electron e.d.m. experiments, Tevatron, LHC,ILC and


direct dark matter detection experiments.

 nMSSM provides an attractive alternative scenario.

 Origin of Dark Matter and Baryogenesis may explained in a natural


way in this model, provided singlet mass is small.

 Invisible decaying Higgs signature of this model, as well as an


extended and light neutralino sector. Direct dark matter detection rate
well predicted, and about to be tested in the near future.
