BSM Perspectives after the Higgs Discovery Marcela Carena Fermilab and U. of Chicago Les Rencontres de Physique de la Valle d’Aoste: Results and Perspectives in Particle Physics February 28, 2014
A new type of particle, a new type of interaction has been discovered § Is it THE STANDARD MODEL HIGGS ? § Or does it have non-SM properties? u Could be a mixture from more than one Higgs Field u Could be a mixture of CP even and CP odd Could be a composite particle u Could be partly a singlet or a triplet instead of an SU(2) doublet u Could have enhanced/suppressed coupling to photons or gluons if there are exotic heavy charged or colored particles u Could decay to exotic particles, e. g. dark matter u May not couple to matter particles proportional to their masses u it can still be the scalar boson responsible for EWSB
Should we expect New Physics beyond the Higgs at all? • The Higgs restores the calculability power of the SM Loops are finite • The Higgs is special : it is a scalar Scalar masses are not protected by gauge symmetries: At quantum level scalar masses have quadratic sensitivity to UV physics Although the SM with the Higgs is a consistent theory, light scalars like the Higgs cannot survive in the presence of heavy states at GUT/String/Planck scales Fine tuning Naturalness problem
Two possible Solutions: Supersymmetry: a fermion-boson symmetry The Higgs remains elementary but its mass is protected by the new fermion-boson symmetry SUSY Composite Higgs Models: The Higgs is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson arising from the spontaneous breaking of a global symmetry by some underlying strong dynamics The Higgs does not exist above a certain scale, at which new strong dynamics takes place Both options imply changes in the Higgs phenomenology and New particles that may be seen at the LHC
SUSY and Naturalness § For SUSY to solve the Higgs Naturalness Problem, the superpartners should not be too much heavier than the electroweak scale § This is especially so for Higgsinos, stops, and gluinos < 1. 5 Te. V < 700 Ge. V < 400 Ge. V ATLAS and CMS are aggressively pursuing the direct signatures of naturalness Papucci, Rudermann, Weiler ‘ 11 § SUSY may be hiding due to degraded missing energy signatures Compressed spectra: long decay chains soften the spectrum of observed particles from SUSY decays: R parity violation with no stable LSP
What does a 125 Ge. V Higgs tell us? Theorists should be humble At the edge of Stability MSSM SM valid up to MPlanck SUSY extensions Composite Higgs
What does a 125 Ge. V Higgs implies in SUSY? SUSY implies multiple Higgs bosons, differing in their masses and other properties Minimal Higgs Sector: Two SU(2) doublets Hd and Hu (type II 2 HDM) required by SUSY/gauge invariance and to secure anomaly cancellations One doublet is the SM one: HSM= Hod cosβ + Hou sinβ tanβ = vu / vd And the orthogonal combination involves the CP-even, CP-odd and charged Non-SM Higgs Strictly speaking, the CP-even modes mix and none behaves like the SM one h = - sinα H od + cosα H ou H = cosα H od + sinα H ou In the alignment limit sin α = − cos β and one recovers the SM as an ET

What do the Higgs Production and Decay rates tell us? Many different pieces of information: Different patterns of deviations from SM couplings if: • New light charged or colored particles in loop-induced processes • Modification of tree level couplings due to mixing effects • Decays to new or invisible particles crucial info on NP from Higgs precision measurements
Loop induced Couplings of the Higgs to Gauge Boson Pairs Low energy effective theorems relate a heavy particle contribution to the loop induced Higgs couplings to gauge bosons, to that particle contribution to the two point function of the gauge bosons Ellis, Gaillard, Nanopoulos’ 76, Shifman, Vainshtein, Voloshin, Zakharov’ 79, Kniehl and Spira ’ 95 M. C, I. Low, Wagner ‘ 12 Similarly for the Higgs-gluon coupling Hence, W (gauge bosons) contribute negatively to Hγγ, while top quarks (matter particles) contribute positively to Hgg and Hγγ • New chiral fermions will enhance Hgg and suppress hγγ • To reverse this behavior matter particles need to have negative values for For a study considering CP violating effects and connection with EDM’s and MDM’s see Voloshin’ 12; Altmannshofer, Bauer, MC’ 13
Possible departures in the production and decay rates at the LHC in SUSY § Through SUSY particle effects in loop induced processes If a particle’s mass is proportional to the Higgs VEV, contributes with the same sign of the top loop. But mixing can alter the sign.
Gluon Fusion in the MSSM ‘ 13 In the NMSSM: Trade stop mixing for sizeable Higgs-singlet mixing More freedom in gluon fusion
Higgs Decay in the di-photon channel in the MSSM Charged scalar particles with no color charge can modify the di-photon rate without modifying the gluon production process - μ tanβ In singlet extensions: small tan beta needed for mh~125 Ge. V, hence no stau effects but possible chargino effects
§ Through enhancement/suppression of the Hbb and Hττ coupling strength via mixing in the scalar boson sector : This affects in similar manner BR’s into all other particles MSSM: Additional modifications of the Higgs rates into gauge bosons via stau induced mixing effects in the Higgs sector Few percent variations in BR [h bb] induce significant variations in the other Higgs BR’s M. CMC, Gori, Shah, Wagner, ’ 11 + Wang’ 12 NMSSM : Wide range of WW/ZZ and γγ rates due to Higgs-singlet mixing ( λS) §Through vertex corrections to Yukawa couplings: for bottoms and taus This destroys the SM relation BR(h bb) /BR(h ττ) ~ mb 2/mτ2

Alignment and additional Higgs boson spectrum sinα = - cosβ h has SM like properties Decoupling: Large CP odd Mass (MA > 500 Ge. V) Alignment independent of the CP odd mass value for intermediate (MSSM) and small (NMSSM) tanβ Haber, Gunion ‘ 03 MC, Low, Shah, Wagner ‘ 13 Is it more important to measure Higgs couplings with the highest precision possible Or Find new ways of searching for additional Higgs states?

The power of the dark side Holds the Universe together and makes 85% of all the matter in it! Astrophysics and Cosmology taught us - Not atoms (non-baryonic) - moves slow (cold dark matter) WIMP Dark Matter ? MDM ~ 100 – 1000 Ge. V Gravity Interacts very weakly (not charged) Higgs-like Interactions?
SUSY and the WIMP “Miracle” • If the LSP is the lightest neutralino it will behave as WIMP dark matter • In the MSSM the lightest neutralino is generically a mixture of the Bino, Wino, and the two Higgsinos • If you are more ambitious, can try to require that the LSP is a thermal relic with the correct abundance to explain all of dark matter
SUSY and the WIMP “Miracle” Bino-Higgsino mixture, closest case to the WIMP Miracle Bino-like that can annihilate through the h or Z “funnels” Pure Bino needs co-annihilation with other quasi-degenerate superpartners Higgsino, ~ 1. 5 Te. V Wino, ~ 3 Te. V Hooper et al. ‘ 13
Are the SUSY neutralinos hiding from DM direct detection? Mixed Wino-Higssino or Bino-Higgsino can have suppressed couplings with the Higgs by tuning M 2 (M 1), tan β and μ
Pure states • Pure Winos, Binos, or Higgsinos have no tree level coupling to the Higgs bosons so SI cross section is suppressed Hill, Solon’ 14 • Pure Winos, if we also require correct thermal relic abundance, ruled out by Hess gamma ray line bounds Cohen, Lisanti, Pierce, Slatyer ‘ 13 Fermi Hess
Pure states • Almost pure Higgsinos with mass ~ 1 Te. V have very suppressed SI cross sections and are not ruled out (yet) by indirect detection constraints Hisano et al ‘ 13 • Pure Binos with lighter masses can also have very suppressed SI cross sections, but correct thermal relic abundance requires staus, stops, or charginos at LHC
