Precision Standard Model Measurements Measurements of finalstate particles

Precision ‘Standard Model’ Measurements • Measurements of finalstate particles in welldefined fiducial regions • Generally differential cross sections • Should not (and mostly do not) assume the SM • Agree with the SM (so far) • Thus they can potentially exclude extensions June 2019 JMB, DESY 1

Strategy • Use measurements shown to agree with the Standard Model – (Currently) assume the data = the background, as in a typical search control region. – Excellent for quick sensitivity/limit scans of new models • Key for constraining new models if there is a signal (unintended consequences) • Key for constraining scale of new physics if there is no signal June 2019 JMB, DESY 5

Dynamic data selection • Measurements of fiducial, particle-level differential cross sections, with existing Rivet routines • Classify according to data set (7, 8, 13 Te. V) and into non-overlapping signatures • Use only one plot from each given statistically correlated sample – e. g. Jets, lv+jets, ll+jets, g (+jets), gg, 4 l, etc …. • “Most sensitive measurement” will vary with model and model parameters June 2019 JMB, DESY 6

Spontaneously-broken B-L gauge theory S. Amrith, JMB, F. F. Deppisch, W. Liu, A. Varma, D. Yallup 1811. 11452, JHEP 1905 (2019) 154 • UV complete • Three pairs of parameters which interplay to give quite a rich phenomenology – New U(1) gauge symmetry from B-L • New gauge boson Z’, coupling g 1’ – Spontaneously broken • New Higgs boson, h 2, can mix with SM Higgs: sina – RH neutrinos with Majorana masses, natural explanation of light neutrino masses (seesaw mechanism) • Lifetime of neutrino may lead to prompt decays, (far-)displacedvertex, or effective stability for collider signatures June 2019 JMB, DESY 9

Spontaneously-broken B-L gauge theory June 2019 JMB, DESY 10

Spontaneously-broken B-L gauge theory Contur approach is not well-suited for long-lived-particle signatures: most measurements demand prompt particles attached to primary vertex, or else known SM particle (B, t…). See Deppisch, Liu, Mitra ar. Xiv: 1804. 04075 for a study of this model June 2019 JMB, DESY 11

Scalar Dark Energy Field coupling to SM • Mode introduced by Brax, Burrage, Englert & Spannowsky in ar. Xiv: 1604. 04299 • Neutral scalar dark energy field of mass �� couples to Standard �� Model particles via various Effective Field Theory (EFT) operators which are suppressed by powers of a scale parameter ��. ����� • Concentrate on couplings �� 1 & �� 2 which appear in front on the leading EFT operators, setting others to zero. – This means that �� is pair-produced and stable, so dominant signatures are expected to involve missing transverse energy. Setting �� 1=�� 2=1 scan in �� �� and �� ����� June 2019 JMB, DESY 28

Scalar Dark Energy Field coupling to SM • Now set �� =0. 1 Ge. V, and setting ��. �� 2=1−�� 1, scan in �� 1 and �� ����� Limits similar to but stronger than reinterpreted searches in the original paper (which used 8 Te. V data) Most sensitive measure, ATLAS 13 Te. V jets + missing energy. ar. Xiv: 1707. 03263 June 2019 JMB, DESY 29

Flavour Anomalies • no June 2019 JMB, DESY Moriond 2019 31

Flavour Anomalies • Introduce a new particle/interaction to explain this: • Look at the impact of direct searches and measurements for such a particle • e. g. Allanach, JMB, Corbett ar. Xiv: 1904. 10954 June 2019 JMB, DESY 32

Summary… • With the Higgs, the Standard Model could work well above the Electroweak symmetry breaking scale. • Take its predictions seriously! • Model independent measurements stored in Hep. Data and Rivet are a powerful and flexible resource – Already used more MC tuning and validation, comparison to precision SM measurements – Can now be used to constrain BSM physics (several examples shown, more available) June 2019 JMB, DESY 33

Summary… • Complementary approaches – EFT fits when new states are out of reach – Truly “exotic” signatures (e. g. long lived/(dis)appearing particles etc) require dedicated searches • Future – Keep adding more data. Hopefully the priority of these kind of measurements at LHC will increase – Treat correlations better, where available – Use precision SM theory where available: Could then also become a discovery tool June 2019 JMB, DESY 34
