Prof. Higgs and his bosonProf. Higgs and his boson• Peter Ware Higgs (born May 29, 1929), FRSE, FRS, until recently held a
personal chair in theoretical physics at the University of Edinburgh and is now an emeritus professor.
• Higgs is best known for his 1960s proposal of broken symmetry in electroweak theory, explaining the origin of mass of elementary particles in general and of the W and Z bosons in particular. This so-called Higgs mechanism predicts the existence of a new particle, the Higgs boson. Although this particle has not turned up in accelerator experiments so far, the Higgs mechanism is generally accepted as an important ingredient in the Standard Model of particle physics. Higgs conceived of the mechanism in 1964 while walking the Cairngorms, and returned to his lab declaring he had had his "one big idea".
• Peter Higgs has been awarded a number of prizes in recognition of his work, including the Dirac Medal and Prize for outstanding contributions to theoretical physics from the Institute of Physics, the 1997 High Energy and Particle Physics Prize by the European Physical Society, and the 2004 Wolf Prize in Physics.
• Many others contributed to the concept – Englert, Brout, Anderson…

In the beginning there was no sun, neither did the moon shine, nor the stars,
man made light was no where.It is Your light that lit up everything else,
Every thing in this world shines from Your light
Where did everything come from? What is everything made up of?

Names of the actors: MatterNames of the actors: Matter
• All of matter is made up of spin ½ particles• Leptons:• electron (e), muon(), tau() (charge -1
and +1) and 3 neutrinos (charge 0)• Quarks:• Up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom• They have fractional charges (2/3 and -
1/3)!!

Names of the actors: ForcesNames of the actors: Forces
• Forces are carried by spin 1 particles called guage bosons:
• Electromagnetic:photon• Weak: W+-, Z0 • Strong: gluon• Gravitational: I don’t know – may be YOU will
find out one day…• quarks participate in all interactions (i.e. they
can exchange photon, W, Z, gluon)• Leptons can’t exchange gluons

Without Higgs…Without Higgs…
• Without Higgs we won’t be here because:
• All fundamental particles will be massless, travelling at the speed of light in vacuum
• Higgs boson – the charge less spin zero massive particle is the quantum of an all pervading Higgs field through which particles move – and interaction with this field gives them mass
According to standard model

How to discover new particles?How to discover new particles?• How do we discover
Higgs?• Good old principle:• Produce the particle by colliding
other particles• Look at decay products• Reconstructruct invariant mass• Look for a peak in the invariant
mass distribution
Measure E,p,
Get the mass of the original particle
E1E2(1-cos(theta12))
Beware of fake products!

Plan for finding HiggsPlan for finding Higgs• What do we collide? 7 Tera electron Volt
Protons• At what rate? Once every 25 nano
seconds• How often do we expect to see Higgs? A
few every second.• What will they decay to? Could be a pair of
top-antitop or bottom antibottom or two photons or two Z0s…
OK! So we just have to catch these particles and measure E,p

Of quark bondage: JetsOf quark bondage: Jets• There is no free quark in the
world• Quarks and gluons, as they fly
apart from each other – give birth to other quarks and gluons, eventually all these quarks and gluons combine with each other to make pions, nutrons, eta’s rho’s … known as hadrons
• They all more or less fly in the direction of the original quark/gluon and that is JET
• Jets are the only signatures of quarks and gluons that we can see experimentally

Luminosity and cross sectionLuminosity and cross section• If I shoot 1011 protons every 25 ns through another 1011 protons most
of them will sail through.– how many will collide/ sec?– Out of every hundred collition how many will produce Higgs?
• Ans: no. of collisions / sec = (1011X 1011)/25ns/500sq-micron (provided the beam cross section is 500 sq-micron).
• Sigma() is called reaction cross section and contains the entire physics of all possible interactions between the colliding quarks and gluons (calculated by phenomenologists)
• The remaining terms in the formula together are called luminosity(L)
• In general: Number of collisions/sec = L(the actual formula for luminosity is somewhat more complicated, which
takes into account the crossing angle of the beams, lorentz contraction of the bunches etc.)
