What is particle physics?

• Central question of particle physics:

L = ?

... What are the elementary degrees of freedom and how do they interact?

• Most experimentally observed phenomena consistent with the “standard model”(Michelson 1894: “... it seems probable that most of the grand underlying principles have been firmly established ...”)

• Standard Model (SM)of particle physics:

fermions ∼ matter

(3 generations)

bosons ∼ forces

Standard Modelof cosmology:

• Inconsistent: Two very successful theories, but they cannot be the full story

Z L – p. 1

L = ?

... What are the elementary degrees of freedom and how do they interact?

• Most experimentally observed phenomena consistent with the “standard model”(Michelson 1894: “... it seems probable that most of the grand underlying principles have been firmly established ...”)

• Clearest empirical evidence that SM is incomplete:

– Dark matter Maybe at

– Baryon asymmetry of the Universe TeV scale

– Neutrino mass

– Inflation in the early universe [have a plausible theoretical picture]

– Dark energy [cosmological constant? need to know more to understand?]

Z L – p. 1

The Universe: matter vs. antimatter

• Gravity, electromagnetism, strong interaction are same for matter and antimatter

• As the early Universe cooled,quarks and antiquarks annihilated

Nq +Nq

∼ 10−9

t < 10−6 s (T > 1013 K ∼ 1 GeV)

• The SM prediction is ∼1010 times smaller

[Nonzero! Sakharov conditions: (i) baryon number

violation; (ii) charge (C) and charge-parity (CP )

violation; (iii) deviation from thermal equilibrium]

• BSM source(s) of CP violation are requiredWhat is the microscopic theory of CP violation? How precisely can we probe it?

The standard model + neutrino mass

• Gauge symmetry: SU(3)c × SU(2)L × U(1)Y parameters

Gauge symmetry: 8 gluons W±, Z0, γ 3 (+θQCD)

• Particle content: 3 generations of quarks and leptons

Particle content: QL(3, 2)1/6, uR(3, 1)2/3, dR(3, 1)−1/3 10

What is flavor physics?

• Flavor≡what distinguishes generations? [breakU(3)Q×U(3)u×U(3)d×U(3)L×U(3)e]

Flavor ≡ rich and sensitive ways to probe the SM and search for NP

• SM flavor: hierarchy of masses and mixing angles? why 3 generations?SM flavor: Flavor in SM is simple: only Higgs – fermion couplings break flavor symmetries

• BSM flavor: TeV scale (hierarchy problem) � “naive” flavor & CP viol. scaleBSM flavor: Most TeV-scale new physics contain new sources of CP and flavor violation

BSM flavor: E.g., SUSY: ∼10× increase in flavor parameters (CP and flavor problems?)

BSM flavor: Generic TeV-scale flavor structure excluded ⇒ new mechanisms to reduce signals

• Flavor sector will be tested a lot better, many NP models have observable effects

• Any new particle that couples to quarks or leptons⇒ new flavor parameters(Understanding these param’s can be crucial; e.g., Higgs, or squark & slepton couplings [if exists])

Z L – p. 4

Quark and lepton mixing

• Fermions with same quantum numbers mix, Yukawas define mass eigenstates:

• If neutrinos are Majorana, multiply by: diag (eiα1/2, eiα2/2, 1)

The additional phases α1,2 don’t affect oscillation experiments, only lepton # viol.

Always think about mass eigenstates: if neutrino masses were larger, we wouldhave gotten used to thinking of π → µν2 and π → µν3, instead of π → µνµ

• Leptons (PMNS): θ12 ≈ 34◦ (solar), θ23 ≈ 48◦ (atm), θ13 ≈ 9◦, δ unknown

• Quarks (CKM): θ12 ≈ 13◦, θ23 ≈ 2.4◦, θ13 ≈ 0.2◦, δ ≈ 68◦

Z L – p. 5

Page 8: Flavor Physics Landscape - Stanford University

Spectacular track record

• Uncertainty principle ⇒ heavy particles, which cannot be produced, affect lowerenergy processes, E2/M2 suppressed if interference ⇒ probe very high scales

• High mass-scale sensitivity due to suppressed SM predictions

– Absence of KL → µµ⇒ charm quark (Glashow, Iliopoulos, Maiani, 1970)

– εK ⇒ 3rd generation (t, b quarks) (Kobayashi & Maskawa, 1973)

– ∆mK ⇒ mc ∼ 1.5 GeV (Gaillard & Lee; Vainshtein & Khriplovich, 1974)

Why is ∆mK/mK ≈ 7× 10−15 so small?

SM: ∆mK/mK ∼g4

– ∆mB ⇒mt >∼ 100 GeV (bound in 1987: 23 GeV)⇒ large CP violation & FCNC

• Critical in developing SM — it is only unambiguous since 1998 that mν 6= 0

What can future data tell us about BSM physics?

Z L – p. 6

Page 9: Flavor Physics Landscape - Stanford University

Very high scales probed

• Scales of dim-6 operators probed — various mechanisms devised to let TeV-scaleNP obey these bounds (Pattern and orders of magnitudes matter more than precise values)

[Abramowicz @ DPF 2019]

• Mu2e is probably the largest increase in mass-scale sensitivity in next 10–15 yrs

Z L – p. 7

Page 10: Flavor Physics Landscape - Stanford University

Some flavor-related questions

• Will LHC see new physics beyond the Higgs?

• Will NP be seen in the quark sector?Current data: several hints of lepton flavor universality violation (see later)

• Will NP be seen in charged lepton sector? µ→ eγ, µ→ eee, τ → µγ, τ → µµµ?

• Neutrinos: Is 3 flavor oscillation paradigm OK? What is the nature of ν mass?

• No one knows — an exploratory era!(n.b.: 2 generations + superweak is “more minimal” to accommodate CPV, than 3 generations...)

• Near future: “anomalies”, both in quark & lepton sector, might first be established

Long term: large increase in discovery potential in many modes

Z L – p. 8

Page 11: Flavor Physics Landscape - Stanford University

Outline

• Lepton flavor

Basic open questions, some processes very clean, quark flavor more broad

• Quark flavor

– Mode / model independent: Large improvements in NP sensitivity

NP <∼ (few × SM) → NP <∼ (0.3 × SM) → NP <∼ (0.04 × SM)(−15 yrs) (now) (+15 yrs)

– Mode / model specific: recent 2 – 4σ tensions⇒ lots of exp. & theory work

• Many exciting areas: Higgs & top, charged lepton flavor violation, EDM searches,

BSM scenarios may have nontrivial flavor: dark sectors, long lived particles, ...

(I’ll focus on the quark sector, richest in SM, leptons equally important, especially if there is NP)

• Solar neutrinos: δm2L/E � 1

• Two mass-squared differences are measured,but not the absolute mass scale

(Short baseline anomalies not easy to fit, e.g., w/ 4 flavors)

Z L – p. 10

Page 14: Flavor Physics Landscape - Stanford University

Neutrinos — a history of surprises

• Most theorists’ expectations around late 80’s – early 90’s:

– Solar neutrino problem will go away, we do not understand the Sun Wrong

– If it does not, solution must be small angle MSW, since it’s cute Wrong

– Expect ∆m223 ∼ 10− 100eV2, since it’s cosmologically interesting Wrong

– Expect θ23 ∼ Vcb ' 0.04, motivated by simplest GUTs Wrong

– Atmospheric neutrino anomaly will go away, because it requires large Wrongmixing angle — the first that became compelling (⇒ Nobel, 2002)

– Tribimaximal mixing ansatz predicted θ13 near zero Wrong

sin2 2θ13 ∼ 0.1 not too small — helps CP violation searches[inspired by H. Murayama]

• Experiments crucial, independent of prevailing theoretical “guidance”(Recall that CP violation was a surprise, as was B0 –B0 mixing, etc.)

Z L – p. 11

Page 15: Flavor Physics Landscape - Stanford University

Lepton vs. quark mixing

• Are the origin of quark and lepton masses & mixings related?

• Some lepton processes are especially clean; quark sector observables more rich

• Cannot directly measure neutrino mass eigenstates (possible for e, µ, τ and quarks)

• Neutrino FCNCs seem impossible to search for; e.g., νi → νj γ, X → νiνj(Y )

• Magnitudes of mixing matrix elements, assuming 3-generation unitarity:

[PDG 2018]

• SM flavor puzzle extended: why lepton & quark masses and mixings so different?

Z L – p. 12

Page 16: Flavor Physics Landscape - Stanford University

Neutrinos — many unknowns

• Are neutrinos = their own antiparticles?(Different than all other known particles? Theoretically favored, most leptogenesis models)

• What is the absolute mass scale?

We know two mass-squared differences

At least one state has mνi>∼ 50 meV

Cosmology:∑mi<0.12− 0.3 eV [Planck 2018]

(depends on assumptions; can relax, e.g., [1901.04352])

• Value of CP violating phase δ ?

• Is the mass hierarchy “normal” or “inverted”?

If inverted hierarchy: planned 0νββ experiments will beIf inverted hierarchy: able to determine if ν = ν or ν 6= ν

Normal hierarchy: may or may not see 0νββ, even in Majorana case

Z L – p. 13

Page 17: Flavor Physics Landscape - Stanford University

Charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV)

• Expect 104 better sensitivity (Mu2e, COMET)⇒ 10× higher mass scales probed!

• mν 6= 0 ⇒ lepton flavor is violated, no reason to impose it as a symmetry on NP

If there are new TeV-scale particles that carry lepton number (e.g., sleptons), thenthey have their own mixing matrices⇒ charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV)

• In many SUSY models (& other scenarios), NP in the quark and lepton sectorsmay originate from the same underlying physics

• Experimental sensitivity is at exciting level for complementarity with LHC searches

• Flavor vs. naturalness: heavier NP⇒ less constraints on its flavor structureFlavor vs. naturalness: “naturalness’ loss — flavor’s gain”

• CLFV measurements can discover NP signals due to TeV-scale NP with SM-likeflavor structure, or 10–1000 TeV NP with generic flavor⇒ cast a wide net

Z L – p. 14

Operators, patterns, connections

If coefficients are comparable, µ→ eγ gives much stronger bound already

Electric dipole moments

• SM + mν: CPV can occur in: (i) quark mixing; (ii) lepton mixing; and (iii) θQCD

Only observed δKM 6= 0, baryogenesis implies there must be more

• Neutron EDM bound: “the strong CP problem”, θQCD < 10−10 — axion?θQCD is negligible for CPV in flavor-changing processes

• EDMs from CKM: vanish at one- and two-loopEDMs from CKM: large suppression at three-loop level

• E.g., SUSY: quark and lepton EDMs can be generated at one-loop

Generic prediction (TeV-scale, no small param’s) above cur-rent bounds; if mSUSY ∼ O(10 TeV), may still discover EDMs

• Expected 102–103 improvements: complementary to LHCDiscovery would give (rough) upper bound on NP scale

Precision CKM tests with kaons

• CPV in K system is at the right level (εK accommodated with O(1) KM phase)

• Hadronic uncertainties preclude precision tests (ε′K notoriously hard to calculate)

Cannot yet rule out (nor prove) that the measured value of ε′K is dominated by NP(N.B.: bad luck in part — heavy mt enhanced hadronic uncertainties, but helps for B physics)

• With lattice QCD improvements, εK has become more sensitive, hopes for ε′/ε

Final remarks

Page 52: Flavor Physics Landscape - Stanford University

Very broad program: many directions

• Better tests of (exact or approximate) conservation laws

• Maximize sensitivity to τ → 3µ, τ → hµµ, etc.

• Exhaustive list of dark / hidden sector searches

• LFV meson decays, e.g., M0 → µ−e+, B+ → h+µ−e+, etc.

• Invisible modes, even baryonic, B → N + invis. [+mesons] [1708.01259]

• Hidden valley inspired scenarios, e.g., multiple displaced vertices, even with `+`−

• Exotic Higgs decays, e.g., high multiplicity, displaced vertices (H → XX → abab)

• Search for “quirks” (non-straight “tracks”) at LHCb using many velo layers

• I do not know how many CP violating quantities have been measured...neither how many new hadronic states discovered by BABAR, Belle, LHCb ...

Z L – p. 41

Page 53: Flavor Physics Landscape - Stanford University

What are the largest useful data sets?

• No one has seriously explored it! (Recall, Sanda, 2003: the question is not 1035 or 1036...)

• Which measurements will remain far from being limited by theory uncertainties?

– γ, theory limit only from higher order electroweak

– Bs,d → µµ, B → µν and other leptonic decays (lattice QCD, [double] ratios)

– CP violation in D mixing (firm up theory)

– Ad,sSL (work on exp. syst. issues)

– CLFV, EDM, etc.

• In some decay modes, even in 2030 we’ll have: (exp. bound)/

SM >∼ 103

E.g., B → e+e−, τ+τ− — can build models... (I hope to be proven wrong!)

• My guess: until 100× (Belle II & LHCb Phase 2), sensitivity to NP would improve

• FCC-ee in tera-Z phase could be the ultimate B factory!

Z L – p. 42

Page 54: Flavor Physics Landscape - Stanford University

10 points to conclude

• Flavor physics probes scales�1 TeV; sensitivity limited by statistics, not theory

• New physics in FCNCs may still be >∼ 20% of the SM

• Few tensions with SM; some of these (or others) could soon become decisive

• Precision tests of SM will improve in the next decade by 10–104 (esp. Mu2e)

• Discovering lepton universality violation would focus much more attention on LFV

• Discovering CLFV⇒ broad program to map out operator and generation structure

• Many interesting theoretical questions relevant for optimal experimental sensitivity

• Ample physics reasons to aim for data sets far beyond what’s envisioned so far

• We’ll learn a lot, whether NP is discovered or not (I’d like to know the Lagrangian!)

• If new physics is discovered, many new questions about its flavor structure

– And similarly in Bs decays, and for sin 2β(s) itself

– How big can CP violation be in D0 –D0 mixing (and in D decays) in the SM?

– Better understanding of semileptonic form factors; bound on SKSπ0γ in SM?

– Many lattice QCD calculations (operators within and beyond SM)

– Inclusive & exclusive semileptonic decays

– Factorization at subleading order (different approaches), charm loops

– Can direct CP asymmetries in nonleptonic modes be understood enough to– make them “discovery modes”? [SU(3), the heavy quark limit, etc.]

Bound on fa

FIG. 1: Bounds on fa as a function of tan β and mH for n = 1in Eq. (8), for m2

a ≪ m2B. For each displayed value of fa there

are two contour lines, and the region between them is allowedfor fa below the shown value. The bound disappears alongthe dashed curve, and gets generically weaker for larger tan β.

that LHCb should be able to carry out a precise mea-surement [40]. Interestingly, since the B → Ka signal isessentially a delta function in q2, the bound in Eq. (15)can be improved as experimental statistics increase byconsidering smaller and smaller bin sizes, without beinglimited by theoretical uncertainties in form factors [41](or by nonperturbative contributions [42]). The boundon fa will increase compared to the results we obtain inthe next section, simply by scaling with the bound on1/

√Br(B → Ka).

V. INTERPRETATION

We now derive the bounds on fa using the calculatedB → Ka branching ratio in Eq. (14) and the experimen-tal bound in Eq. (15). We start with the axion portalscenario with Br(a → µ+µ−) ∼ 100% and where sin θ isdefined in terms of fa by Eq. (8). We will then look atthe bound on more general scenarios, including the lightHiggs scenario in the NMSSM.

For the axion portal, Fig. 1 shows the constraints on fa

as a function of the charged Higgs boson mass mH andtanβ. For concreteness, we take n = 1; other values of ncorrespond to a trivial scaling of fa. In the mass rangein Eq. (1), the dependence on ma is negligible for settinga bound. The bound on fa is in the multi-TeV range forlow values of tanβ and weakens as tanβ increases. Ateach value of tanβ, there is a value of mH for which the

Bound on fa tan2Β !Large tan Β"

FIG. 2: The shaded regions of fa tan2 β are excluded in thelarge tan β limit. To indicate the region of validity of thelarge tan β approximation, the dashed (dotted) curve showsthe bound for tan β = 3 (tanβ = 1).

b → sa amplitude in Eq. (12) changes signs, indicated bythe dashed curve in Fig. 1, along which the bound dis-appears. Higher order corrections will affect where thiscancellation takes place, but away from a very narrow re-gion near this dashed curve, the derived bound is robust.The region tanβ < 1 is constrained by the top Yukawacoupling becoming increasingly nonpertubative; this re-gion is included in Figs. 1 and 3, nevertheless, to providea clearer illustration of the parametric dependence of thebounds.

As one goes to large values of tanβ, the X1 pieceof Eq. (12) dominates, and sin(2β)/2 = 1/ tanβ +O(1/ tan3 β). In this limit, the constraint takes a par-ticularly simple form that only depends on the combi-nation fa tan2 β, as shown in Fig. 2. Except in the re-gion close to mH ∼ 550 GeV, the bound is better thanfa tan2 β >∼ few × 10 TeV.

These B → Ka bounds are complementary to thoserecently set by BaBar [30] in Υ(nS) → γ a → γ µ+µ−:

fa>∼ (1.4 TeV) × sin2 β . (16)

For example, for mH ≃ 400 GeV, the Υ bound dominatesfor tanβ >∼ 5, while B → Ka dominates for tanβ <∼ 5.

The bounds in Figs. 1 and 2 apply for a generic axionportal model where mH and tanβ are free parameters.One would like some sense of what the expected valuesof mH and tanβ might be in a realistic model. Ref. [8]considered a specific scenario based on the PQ-symmetricNMSSM [31]. In that model small tanβ is preferred,since large tanβ requires fine-tuning the Higgs potential.In addition, mH is no longer a free parameter and isapproximately related to the mass of the lightest CP -even scalar s0 via

TeV scale with SM-like CKM and loop suppressions∼103 TeV scale with generic flavor structure

Kaon bounds on NP are often the strongest, since so are the SM suppressionsThis has been an input to (and not output from) model building — suppression mechanisms devised to be viable

• We do not know where NP will show up⇒ sensitivity to highest scales is crucial
