What Lies Beyond the Standard Model in Particle Physics?

Higgs field.In summary, "Beyond the Standard Model" is a review of recent developments in attempts to go beyond the Standard Model. The main unresolved problems discussed include the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, expected new physics at the TeV scale (specifically SUSY), and the origin of Dark matter. The paper also includes a link to the original source and comments on the Higgs field.

Report-no: 2006

Review of recent developments in attempts to go beyond the Standard Model is given. We concentrate on three main unresolved problems: mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, expected new physics at the TeV scale (mainly SUSY) and the origin of the Dark matter.


For our edification and discussion.

There are so many gems to be found on hep-ph and hep-lat. Don't sell them short!

FAQ: What Lies Beyond the Standard Model in Particle Physics?

What is the Standard Model?

The Standard Model is a theory in particle physics that describes the fundamental particles and their interactions. It is currently the best understanding we have of the building blocks of matter and their behavior.

What are the limitations of the Standard Model?

The Standard Model does not include gravity, which is described by the theory of general relativity. It also does not fully explain certain phenomena such as dark matter and dark energy. Additionally, it does not provide a framework for unifying all the fundamental forces.

What is Beyond the Standard Model?

Beyond the Standard Model refers to theories and models that attempt to address the limitations of the Standard Model by proposing new particles, forces, and interactions. These theories aim to explain the remaining mysteries of the universe, such as the nature of dark matter and the unification of all fundamental forces.

What evidence is there for Beyond the Standard Model theories?

There are several pieces of evidence that suggest the Standard Model is incomplete. For example, the existence of dark matter and dark energy cannot be explained by the Standard Model. Additionally, experiments at the Large Hadron Collider have not yet discovered any new particles predicted by the Standard Model, which indicates the need for new physics.

How are scientists searching for evidence of Beyond the Standard Model theories?

Scientists are using a variety of methods to search for evidence of Beyond the Standard Model theories. These include experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, observations of cosmic rays and neutrinos, and studies of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Researchers are also using theoretical models and simulations to make predictions and guide their search for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
