5. Is the Universe Made of These?

6. Quantum Forces In Quantum Field Theory, particles interact via:. Exchange of virtual particles Electrons interact by exchanging: Virtual Photons Quarks interact by exchanging: Virtual Gluons

7. Weak Interaction A force very like electromagnetism; but acts on Weak Charge In Fact, electromagnetism and weak force are aspects of unified electroweak force Electric charge and weak charge are related Three “force carriers”

8. Higgs Boson Electromagnetism on its own can be made to give finite results for all calculations. Unified Electroweak theory gives infinite results for process like: Become finite if include new particle Higgs boson Higgs makes massive, and actually generates masses of all particles. It is a quantum field permeating the universe.

9. How Does Higgs Generate Mass? In vacuum, a photon: has velocity c and has zero mass In glass a photon has velocity < c, same as an effective mass This is due to photon interacting with electromagnetic field in condensed matter By analogy can understand masses of particles generated by Higgs Field in vacuum

10. Grand Unification. At a high enough energy electromagnetism weak force strong (colour) force become aspects of Grand Unified Force

12. The Universe is Expanding Its ultimate fate depends on density of matter and energy If, the density of matter and energy is greater that a critical density the universe will start to contract If is less than the critical density, the universe will continue to expand. Usually measure the density in units of spherical space-time: contraction flat space-time: expansion hyperbolic space-time: expansion

13. Experimental Mystery Density of Standard Model Matter If Universe is made of quarks & leptons Find Density of all gravitationally interacting matter Most of Universe is not Standard Model matter. Some kind of Dark Matter

14. Measuring Amazingly enough can measure total matter/energy density in universe Measure temperature fluctuations in remnant of fireball from Big Bang. Map of sky temp ~ 3 Kelvin

15. Boomerang: Measuring Fluctuations in Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. Gondola with temperature measuring “telescope” Flight path over Antarctica Readying for launch Mount Terror forms a backdrop.

16. Need for Supersymmetry In Grand Unified Theories cannot Unify forces, unless postulate unseen form of matter Higgs mass runs away to Plank Scale Three forces never have same strength Unless all particles have supersymmetric sparticle partners (of higher mass) + Sleptons Bosinos Squarks Spin 1 Spin1/2

17. SUSY + Dark Matter Supersymmetric Particles are unstable Eventually decay chain ends in Normal matter + lightest SUSY particle Lightest SUSYparticle cannot interact with normal matter Lightest SUSY particle good candidate for Dark Matter Hope to produce (SUSY - antiSUSY ) pairs and Higgs at Large Hadron Collider

18. How to Make Matter / AntiMatter? LHC will be proton - proton collider Fermilab is proton - antiproton HERA is electron - proton Colliding high energy beams Energy of beams transformed into mass of new particles
