Fundamental questions in
elementary particle physics
What are the elementary
constituents of matter?
 What are forces acting
between them?
 How has the Universe
begun and evolved?

3
Why TeV scale?



This is the scale of the weak interaction, in modern
language, the Higgs vacuum expectation value (~246
GeV).
We expect to fine a Higgs boson and “New Physics”
associated to the electroweak symmetry breaking.
The answer to the question “what is the physics behind
the electroweak symmetry breaking?” is a crucial
branching point for the future of particle physics.
Supersymmetry vs.
Low cut-off theory (Little Higgs models, models with
large extra-dimension, etc.)
4
Why do we expect physics beyond the
Standard Model?



We do not know how the Higgs field arises.
There are evidences which require new particles and/or
new interactions.
Neutrino mass
Dark matter
Baryon-anti-baryon asymmetry of the Universe
Expectation of Unification.
GUT, Superstring
5
Why do we need both LHC & ILC?


Two machines have different characters.
Advantage of lepton colliders:
e+ and e- are elementary particle
(well-defined kinematics).
Less background than LHC experiments.
Beam polarization, energy scan.
g - g, e- g, e- e- options, Z pole option.
LHC
ILC
6
Goals of ILC physics
Higgs physics (Electroweak symmetry breaking
and mass generation mechanism of quarks,
leptons, and gauge bosons.)
 New physics signals
Direct search for new particles and interactions.
Indirect search for new physics effects
through the SM particle processes.
Capability of precise measurements of various
quantities is a key.

7
Higgs physics


A Higgs boson will be discovered at LHC as long
as its properties (production/decay) is similar to
the SM Higgs boson.
In order to study the Higgs mechanism at work,
Higgs couplings to various particles have to be
measured precisely.

New physics effects in Higgs boson couplings

In many new physics models, the Higgs sector is
extended and /or involves new interactions. The Higgs
boson coupling can have sizable deviation from the SM
prediction.

Direct searches for New Physics




Some type of new signals is expected around 1TeV
range, if New Physics is related to a solution of the
hierarchy problem. (SUSY, Large extra-dimension, etc )
The first signal of New Physics is likely to be obtained at
LHC. (ex. squarks up to 2.5 TeV at LHC)
ILC experiments are necessary to figure out what is New
Physics, by measuring spin, quantum numbers,
coupling constants of new particles, and finding lower
mass particles which may escape detection at LHC.
Beam polarization, energy scan, and well-defined initial
kinematics play important roles in ILC studies.

Z’ and e+e-->ff processes
Z’ coupling determination at ILC
Even if ILC at 500 GeV cannot produce
a new Z’ particle kinematically,we can
determine left-handed and right-handed
couplings from ee-> ff processes.
This will give important information
to identify the correct theory.

Conclusions




The LHC experiment is expected to open a new era of
the high energy physics by finding a Higgs boson and
other new particles.
Establishing the mass generation mechanism is the
urgent question. This will be achieved by precise
determination of the Higgs couplings, and ILC will play
essential roles.
In order to explore New Physics, Higgs coupling
measurements, direct study of new particles and new
phenomena, and indirect searches through SM
processes are all important at ILC.
TeV physics explored at LHC and ILC will lead to new
understanding of unification and cosmology.
