Electroweak gauge theory à massless!
“ The Lagrangian of the system may display an symmetry, but the ground state does not respect the same symmetry.”
Known Example: Ferromagnetism
Above a critical temperature, the system is
symmetric, magnetic dipoles randomly oriented.
Below a critical temperature, the ground state is a completely ordered configuration in which
all dipoles are ordered in some arbitrary direction SO(3) à SO(2)
The Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
Low temperature super-conductivity is another example!
The concept of SSB: profound, common.
Except the photon, no massless boson
(a long-range force carrier) has been seen in Nature!
(Recall Pauli’s criticism)
The Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking:
Brilliant idea & common phenomena, confronts the Nambu-Goldstone theorem!
-- A show stopper ?
The Nambu-Goldstone Theorem
“If a continuous symmetry of the system is spontaneously broken, then there will appear a massless degree of freedom,
called the Nambu-Goldstone boson.”
“If a LOCAL gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken, then the gauge boson acquires a mass by absorbing the Goldstone mode.”

These possibilities are associated with totally di↵erent underlying dynam- ics for electroweak symmetry breaking than the SM, requiring new physics beyond the Higgs around the weak scale. They also have radically di↵er- ent theoretical implications for naturalness, the hierarchy problem and the structure of quantum field theory.
The leading di↵erence between these possibilities shows up in the cubic Higgs self-coupling. In the SM, minimizing the potential gives v2 = 2|m|2/ . Expanding around this minimum h = (v + H)/p

Consider the example with the quartic balancing against a sextic and, for the sake of simplicity to illustrate the point, let’s take the limit where the m2 term in the potential can be neglected. The potential is now minimized for v2 = 2| |⇤2, and we find m2H = v2, µ = 7m2H/v = (7/3)µSM, giving an O(1) deviation in the cubic Higgs coupling relative to the SM. In the case with the non-analytic (h†h)2 log(h†h) potential, the cubic self-coupling is µ = (5/3)µSM.
Even larger departures from the standard picture are possible — we don’t even know whether the dynamics of symmetry breaking is well-approximated by a single light, weakly coupled scalar, as there may be a number of light scalars, and not all of them need be weakly coupled!

Figure 8: Question of the nature of the electroweak phase transition.
Understanding this physics is also directly relevant to one of the most fun- damental questions we can ask about any symmetry breaking phenomenon, which is what is the order of the associated phase transition. Is the elec- troweak transition a cross-over, or might it have been strongly first-order instead? And how do we attack this question experimentally? This question is another obvious next step following the Higgs discovery: having understood

2. The Electroweak Phase Transition 2.1. General Remarks
For decades, particle physics has been driven by the question of what breaks the electroweak symmetry. With the discovery of the Higgs, we have discovered the broad outlines of the answer to this question: the symmetry breaking is associated with at least one weakly coupled scalar field. However, this gives us only a rough picture of the physics, leaving a number of zeroth order questions wide open that must be addressed experimentally, but can- not be definitively settled at the LHC. These questions include what is the shape of the symmetry breaking potential, and how is electroweak symmetry restored at high scales.
The SM picture for electroweak symmetry breaking follows the Landau- Ginzburg parametrization of second-order phase transitions,
V (h) = m2hh†h + 1
2 (h†h)2, (5)
with m2h < 0 and > 0. This is the simplest picture theoretically, and the one we would expect on the grounds of e↵ective field theory, in which we include the leading relevant and marginal operators to describe low energy physics. On the other hand, as we will review in more detail in our discussion of naturalness, this picture is far from innocuous or “obviously correct” — for instance it is precisely this starting point that leads to the all vexing mysteries of the hierarchy problem!
The central scientific program directly continuing from the discovery of the Higgs must thus explore whether this simplest parametrization of elec- troweak symmetry breaking is actually the one realized in Nature. And while we have discovered the Higgs, we are very far from having confirmed this pic- ture experimentally. As illustrated in Fig. 8, the LHC will only probe the small, quadratic oscillations around the symmetry breaking vacuum, without giving us any idea of the global structure of the potential. For example, the potential could trigger symmetry breaking by balancing a negative quartic against a positive sextic [14, 15, 16], i.e.
V (h) ! m2h(h†h) + 1
2 (h†h)2 + 1
3!⇤2(h†h)3, (6) with < 0. The potential might not even be well-approximated by a poly- nomial function, and may instead be fundamentally non-analytic, as in the
17
early Coleman-Weinberg proposal for symmetry breaking [17]:
V (h) ! 1
2 (h†h)2log
(h†h)
m2 . (7)
These possibilities are associated with totally di↵erent underlying dynam- ics for electroweak symmetry breaking than the SM, requiring new physics beyond the Higgs around the weak scale. They also have radically di↵er- ent theoretical implications for naturalness, the hierarchy problem and the structure of quantum field theory.

The thick red curve shows the cross section expected from the Higgs-strahlung process e+e− → HZ, and the thin red curve shows the fraction corresponding to the Z → ν ¯ν decays. The blue and pink curves stand for the WW and ZZ fusion processes (hence leading to the Hνeν¯e and He+e− final states), including their interference with the Higgs-strahlung process. The green curve displays the total production cross section. The dashed vertical lines indicate the centre-of-mass energies at which TLEP is expected to run for five years each, √

rapidly decreasing with the new physics scale Λ, typically like 1/Λ2. For Λ = 1 TeV, departures up to 5% are expected [7, 8]. To discover new physics through its effects on the Higgs boson couplings with a significance of 5σ, it is therefore necessary to measure these couplings to fermions and gauge bosons with a precision of at least 1%, and at the per-mil level to reach sensitivity to Λ larger than 1 TeV, as suggested at by the negative results of the searches at the LHC.
The number of Higgs bosons expected to be produced, hence the integrated luminosity delivered by the collider, are therefore key elements in the choice of the right Higgs factory for the future of high-energy physics: a per-mil accuracy cannot be reached with less than a million Higgs bosons. The Higgs production cross section (obtained with the HZHA generator [39]), through the Higgs-strahlung process e+e− → HZ and the WW or ZZ fusion processes, is displayed in figure 7. A possible operational centre-of-mass energy is around 255 GeV, where the total production cross section is maximal and amounts to 210 fb.
The luminosity profile of TLEP as a function of the centre-of-mass energy (figure 3) leads to choose a slightly smaller value, around 240 GeV, where the total number of Higgs bosons produced is maximal, as displayed in figure 8. The number of WW fusion events has a broad maximum for centre-of-mass energies between 280 and 360 GeV. It is therefore convenient to couple the analysis of the WW fusion with the scan of the t¯t threshold, at
√s around 350 GeV, where the background from the Higgs-strahlung process is smallest and most separated from the WW fusion signal.

contours of the two di↵erent search strategies.
The searches proposed here also have good discriminating power away from the massless neutralino limit. A 1.5 TeV stop could be discovered in the compressed region of parameter space. It is possible to exclude neutralino masses up to 2 TeV in most of the parameter space.
All of the results presented here have been obtained with very minimal cut-flows that do not rely on b-tagging or jet substructure techniques. Additional refinements should increase the search sensitivity, at the price of making assumptions on the future detector design.

FIG. 5: Projected discovery potential [left] and exclusion limits [right] for 3000 fb 1 of total integrated luminosity. At each signal point, the significance is obtained by taking the smaller CLs between the heavy stop and compressed spectra search strategies, and converting CLs to number of ’s. The blue and black contours (dotted) are the expected (±1 ) exclusions/discovery contours using the heavy stop and compressed spectra searches.
D. Di↵erent Luminosities
An open question in the design for the 100 TeV proton-proton collider is the luminosity that is necessary to take full advantage of the high center of mass energy. As cross sections fall with increased center of mass energy, one should expect that higher energy colliders require more integrated luminosity to fulfill their potential. The necessary luminosity typically scales quadratically with the center of mass energy, meaning that one should expect that the 100 TeV proton-proton collider would need roughly 50 times the luminosity of the LHC at 14 TeV.
This section shows the scaling of our search strategy as a function of the number of collected events. As the luminosity changes, we re-optimize the /ET cut. For integrated

As has been long appreciated, it is quite remarkable that the TeV scale emerges so naturally in this way, assuming dark matter couplings comparable in strength to the electroweak gauge interactions. This gives a strong, direct argument for new physics at the TeV scale, independent of any theoretical notions of naturalness.
Compellingly, dark matter often falls out of theories of physics beyond the SM without being put in by hand. Indeed, if the SM is augmented by new physics, not even necessarily close to the weak scale, but far beneath the GUT scale, the interactions with new states should respect baryon and lepton number to a very high degree. Since all SM particles are neutral under the discrete symmetry ( 1)B+L+2S, any new particles that are odd under this symmetry will be exactly stable. This is the reason for the ubiquitous presence of dark matter candidates in BSM physics. It is thus quite plausible that the dark matter is just one part of a more complete sector of TeV- scale physics; this has long been a canonical expectation, with the dark matter identified as e.g. the lightest neutralino in a theory with TeV-scale supersymmetry. The dominant SUSY processes at hadron colliders are of course the production of colored particles—the squarks and gluinos—which then decay, often in a long cascade of processes, to SM particles and the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), resulting in the well known missing energy signals at hadron colliders. This indirect production of dark matter dominates, by far, the direct production of dark matter particles through electroweak processes.
However, as emphasized in our discussion of naturalness, it is also worth preparing for the possibility of a much more sparse spectrum of new particles at the TeV scale. Indeed, if the idea of naturalness fails even slightly, the motivation for a very rich set of new states at the hundreds-of-GeV scale evaporates, while the motivation for WIMP dark matter at the TeV scale still remains. This is for instance part of the philosophy leading to models of split SUSY: in the minimal incarnation, the scalars and the second Higgs doublet of the MSSM are pushed to ⇠ 102 103 TeV, but the gauginos (and perhaps the higgsinos) are much lighter, protected by an R-symmetry. The scalars are not so heavy as to obviate the need for R-parity, so the LSP is

background, which is varied between 1 2%, generating the bands in the plot.
Naively scaling by total event rates the systematics from current ATLAS studies [66] (see Ref. [67] for the CMS study) would yield 0.5% for 3000 fb 1, but this is clearly overly optimistic. Choosing the systematic error ⇠ 1 2%
as we have done may also be optimistic, but it sets a reasonable benchmark, and underscores that minimizing these systematics should be a crucial factor taken into account in the design of the 100 TeV detectors. Given the same integrated luminosity, the monojet search increases the reach relative to the LHC by nearly a factor of 5, as shown in the left panel of Fig. 20 .
Due to the tiny mass splitting m = 166 MeV between the chargino and the neutralino, the decay lifetime can be long. The resulting disappearing
