Outline

• Conclusion
• Lepton flavor violation at EIC
• Weak mixing angle at EIC
• Introduction: symmetry of SM
3
Standard Model: symmetry and symmetry breaking
3
• Symmetries breaking:
EW gauge symmetry breaking;
Many accidental global symmetries L, B, B-L, LF…;
QCD and EW gauge symmetries;
• Symmetries:
Broken discrete symmetries C, P, CP;
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking;
4
LFV: e-tau conversion at EIC
(Based on talks by M. Gonderinger and A. Deshpande in INT workshop)
5
Accidental symmetries of SM
• violated by irrelevant operators – induced by new physics
• L, B, B-L, LF…
• respected by relevant operators in SM - specific quantum numbers of SM fields
• global symmetries (may or may not be gauged);
• violated in extension of SM - new fields carrying new quantum numbers
Search for BSM by search for violation of these symmetries

Flavor & CP problem for BSM
• What about the new physics scale?
high enough to suppress flavor and CP violations;
low enough to stabilize the EW breaking scale;
Hunted for long time but not found (mostly involving first-two
generations).
Solution: treat the 3rd generation differently
“More minimal SUSY”, Cohen, Kaplan, Nelson 1996;“Warped Extra Dim.”, Randall, Sundrum 1999;
Large FV and CPV associated with 3rd generation

LFV of tau
• Various processes:
Magnetic moment operator ;
e-tau conversion (e p->tau, X);
tau -> 3 e;
• Various operators:
4-fermion operators;
tau -> e, gamma;

Scenarios of Higgs mechanism
• Higgsless models;
• Composite Higgs as a PGB;
• Fundamental Higgs: hierarchy problem
Georgi-Kaplan model;
Extra Dim; SUSY;
Technicolor;
So many models, need experimental evidence!

To ping down the EW symmetry breaking
• Indirect searchs via precision tests
• Direct search at high energy collider
KK modes; SM Higgs;
Low energy tests of neutral current;
SUSY particles; other exotics;
What can EIC do on this?
Z-pole measurements;
Major motivation for LHC!

Weak mixing at EIC
• The ugly:
Large uncertainty with the polarized PDFs;
High energy:
higher asymmetry, wide coverage of Q.
• The good: Both beam polarized;
Low luminosity ( ) compared to fixed target experiments ;
• The bad:-1-235,34,33 sec cm 10
Large uncertainty (5%) with the hadron beam polarization;
