P violation in weak force & BSM

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the violation of parity by the weak force and its potential connection to symmetry breaking in the SU(2)xU(1) gauge group, alongside the role of mirror matter. Participants explore the possibility of other mechanisms, besides mirror matter, that could restore symmetry and address the Hierarchy Problem through heavy partners of Standard Model (SM) particles. The conversation references specific theories such as Supersymmetry (SUSY), Little Higgs, and Lee-Wick SM, highlighting their relevance in canceling quantum contributions. Additionally, the concept of mirror matter emerging from the E8xE8 gauge group is examined, suggesting implications for dark matter and the existence of parallel universes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics
  • Familiarity with gauge groups, specifically SU(2)xU(1) and E8xE8
  • Knowledge of the Hierarchy Problem in theoretical physics
  • Basic concepts of mirror matter and its implications in particle physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of E8xE8 gauge theory in particle physics
  • Study the role of Supersymmetry (SUSY) in addressing the Hierarchy Problem
  • Explore the concept of kinetic ghosts in the Lee-Wick Standard Model
  • Investigate alternative theories for restoring gauge symmetry beyond mirror matter
USEFUL FOR

The discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, particle physicists, and researchers interested in advanced concepts of symmetry breaking, mirror matter, and their implications for the Standard Model and beyond.

some inquiries

1. Is it possible parity being violated by the weak force is because of further symmetry breaking of SU(2)xU(1) (besides the higgs field) ? Any papers about this?

2. I read in wiki that that mirror matter can recover the symmetry. What else (beside mirror matter) could restore the symmetry as it doesn't make sense something could be violated in a perfect gauge symmetry.

3. Lastly. If there were mirror matter.. Has anyone tried to tweak it so it can be used possible solution to the Hierarchy Problem... the mirror matter able to cancel some quantum contributions to avoid turning Higgs mass to Planck mass? In the following:

"• If you want to retain naturalness, then given that the LHC has indeed found
a seemingly fundamental lightish Higgs, you are pushed to invoke some
kind of heavy partners of SM particles to cancel the apparent quadratic
sensitivity to the cut-off

• Thus:
• SUSY (partners have different spin, symmetry enforces cancellations)
• Little Higgs (partners have same spin, symmetry enforces cancellations)
• Lee-Wick SM (partners have same spin but are kinetic ghosts)"

4. Could mirror matter be made into kinetic ghosts?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
1. No. No.
2. Nothing, this is an observed fact.
3. No.
4. No.

You probably should learn the SM before speculating about beyond the SM.

Mirror matter is supposed to come from the 2nd group of the higher symmetry E8xE8 gauge group. What other symmetry groups can form mirror matter?
Earlier I was thinking the mirror matter just formed without symmetry breaking from any higher group.. or just part of the SU(2)xU(1). I wonder if this latter is still possible. Any mirror matter experts (or semi experts) here? As review about E8 x E8. https://universe-review.ca/R15-18-string04.htm

"As for the other half of the E8 X E8 gauge group, some physicists hypothesize that this gauge group corresponds to two universes, each belonging to the smaller symmetry pattern E8 by itself. Thus, in addition to our own universe, there is a new, hypothetical universe, a shadow world as it were. Other than the gravitational force, each E8 group describes its own universe, its own pattern of particles and forces. The elementary particles in one group are effectively invisible, or hidden, when viewed from the other group. This hypothesis could provide an explanation for dark matter, which is unseen but is responsible for holding astronomical objects together by gravitational force."
