Hi Michael and Chip,
In the V4 version of the executive summary, the last part of the first
paragraph of the energy frontier section reads "Questions about the
Higgs boson also inspire the search for the dark matter particles and
for flavor-changing rare decays, since in both cases, the motivating
theory often comes from models of the Higgs and its role in
symmetry-breaking." I found this to be a bit confusing.
It is true that the new physics scenarios addressing the naturalness
of Higgs mass (such as SUSY, compositeness) sometimes contains dark
matter candidate, and have flavor structure (problem). However, there
are plenty of other motivations for both the search for dark matter
(they exist) and deviations in rare decays (flavor puzzle), other than
its possible connection with the Higgs. Perhaps we should say there
are well motivated searches for dark matter and new contributions to
rare decays. Then say they can also have interesting connections to
Higgs.
best, Liantao

hi,
One comment on the Global Exec Summary - on the last page, there is a nice
list of 10 HEP questions. In question 9, there is a phrase "the problem of
the Higgs boson" which seems nebulous and dangling, i.e. "which problem ??"
Presumably this is referring to the naturalness of the Higgs potential
parameters. Is there some non-jargon phrase that can be added to explain
what problem this is referring to? Something like "….are motivated by the
conundrum of maintaining a light Higgs boson mass in a quantum theory, and…"
regards,
Ashutosh

hi
During our conversation:
Here's what we got during our phone conversation. Ignore the Energy Frontier
words, since we're working on them. This shows the status of the
Capabilities and other stuff.

Seems I neglected to actually attach the document.....sorry. Here it is.

Hi All,
Here is version 4 - already! I inserted all of Jon's and Gil's comments and
Jonathan's new version of the big questions to the best of my ability.
Inexplicably, Jon's and Gil's line numbers did not correspond with my
version. Go figure. One comment on Gil's corrections, is that I think both
Harry and I felt strongly that it actually was a realization at Snowmass
that neutrino physics has entered the precision era. So I left that phrase
in the text.
Re Jonathan's revision of the questions - they look good to me! I left in
the first "How do we understand" phrase for the Higgs boson, as it seems to
be very accurate there.
Keep sending your comments!
-JoAnne
