    Unparticle Self-Interactions and Their Collider Implications

    Full text link
    In unparticle physics, operators of the conformal sector have self-interactions, and these are unsuppressed for strong coupling. The 3-point interactions are completely determined by conformal symmetry, up to a constant. We do not know of any theoretical upper bounds on this constant. Imposing current experimental constraints, we find that these interactions mediate spectacular collider signals, such as pp>U>UU>γγγγpp -> U -> UU -> \gamma \gamma \gamma \gamma, γγZZ\gamma \gamma ZZ, ZZZZZZZZ, γγl+l\gamma \gamma l^+ l^-, ZZl+lZZ l^+ l^-, and 4l4l, with cross sections of picobarns or larger at the Large Hadron Collider. Self-interactions may therefore provide the leading discovery prospects for unparticle physics.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures; v2: published versio
