65. SUSY GUTs of Flavour

Prof. Steve King

20/06/2018, 14:30

In this talk we discuss SUSY GUTs with Discrete Flavour Symmetry (with or without extra dimensions), and their phenomenological implications for SUSY searches and flavour violating processes.

77. … or naturallessness

Prof. Kimmo Tuominen

20/06/2018, 15:00

Physics beyond the Standard Model is undeniably needed, but the clues for its precise nature are sparse. I will first review some concepts related to naturalness as a model building guide and its alternatives. Then I will discuss few model building examples, also in light of the current experimental and observational results.

68. Conformal symmetry: towards the link between the Fermi and the Planck scales

Prof. Mikhail Shaposhnikov

TBA

72. Conformal Extensions of the Standard Model

Prof. Manfred Lindner

20/06/2018, 16:30

The talk will cover reasons and obstacles for conformally symmetric extensions of the standard model. Furthermore models which realize the underlying ideas and their phenomenology will be discussed.

43. Quantum scale symmetry in particle physics, gravity and cosmology

Prof. Christof Wetterich

20/06/2018, 17:00

Quantum scale symmetry arises at fixed points of the flow of couplings as an exact symmetry. Particle scale symmetry is related to the second order character of the vacuum electroweak phase transition. It makes the gauge hierarchy technically natural.
In the context of quantum gravity even the tiny dimensionless ratio Fermi scale over Planck scale may be explained. Gravity scale symmetry is...
