Emergent Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
Yanou Cui - University of California, Riverside
We explore a new scenario explaining mass origin of standard model (SM) particles without a Higgs boson. In this framework SM W, Z gauge bosons and fermions are composites getting masses from confinement of substructure at IR (conformal symmetry breaking). Therefore here SM electroweak gauge… -
Theoretical Constraints on the Higgs Effective Couplings.
Ian Low - Argonne National Laboratory
We derive constraints on the sign of couplings in an effective Higgs Lagrangian using prime principles such as the naturalness principle, global symmetries, and unitarity. Specifically, we study four dimension-six operators, O_H, O_y, O_g, and O_gamma, which contribute to the production and decay of… -
Unusual Higgs Decays in Low-Scale Gauge Mediation
David Morrissey - TRIUMF
In generalized models of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking, a standard model-like Higgs boson can decay to pairs of neutralino superpartners. If the energy scale of supersymmetry breaking is very low, each of these neutralinos will subsequently decay promptly to a photon and a gravitino. This… -
Classical and Quantum SUSY Breaking Effects in IIB String Models
Senarath de Alwis - University of Colorado Boulder
The calculation of soft supersymmery breaking terms type IIB string theoretic models is discussed. Both classical and quantum contributions are evaluated. The suppression of FCNC gives a lower bound on the size of the compactification volume. Essentially what is obtained is a sequestered theory with… -
Local Conformal Symmetry and its Violation at Quantum Level
Ilya Shapiro - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora
We present a short review of the local conformal symmetry and its anomalous violation in curved $4d$ space-time. Furthermore we discuss the ambiguities of conformal anomaly and the anomaly-induced effective actions. Despite the conformal symmetry is always broken at quantum level, it is useful for… -
Lessons from black holes -- Equations of motion, scales & effective coupling of quantum gravity
Ramy Brustein - Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
We use black holes to understand some basic properties of theories of quantum gravity. First, we apply ideas from black hole physics to the physics of accelerated observers to show that the equations of motion of generalized theories of gravity are equivalent to the thermodynamic relation $\delta Q… -
Screening effects in plasma with charged Bose condensate
Alexander Dolgov - National Institute for Nuclear Physics
The screening of electric charge in plasma with Bose condensate of a charged scalar field is calculated. In all previous calculations before 2009 the effects of Bose condensation have not been considered. Due to the condensate the time-time component of the photon polarization tensor in addition to… -
Emergent Electroweak Gravity
Bob McElrath - European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)
The relic neutrino background contains a gapless, spin-2 sound mode, as well as a spin-1 mode if there is a neutrino-antineutrino asymmetry. The self-coupling of the spin-2 mode is given by Z boson exchange in the Standard Model and is parametrically similar to Newton's constant given the expected… -
Implications of the cosmic ray anomalies on DM particles
Pierre Salati - Laboratoire d'Annecy-le-Vieux de Physique Théorique (LAPTH)
The particle physics community is bubbling with excitement since the recent discovery in the cosmic radiation of a positron and electron excess at high energy. This may be the first indirect hint that dark matter particles wander in the halo of the Milky Way. However, these species do not seem to… -
Minimal Electroweak Scale Cosmology at the LHC
Michael Ramsey-Musolf - University of Wisconsin–Madison
It is well known that new physics at the electroweak scale could solve important puzzles in cosmology, such as the nature of dark matter and the origin of the cosmic baryon asymmetry. In this talk, I discuss some of the simplest, non-supersymmetric possibilities, their collider signatures, and the… -
A Fertile Patch in the Heterotic Landscape
Stuart Raby - Ohio State University
In this talk I describe the progress that we have made in the constuction of string vacua with many of the features of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). -
Discovery and Identification of s-channel Resonances at the LHC
Stephen Godfrey - Carleton University
s-channel resonances are predicted by many models of Physics Beyond the Standard Model and it is quite possible that such an object will be discovered in the early years of the LHC program. If this occurs, the task will be to understand its origins. A brief survey of models that predict s-channel…
