Conformal technicolor is a paradigm for new physics at the LHC that may solve the problems of strong electroweak symmetry breaking for quark masses and precision electroweak data. We give explicit examples of conformal technicolor theories based on a QCD-like sector. We suggest a practical method to test the conformal dynamics of these theories on the lattice.

Exploring Models for New Physics on the Lattice

Strongly-coupled gauge theories are an important ingredient in the construction of many extensions of the standard model, particularly for models of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the Higgs…

Hunting for the Conformal Window

Undeniably, the imminent activity of LHC and the quest for the nature of physics beyond the standard model have raised renewed interest in the conformal and quasi-conformal behaviour of gauge field…

Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking on the Lattice

The LHC is expected to find new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Technicolor models are a class of BSM models which involve a new strongly interacting sector responsible for electroweak…

The conformal window on the lattice

Lattice simulations can play an important role in the study of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking by providing quantitative results on the nonperturbative dynamics of candidate theories. For…

Conformal Dynamics for TeV Physics and Cosmology

We introduce the topic of dynamical breaking of the electroweak symmetry and its link to unparticle physics and cosmology. The knowledge of the phase diagram of strongly coupled theories plays a…

Minimal conformal technicolor and precision electroweak tests

We study the minimal model of conformal technicolor, an SU(2) gauge theory near a strongly coupled conformal fixed point, with conformal symmetry softly broken by technifermion mass terms. Conformal…

Superconformal technicolor: Models and phenomenology

In supersymmetric theories with a strong conformal sector, soft supersymmetry breaking naturally gives rise to confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in the strong sector at the TeV scale. We…

Flavor in minimal conformal technicolor

We construct a complete, realistic, and natural UV completion of minimal conformal technicolor that explains the origin of quark and lepton masses and mixing angles. As in “bosonic technicolor,” we…

Light asymmetric dark matter from new strong dynamics

A ~5 GeV `dark baryon' with a cosmic asymmetry similar to that of baryons is a natural candidate for the dark matter. We study the possibility of generating such a state through dynamical electroweak…

Phase diagram of SU(2) with 2 flavors of dynamical adjoint quarks

We report on numerical simulations of SU(2) lattice gauge theory with two flavors of light dynamical quarks in the adjoint of the gauge group. The dynamics of this theory is thought to be very…

Lattice study of the conformal window in QCD-like theories.

The extent of the conformal window for an SU(3) gauge theory with N{f} Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation is studied to present lattice evidence that the infrared behavior is governed by a fixed point.

The Physical spectrum of conformal SU(N) gauge theories

We investigate the physical spectrum of vector-like SU(N) gauge theories with infrared coupling close to but above the critical value for a conformal phase transition. We use dispersion relations,…

The little Higgs from a simple group

We present a model of electroweak symmetry breaking in which the Higgs boson is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson. By embedding the standard models SU(2) × U(1) into an SU(4) × U(1) gauge group,…
