Focus Meeting on Fundamental Composite Dynamics: "From the Lattice via Colliders into the Sky"

IBS CTPU, Daejeon, Rep. of Korea, December 4.-8., 2017

Description

Standard Model extensions with a new strongly coupled sector can provide a solution to the hierarchy problem (Composite Higgs Models, Technicolor, etc.) with novel Higgs and TeV scale phenomenology which can be searched for at particle colliders. Alternatively (or in addition), strongly coupled sectors can provide interesting new candidates and phenomenology for Dark Matter (SIMPs, symmetry-protected bound states in CHM, etc.). However, it is inherently difficult to obtain quantitative (precise) results in strongly coupled models. Ultimately, Lattice simulations will be required for precise predictions.

This meeting aims at bringing together a group of researchers from Lattice physics, particle and DM theory and model building, phenomenology, and LHC experiments. We want to provide a productive, informal setting to discuss the status and developments in strongly coupled Standard Model extensions, and to form new collaborations amongst the participants, with special focus on collaborations between people from different communities.
