The Gradient Flow Coupling in Technicolor Models
Abstract: Lately, lattice field theory has been used to extensively study technicolor models, a class of candidate models for beyond the Standard Model dynamics. These models should lie close to the lower limit of the conformal window, where the running coupling acquires a nonzero asymptotic value at small energy scales. So far, the most common method for studying the running coupling on the lattice has been the Schrödinger Functional method. I present a study using a novel, Gradient Flow coupling measurement and compare it to the Schrödinger Functional in one prominent technicolor candidate model, the SU(2) gauge theory coupled to 2 fermions in its adjoint representation.

Fall 2013 PhD school, “Supersymmetry or not, what is the evidence?”
——————————————————————–
Dear all
this year we organize a particle/astro PhD school , sponsored by Dark/
Discovery/NBI , on supersymmetry
https://indico.nbi.ku.dk/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=590
Date: October 28-November 1st
Location: Rockefeller building, Copenhagen
The two teachers will be Pascal Pralavorio (particle physicist) and
Dan Hooper (astrophysicist). They have taught similar subjects at SLAC
summer institute and other international schools in the recent past.
This PhD school promises to be quite interesting.
Registration is now open, for any questions please contact me,
Hope to see many of you there,
cheers
Stefania
