86. Strong interacting models for BSM: a lattice approach

Dr Luigi Del Debbio (University of Edinburgh)

14/12/2017, 09:00

Several models of strong dynamics beyond the Standard Model have been recently studied by formulating the strong theory on a discretised spacetime. Monte Carlo simulations can provide nonperturbative results from a first principle approach, and shed light on models like walking technicolor, and composite Higgs. I will summarise recent progress, and identify the limitations and the...

73. Probing renormalized perturbation theory with data from lattice QCD at high energies

Dr Stefan Sint (Trinity College Dublin)

14/12/2017, 09:40

Using lattice QCD and a finite space time volume to set the scale, a family of renormalized QCD couplings in SF schemes can be traced non-perturbatively from intermediate to high energies of O(100 GeV), where perturbation theory is expected to work very well. I will first discuss the continuum extrapolation of the lattice data and then assess the quality of renormalized perturbation...

70. QCD phase diagram

Prof. Bazavov Alexei (Michigan State University)

14/12/2017, 10:20

I will review recent progress in determining the QCD phase diagram from ab initio lattice QCD calculations. In particular, I discuss results on fluctuations and higher-order cumulants at non-zero baryon density, constraints on the location of the critical point, the freeze-out line and the QCD equation of state at finite density.
