LFC17: Old and New Strong Interactions from LHC to Future Colliders

Aim of the workshop: The proposed workshop will highlight current problems posed by strong interactions in perturbative and non-perturbative regimes and discuss how future colliders beyond the LHC can shed light on them. In particular, our meeting will deal with the following issues: state of the art of perturbative and non-perturbative QCD, non-perturbative uncertainties and interpretation of the top-quark mass, strong interactions as the binding force of new fermions in composite Higgs models, role played by QCD in new physics searches at the LHC, hadronic contribution to the leptonic gyromagnetic moment. The program will be organized with introductory talks on strong interactions at present and future colliders and the following topical working groups: Perturbative QCD (Convener G. Ferrera) Non-perturbative QCD and heavy ions (Convener A. Beraudo) Top-quark physics (Convener F. Tramontano) Leptonic g-2 (Convener C. Calame Carloni) Higgs physics (Conveners A. Deandrea and R. Franceschini) Exotics and Dark Matter (Conveners A. Urbano and O. Panella) Contact: fossi@ectstar.eu (C. Fossi, ECT* secretariat) Organizers: Gennaro Corcella (INFN LNF, chairman) Stefania De Curtis (INFN Florence) Stefano Moretti (University of Southampton) Giulia Pancheri (INFN LNF) Roberto Tenchini (INFN Pisa) Marcel Vos (Universidad de Valencia)
