課程概述

高等專題研究 Advanced Topical Research

We guide the study on dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking through strong Yukawa coupling of an extra chiral quak doublet Q, contemplate the viability of a dilaton interpretation of the discovered 126 GeV boson (vs the usual interpretation as the Higgs boson of Standard Model), and explore what can be done before 2015, when 13-14 TeV LHC data starts to arrive. 

課程目標
 Despite the good likelihood that Higgs and Englert and company might get the Nobel Prize this year, the true agent of electroweak symmetry break (EWSB) is still the most pressing issue of the present times. The light Higgs brings in an assortment of problems. The alternative of dynamical symmetry breaking (DSB) should not be dropped. One such possibility, demonstrated numerically feasible a year ago, is the Q-Qbar condensation induced by strong Yukawa coupling lambda_Q of an extra degenerate chiral doublet Q (a.k.a. the 4th generation). It is already of theoretical interest to understand better this DSB approach that may not be QCD-like. It may be even viable, if the 126 GeV boson turns out to be the "dilaton" of scale invariance violation, which is not absolutely ruled out by current data.

Besides introducing students to the subject, the course aims at further development, both theoretically and phenomenologically, on the subject, towards the 2015 LHC run at 13-14 TeV.

The course also aims at bringing the student to appreciate perseverance and steadfastness on a subject that is truly worthwhile. In that sense, it is also character-building.
