"Searching for the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking"Csaba Csaki , Cornell University [Host: P.Q. Hung]
ABSTRACT:
The standard model of particle physics has been very successful at explaining all collider experiments to date. However, it does not give a
well-motivated explanation for why the electroweak symmetry should be spontaneously broken. Recently several new possible theories have been suggested to cure this shortcoming. I describe the motivations and the consequences of some of these new theories, including large and warped
extra dimensions, higgsless and little higgs models.
