Ecole doctorale - Fundamental Interactions, the safe and free story

Du 13 mai 2019 au 15 mai 2019

Arcetri, Firenze (Italie)

Cette mini-école s'adresse principalement aux doctorants. étudiants et post-doctorants en physique des particules de haute énergie. Le but de l’école est de donner une introduction aux concepts de base et aux outils nécessaires à la recherche sur la théorie des interactions fondamentales, couvrant les fondements du sujet à un niveau profond et avancé.

Abstract

This mini-school is primarily addressed to Ph.D. students and post-docs in high energy particle physics. The aim of the school is to give an introduction to the basic concepts and tools needed for research in the theory of fundamental interactions, covering the foundations of the subject at a deep and advanced level. The adjective fundamental applies to theories that can be trusted at any energy scale, in particular up to arbitrary high energies. The prime example is QCD in isolation, which flows towards a free theory in the Ultra-Violet. More recently, attention is being devoted to safe theories which, instead, flow towards a strong or weak interactive fixed point. Remarkably, the Standard Model in isolation does not belong to either class of fundamental theories. The lectures will aim at charting the landscape of fundamental theories, from phenomenological applications, to the construction of theories with and without gravity, to lattice tests.
