Fundamental composite dynamics: A review

G Cacciapaglia, C Pica, F Sannino - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We introduce fundamental gauge theories that can be employed to construct informed
composite bright and dark extensions of the Standard Model, within and beyond the …

Unparticle physics

H Georgi - Physical Review Letters, 2007 - APS
I discuss some simple aspects of the low-energy physics of a nontrivial scale invariant sector
of an effective field theory—physics that cannot be described in terms of particles. I argue …

Conformality lost

DB Kaplan, JW Lee, DT Son, MA Stephanov - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2009 - APS
We consider zero-temperature transitions from conformal to nonconformal phases in
quantum theories. We argue that there are three generic mechanisms for the loss of …

Fermion interactions and universal behavior in strongly interacting theories

J Braun - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The theory of the strong interaction, quantum chromodynamics (QCD), describes the
generation of hadronic masses and the state of hadronic matter during the early stages of …

Fundamental composite (goldstone) Higgs dynamics

G Cacciapaglia, F Sannino - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We provide a unified description, both at the effective and fundamental Lagrangian
level, of models of composite Higgs dynamics where the Higgs itself can emerge, depending …

Conformal dynamics for TeV physics and cosmology

F Sannino - arxiv preprint arxiv:0911.0931, 2009 - arxiv.org
We introduce the topic of dynamical breaking of the electroweak symmetry and its link to
unparticle physics and cosmology. The knowledge of the phase diagram of strongly coupled …

Minimal walking technicolor: Setup for collider physics

R Foadi, MT Frandsen, TA Ryttov, F Sannino - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2007 - APS
Different theoretical and phenomenological aspects of the minimal and nonminimal walking
technicolor theories have recently been studied. The goal here is to make the models ready …

Ultraminimal technicolor and its dark matter technicolor interacting massive particles

TA Ryttov, F Sannino - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2008 - APS
We introduce an explicit model with technifermion matter transforming according to multiple

Lattice tests of beyond Standard Model dynamics

T DeGrand - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2016 - APS
Over the last few years lattice techniques have been used to investigate candidate theories
of new physics beyond the standard model. This review gives a survey of results from these …
