Lecture
Beyond the Standard Model: Effective Quantum Field Theory
Description
This lecture covers the concept of effective quantum field theory, illustrating how it provides a fundamental understanding of physics. It delves into the structural and precise nature of the Standard Model, highlighting the need for deeper mechanisms and principles. The discussion extends to the implications of QFT, ongoing progress, and the potential experimental validations through collider experiments and precision tabletop experiments. The lecture also explores topics like Supersymmetry, Composite Higgs, and TechniColor, emphasizing the quest to make the Higgs mass calculable and the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
