Non-perturbative news from the conformal window
Álvaro Pastor-Gutiérrez
Dynamical symmetry breaking plays a crucial role in mass and scale generation. In QCD-like theories, its dependence on the number of fermion flavours determines the phase structure…
Dynamical symmetry breaking in Georgi-Glashow chiral-gauge theories
Hao-Lin Li, Álvaro Pastor-Gutiérrez, Shahram Vatani +1
We investigate dynamical symmetry breaking in a class of chiral gauge theories containing the Georgi-Glashow model. These theories feature a gauge sector and two fermion species th…
The quantum criticality of the Standard Model and the hierarchy problem
Juan P. Garcés, Florian Goertz, Manfred Lindner +1
The naturalness principle has long guided efforts to understand physics beyond the Standard Model, with the hierarchy problem as the central issue. We revisit the role of quantum c…
Gauge-Fermion Cartography: from confinement and chiral symmetry breaking to conformality
Florian Goertz, Álvaro Pastor-Gutiérrez, Jan M. Pawlowski
We study, for the first time, the interplay between colour-confining and chiral symmetry-breaking dynamics in gauge-fermion systems with a general number of flavours and colours. S…
On the phase structure of extra-dimensional gauge theories with fermions
Álvaro Pastor-Gutiérrez, Masatoshi Yamada
We study the phase structure of five-dimensional Yang-Mills theories coupled to Dirac fermions. In order to tackle their non-perturbative character, we derive the flow equations fo…
Unveiling New Phases of the Standard Model Higgs Potential
Florian Goertz, Álvaro Pastor-Gutiérrez
We present evidence for new phases of the Standard Model Higgs potential. We study the Standard Model physical trajectory accounting for the Higgs curvature mass with the mass-depe…
Sub-TeV hadronic interaction model differences and their impact on air showers
M. Schmelling, Á. Pastor-Gutiérrez, H. Schorlemmer +1
In the sub-TeV regime, the most widely used hadronic interaction models disagree significantly in their predictions of particle spectra from cosmic ray induced air showers. We inve…
Sub-TeV hadronic interaction model differences and their impact on air showers
Álvaro Pastor-Gutiérrez, Harm Schoorlemmer, Robert Daniel Parsons +1
In the sub-TeV regime, the most widely used hadronic interaction models disagree significant lying their predictions for post-first interaction and ground-level particle spectra fr…
