Scalar field drawback

has to be determined up to 32nd digit to cancel the correction!!

Technicolor!

Technicolor Paradigm: A Naïve Idea

A Thought Experiment: the SM without elementary Higgs

•  In QCD, the chiral condensate breaks EW symmetry

•  But at a wrong scale (three orders of magnitude)

3  

A Scale-up QCD: A simple TC

•  Adding another strongly interacting theory into the SM

•  For TC:

SM fermion masses

•  A larger TC gauge group required: ETC

•  Issue: generic ETC has various generators, e.g.

SM fermion masses

•  Data: very small FCNCs!!

TC-pion masses

FCNCs

•  To distinguish we assume

•  Require large from walking theory!

•  The “renormalization enhancement”

Strong Dynamics & Cosmology’s Marriage

Composite Inflation

- MCI effective theory

Weyl basis

- The MCI action

14  

- The inflaton action non-minimally couples to gravity

- Large field approximation:

15  

- End of inflation

- E-foldings

GUT – composite scale 16  

- Amplitude of density perturbation

- Effective theory validity

Conclusions  &  Outlook  

•  Novel feasible models of inflation using strongly interacting theory

•  The scale of composite inflation, for all the models presented here, is of the expected GUT scale

•  Composite inflation needs non-minimal coupling

18  

Summary and Outlook

•  the search for verifiable consequences, e.g.

•  Reheating

•  Non-gaussianity

•  ….

•  Follow the talk given by Prof. Misao Sasaki

19  

Reheating Kinetic energy is converted

to matter and radiation

Gives rise to accelerated expansion

Slow roll

•  Derivation of large non-minimal coupling
