- (Joint with Phenomenology) A New Approach to Flavor (?)
- Time: 1:45 pm
- Place: 4274 Chamberlin
- Speaker: Keith Dienes, University of Arizona
- Abstract: The origin of flavor is one of the biggest mysteries of the Standard Model. Despite more than a half-century of data, we still have essentially no explanation for family replication in the Standard Model. Many theoretical models can incorporate or accommodate this replication, but very few actually explain/predict/require it. In this talk, I will describe some recent work on a possible new approach towards explaining the origin of family replication in the Standard Model.
- Host: Sky Bauman and Lisa Everett
