Scientific Program
The Institute begins with seven days of
pedagogical lectures designed for beginning post-doctoral
experimentalists and theorists and advanced graduate students.
It concludes with a three day Topical Conference. The daily
schedule will consist of lectures each morning and study and discussion
sessions every afternoon. Social
activities and student poster sessions are planned for the evening.
This year's Institute focuses on some of the central questions before
particle physics today. What
is the mechanism driving electroweak symmetry breaking and generating
the masses of the W and Z bosons? Is
it simply a single elementary scalar Higgs boson?
Is the mechanism due to new strong interactions, such as
technicolor? Is Nature
supersymmetric at the electroweak scale?
How do the quarks and leptons get their mass?
What do present experiments say about the existence of the Higgs
and the New Physics behind electroweak symmetry breaking?
How will the next generation of colliders lead to further
progress in unravelling the "origin of mass"?
What future machines are needed to fully understand this physics?
