Description |
The meeting will bring together a number of experts in both phenomenological and formal aspects of hierarchy problems in particle physics. We plan to focus mainly on the Higgs mass issue and the doublet-triplet problem in the context of SUSY GUTS, the question of the cosmological constant and the fermion mass problem. The conference will last three and a half days. Our plan is to assert the state-of-the-art in the field and discuss new ideas and directions of research. |
