Title: Unification and New Signals at the LHC
Host: Ennio Salvioni
Room: 432
Abstract: The fact that the standard model gauge couplings approximately unify at high energies has motivated work on many models involving larger gauge groups. Assuming that unification occurs perturbatively, there is a restricted set of new fields that can be added without disrupting this behavior. In this talk, I will use this set of possibilities to motivate interesting signals of new physics one can hope to observe at the LHC.
