Workshop at Bled 2000

The first announcement of the fourth workshop organized by Norma Mankoč
Borštnik, Colin Froggatt and Holger Bech Nielsen

"What Comes Beyond the Standard Model?"

Dear Colleague,
I would like to remind you, that the application deadline for the workshop "What Comes Beyond the Standard Model?", which will take place at Bled from 17 th of July to 27 th of July 2001, is approaching. Please, do not forget to register.
With my best regards. Norma, Holger, Colin

The workshop will take place at Bled from 17 th of July to 27 th of July 2001. It is organized for the purpose of answering some of the open questions in the electroweak Standard Model like:

Why odd time and odd space signature?
Why our Universe experiences four-dimensional space-time?
Why left handed fermions carry the weak charge while right handed fermions do not?
Why is parity not broken in strong and electromagnetic interactions?
Why are quarks and leptons arranged in families? How can families be predicted? Where do the Yukawa couplings come from?
Where do the coupling constants come from? What are Higgs? Why have no light scalar fields yet been observed?
Where does the electroweak scale come from? Can we exclude the existence of constituents of quarks and leptons?

The aim of the workshop is to bring together physicists, who are trying to find the answers to some of these questions and who would enjoy to actively discuss the above questions in a small group.

In the last three years we organized the first , the second and the third workshops entitled "What Comes Beyond the Standard Model?" They took place in June-July 1998, July 1999 and July 2000. Each year we spent ten days, trying to answer these questions in a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The first proceedings is published, the second one is in preparation.

The Physical Society together with the Mathematical Society owns a house (an access map is available here), whose owner was the well known mathematician Josip Plemelj. This house can accept 16 people in 8 rooms.

It also has a lecture room for around 20 people. Bled is a nice town by the lake of the same name, surrounded by mountains, with many comfortable hotels.

The workshop is organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana and the Primorska institute of Natural Sciences and Technology . We have asked The European Physical Society and the Slovenian Ministry of Science to Sponsor this workshop. The workshop is sponsored by the Slovenian National Committee for Physics, DMFA, Department of Physics, FMP, University of Ljubljana and Primorska Institute for Natural Sciences and Technology.

PRESENTATIONS

It is planned that in the first two or three days everybody will present her or his work in a one hour talk. In the rest of the workshop we shall discuss the open problems.

If you would like to attend this workshop, please, fill in the following form and send it by e-mail as soon as possible, but not later than 15th of May 2001.
