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

 
 
Dear colleague,
 
 
 This letter is the second announcement of the second workshop entitled

"What Comes Beyond the Standard Model?"
 

 
which will take place at Bled from 22 nd of July to 31 st of July 1999. Please, check here for the first announcement.



It is organized in purpose to answer the open questions of the electroweak Standard model like:
  1. Why are left handed fermions doublets with respect to the weak charge while right handed fermions are singlets? Are spins and charges unified? Why is parity not broken in strong and electromagnetic interactions?
  2. Why are quarks and leptons arranged in families? How can families be predicted? Where do the Yukawa couplings come from?
    3.  
  3. Where do the coupling constants come from?
    What are Higgs? Why have no light scalar fields yet been observed?
  4. Where does the electroweak scale come from? Can we exclude the existence of constituents of quarks and leptons?
  5. Why is the ordinary space-time four dimensional? Why does flat space-time have the Minkowski metric? Do gravity and gauge fields unify?
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.
 
Last year we organized the first workshop on ``What Comes Beyond the Standard Model?" It took place from 29 th of June to 9th of July. We spent ten days, trying to answer these questions in a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. You can find the proceedings (a zip file) here.

The Physical Society together with 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.
 
We have asked European Physical Society and Slovenian Ministry of Science to sponsor this workshop. The workshop is sponsored by the Slovenian National Committee for Physics, DMFA and the Department of Physics, FMP, University of Ljubljana.
 
ONE PAGE CONTRIBUTION

We kindly ask you to send a one page contribution to the workshop until the end of May 1999.

SUGGESTIONS FOR DISCUSSIONS

We also ask you to write in a few sentences the suggestions for the open problems, which you are prepared to lead the discussions for, or you
suggest the discussions about.

PRESENTATIONS

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

PROCEEDINGS

If you would like to receive a copy of the proceedings  to the last years International workshop on What comes beyond the standard model, please,
send as your surface mail address. We would like to let you know, that we plan to publish the proceedings this as well.
