D2.00002: Recent Developments in Lattice QCD
Invited Speaker:
Recent results in lattice QCD are reviewed, including the
first complete calculations of the nucleon mass, and several
results
essential to flavor physics. We shall also discuss the decay of
a $D_s
$ meson to a lepton and neutrino, where the standard model
(relying on
a lattice QCD calculation) disagrees with corresponding
experimental
measurements at the 3$\sigma$ level. [Preview Abstract] |

D2.00003: Extra dimensional models for TeV scale physics
Invited Speaker:
I will review the various extra dimensional models relevant for
the physics of the TeV scales. These models include the
realistic Randall-Sundrum model, composite Higgs models (models
of gauge-Higgs unifications) and higgsless theories. I will
review the electroweak precision and flavor constraints on
these models, and briefly comment on theories with Universal
Extra Dimensions and KK dark matter.
