Znalezienie rozwiązania problemu masy w oddziaływaniach elementarnych przy wykorzystaniu wczesnych danych LHC
This project is devoted to theoretical research in the physics of elementary interactions.
Its scientific goal is to contribute to the discovery of the theory that will extend the Standard Model and will solve the mass problem of elementary particles.
Such a solution should explain the dynamical origin of the Fermi scale and its quantum stability,
and the origin of quark and lepton mass hierarchies, in the framework of one coherent theory.
This is now the frontline of theoretical research in the physics of elementary interactions, closely correlated with experimental programme
based on experiments at the LHC (CERN).
Finding the dynamical solution to both mentioned-above aspects of the mass problem in elementary interactions
is a guiding principle in search of the coherent deeper than the Standard Model theory of the structure of matter and interactions of its elementary components.
The discovery of this theory will have fundamental significance for our knowledge of the fundamental laws of Nature,
is necessary for knowing the history of the Universe in very early moments after the Big Bang, and may have important impact on the development of
related research fields, such as string theory,
the inclusion of gravity into a quantum theory of elementary interactions and lattice gauge theories for strong interaction physics.
The two aspects of the mass problem give complementary insights into beyond the Standard Model physics and merging them together is a theoretical challenge
and correlates predictions for flavour physics and collider physics.
Our believe in the scientific success of this project is based on the fact that the team proposing it has very strong expertise in beyond the Standard Model physics
and significant, very much appreciated by the international community, achievements in this field of research.
The members of this team have proposed some of the widely used in the beyond the Standard Model physics (BSM) research tools like e.g. deconstruction (of extra dimensions),
and were among the first to begin to explore the importance of search for the simultaneous dynamical theory of the electroweak breaking
and for the hierarchies of fermions masses.
