Conformally invariant extensions of the Standard Model: theory and phenomenology — •Viviana Niro — Max-Planck-Institut fuer Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany

We consider conformally invariant theories with a hidden sector and we analyze how the electroweak symmetry breaking can arise through the conformal anomalies, that generate the Higgs mass term at the quantum level. The main features of the models are presented, as well as the main advantages with respect to the Standard Model. We discuss also the phenomenology connected with these models and the possibility to test them at the LHC.
