Plenary session Tuesday Morning 2
- Antonio Enrique Cárcamo Hernández
An open problem in the Standard Model relates to the origin of the mass hierarchy among fermions, and its mixing. Different alternatives have been proposed by adding extra symmetries that relate the three generations of fermions and by extending the Higgs sector. In particular, it has been shown that the S3 symmetry has given good results if two extra Higgs doublets are added to the Standard...
Parton distribution functions at high momentum fraction x continue to be of high interest. On the one hand, they can test predictions from models, effective theories and pQCD in the valence region, where most of the nucleon momentum is carried by a single quark. On the other hand, PDFs at high x and moderate Q2 are linked, via DGLAP evolution, to moderate x and high Q2 kinematics relevant for...
