Dear colleague,
This letter is the second announcement of the eighteenth workshop
(18th) entitled "What Comes Beyond the Standard Models?" which
will take place at Bled, Slovenia, from 11th of July 2015 (arrival
day, afternoon) to 19th of July 2015 (departure day, morning). There
is a real possibility that the participants come earlier in Ljubljana,
and stay few days longer at Bled.
***********************************************************************
If you are planning to come but have not already informed the
organizers, please do so soon, also stating details of you arrival
and stay at Bled. It would greatly facilitate workshop
organization.
***********************************************************************
This call will also be soon available at the following URL:
http://bsm.fmf.uni-lj.si/bled2015bsm/
This page contains links to maps of Bled etc. and will be updated
with later calls (there will be two more calls, one in May and one
in June).
The following links might be of interest:
- the links to workshop pages for previous years can be found at
http://bsm.fmf.uni-lj.si/
- home page of the previous 2014 workshop can be found at
http://bsm.fmf.uni-lj.si/bled2014bsm
containing workshop announcements and presentations of most
talks, as well as the pdf of the printed workshop Proceedings
for 2014, which is also available as index submission
http://arXiv.org/abs/1502.06786 (for previous years workshops
can be found on analogous URLs -just substitute year for 2014
in the above address)
- home page of Cosmovia, http://www.cosmovia.org/ , which hosts
video conferences at our (and many other) conferences for the
last several years, courtesy of Prof. Maxim Yu. Khlopov (on
the cosmovia home page click 'enter', then go to the link for
older conferences).
Web conferences using VIA system are planned during the Workshop
at Bled, as was the case for the previous five years (you can see
the videos, as well as the Proceedings, at http://www.cosmovia.org
-- click 'enter the site' on the main page, click the link 'previous',
select 'conferences' and then select one of the Bled workshops).
We expect several contributions at distance with the use of VIA system.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Our workshop is organized for the purpose of answering the open
questions in the standard model of the electroweak and colour
interactions,and the cosmological standard model, like:
o What is the most promising first step beyond the standard model,
explaining and possibly justifying the assumptions of the standard
model about:
* the origin of massless family members with their spin and charges,
* the origin of families,
* the origin of massless vector gauge fields,
* the origin of the Higgs's scalar and Yukawa couplings,
* the origin of dark matter,
* the origin of dark energy,
* the origin of ordinary matter-antimatter asymmetry
* the origin of differences in masses of family members
o What does the complex action bring into the understanding of
the properties of our universe?
o What can we learn from the model in which all fermions have come by
fermionization from original bosons?
o There are several proposals in the literature, which are trying to
explain the assumptions of the standard model.
* How much have different proposals in common?
* How many of the open questions of the standard model does a
particular proposal answer?
o How many families shall we be able to observe at the LHC?
o How many scalar fields shall the LHC observe?
o What properties has the dark matter?
* Is the charge asymmetry in the dark matter
* Can the charge asymmetry be related to the baryon asymmetry?
o What is the origin of the two energy scales:
* the colour phase transition scale and
* the electroweak phase transition scale?
o Why has Nature made a choice of four (noticeable) dimensions
while all the others (if existing) are hidden?
* how does the compactification occur?
* what are properties of space-time in the hidden dimensions?
o Where do possible Majorana properties of fermions originate?
o How can one understand the discrete symmetries in Kaluza-Klein like
theories?
o How can all gauge fields (including gravity) be unified and quantized?
o What is the origin of the field which caused inflation?
o What do string theories really mean?
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The aim of the workshop is to bring together physicists, who are
trying to find the answers to some of these and other open questions
from the field of the elementary particles and cosmology and who would
enjoy to actively discuss these questions in a small group.
In the last seventeen years we have organized workshops entitled
``What Comes Beyond the Standard Models?" They took place annually in
July since 1998. Each year we spent about ten days, trying to answer
these questions in a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. We have
published fifteen volumes of Proceedings to these workshops (one in
1999, and then one volume every year since 2001). In the year 2003 we
have also organized, in addition and with the help of EURESCO, the
conference titled "Euroconference on symmetries beyond the Standard
models" from 12. -- 17. of July 2003 in Portoroz,Slovenia. Proceedings
volume published in 2003 contains write-ups of the talks at this
conference.
Bled is a nice town by the lake of the same name, surrounded by mountains,
with many comfortable hotels. Home page of Bled, containing information
for visitors, is available at http://www.bled.si in several languages.
The Physical Society together with the Mathematical Society owns ahouse,
whose owner was our well known mathematician JosipPlemelj. This house
can accept 16 people in 8 rooms. The street location of the house is
Presernova cesta 39, Bled. It also has a lecture room for around 20 people.
There is some place in the Plemelj's house. However, if you want the hotel
reservation, then you can do that by yourself (Bled homepage http://www.Bled.si
contains links to hotels). If you want us to do that then, please, let us
know very soon.
*************************************** COST
We are trying to keep the costs low. The Conference Fee will be 510 EUR
for the whole duration of the Workshop (or 60 EUR per day) and it will
cover breakfast, coffee, lunch-snacks and dinner for 8 days, and 30 EUR
for the Proceedings, (already included in 510 EUR).
In addition, the price of weakly accommodation in Villa Plemelj is 200 EUR
(sharing a double bedroom)or 400 EUR (for single occupancy) and it is paid
separately from the Conference Fee.
These costs concern only the part at Bled from 11-19 July 2015, Ljubljana
and Bled after has to be paid separately.
****************************************************************
Please let us know, if you need a letter of invitation from the organizing
committee either for your institute/university or for a visa application.
We recommend that you bring appropriate shoes and parkas for trekking
and mountaineering .
The workshop is organized by the DMFA (Society of Mathematicians,
Physicists and Astronomers of Slovenia). The workshop is sponsored by
DMFA and Department of Physics, FMF, University of Ljubljana with the
computer equipment.
ONE PAGE CONTRIBUTION
You may send a one page contribution to the workshop.
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 a one hour talk (although the talks usually,
because of many questions and interruptions, last much longer).
In the rest of the workshop we shall discuss the open problems.
LETTER OF INVITATION
We shall be glad to send you the letter of invitation after your
response to this announcement.
