Walking Technicolor (WTC)
• a candidate of the new physics beyond the Standard Model of particles
• could replace Higgs sector of the Standard Model
• Higgs sector is a low energy effective theory of WTC
• free from the gauge hierarchy problem (naturalness)
• gives explanation of the electro-weak gauge symmetry breaking,
• thus origin of mass of the elementary particles
• “Higgs” = pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson
• due to breaking of the approximate scale invariance

Conformal window Luigi Del Debbio
conformal window: SU(3) with n f = 16,12,10,9,8,6 flavors in the fundamental representation,SU(2) with n f = 6 flavors in the fundamental, SU(2) with n f = 2 flavors in the adjoint represen-tation, and SU(3) with n f = 2 flavors in the two-index symmetric (sextet) representation. At theseearly stages of the nonperturbative studies of the conformal window it is important to try to identifya paradigm to guide the numerical investigations, rather than trying to get exhaustive results on onespecific theory.

Figure 3: Boundaries of the conformal window for SU(N) gauge theories with n f species of Dirac fermions.The four bands represent respectively fermions in the fundamental (Fund), adjoint (A) and two-index sym-metric and antisymmetric (2S,2A) representations. The upper limit of each band corresponds to the numberof flavors where asymptotic freedom is lost, as obtained from one-loop perturbative computations. Thelower limit of each band yields the number of flavors above which the theories develop an IR fixed point.The location of these lower limits relies upon assumptions about the nonperturbative dynamics of the theo-ries. Lattice simulations can provide first-principle evidence in favour (or against) this picture, and computethe critical exponents that characterize the fixed points. Figure courtesy of F. Sannino.
2. Tools
Numerical tools that were originally designed for investigating lattice QCD have been used inorder to identify the existence of IRFPs. We describe briefly the main ideas, the observables thatare used in the different approaches, and their expected behaviour in the presence of an IRFP. Foreach case we try to emphasize the sources of systematic errors that need to be kept under controlin order to draw robust conclusions from numerical data.
2.1 Phase structure of the lattice theories.
Lattice simulations are performed by discretizing the action of a given theory on a Euclideanspace-time lattice. At weak coupling the RG flow can be computed perturbatively, and the relevantparameters are easily identified. For an asymptotically-free gauge theory, g = 0 is an UV fixedpoint that defines the usual continuum limit of the lattice theory. The IRFP that we are seeking isa fixed point on the massless renormalized trajectory that originates from the continuum limit. As

Similar observation can be made for the other ratio M"/M! shown in the right panel of
Fig. 3. Here, the flattening is observed for ! = 3.7 again, however the range is wider than
F!/M!. In this case ! = 4 shows the flattening, also. The di!erence of the constant is made
possible due to a discretization e!ect.
In the following sections, further detailed study using these data are performed. From
the observation here, we note that the only the smaller mass data would qualify the hyper
scaling test if there is any, if only a leading mass dependence is taken into account. Further,

Exploring the nature of the Higgs boson as a composite of more fundamental particles using lattice simulations
9
The rapid development of computers has altered the landscape
of computational science. Using supercomputers we clarify
complicated physical phenomena quantitatively and develop
new research areas, which could only be dreamed about a
decade ago.
The discovery of the Higgs boson in the LHC experiments
provides a clue to how elementary particles like quarks and
leptons acquire mass, which is a fundamental problem in
modern particle physics. Our group tries to clarify this unknown
mechanism and to understand the Higgs particle as a
composite of more fundamental particles. We use the KMI
high-performance parallel computer, “ ”, which consists of

dimensional lattice. Additionally, we work on verifying the
Standard Model via quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
simulations on the lattice, directly calculating the nuclei from
QCD. Furthermore, we investigate the phase structure of QCD
and the nature of hadronic phase in the high-temperature and
high-density region, which are directly related to the quark-
gluon matter found in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
Modern cosmological surveys strive to elucidate the nature of
dark energy and dark matter occupying 96% of the total
energy in the universe. To illuminate the dark side of the
universe, we develop a precise theoretical framework that
describes the growth of cosmic structure using large-scale
cosmological simulations. We actively participate in the galaxy
imaging and redshift survey using Subaru telescope, called
the "SuMIRe" project.

Exploring the nature of the Higgs boson as a composite of more fundamental particles using lattice simulations
9
The rapid development of computers has altered the landscape
of computational science. Using supercomputers we clarify
complicated physical phenomena quantitatively and develop
new research areas, which could only be dreamed about a
decade ago.
The discovery of the Higgs boson in the LHC experiments
provides a clue to how elementary particles like quarks and
leptons acquire mass, which is a fundamental problem in
modern particle physics. Our group tries to clarify this unknown
mechanism and to understand the Higgs particle as a
composite of more fundamental particles. We use the KMI
high-performance parallel computer, “ ”, which consists of

dimensional lattice. Additionally, we work on verifying the
Standard Model via quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
simulations on the lattice, directly calculating the nuclei from
QCD. Furthermore, we investigate the phase structure of QCD
and the nature of hadronic phase in the high-temperature and
high-density region, which are directly related to the quark-
gluon matter found in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
Modern cosmological surveys strive to elucidate the nature of
dark energy and dark matter occupying 96% of the total
energy in the universe. To illuminate the dark side of the
universe, we develop a precise theoretical framework that
describes the growth of cosmic structure using large-scale
cosmological simulations. We actively participate in the galaxy
imaging and redshift survey using Subaru telescope, called
the "SuMIRe" project.
Computational Theoretical Physics Laboratory
New research areas for the physics of particles and
the universe are explored by utilizing high-performance parallel computers.

To summarize, we performed the first study of thescalar flavor–singlet state in Nf = 12 QCD usingfermionic and gluonic interpolating operators. The moststriking feature of the measured scalar spectrum is theappearance of a state lighter than the # state, as it isshown in Fig. 4. Such a state appears both in gluonicand fermionic correlators at small bare fermion mass.Clear signals in our simulations were possible thanks tothe following salient features: 1. Small taste–symmetrybreaking, 2. E"cient noise–reduction methods, 3. Largeconfiguration ensembles, and 4. Slow damping of D(t)thanks to small m!.
We regard the light scalar state observed for Nf = 12in this study, as a reflection of the dilatonic nature of theconformal dynamics, since otherwise the p–wave boundstate (scalar) is expected to be heavier than the s–waveone (pseudo–scalar). Thus, it is a promising signal fora walking theory, where a similar conformal dynamics ina wide infrared region should be operative in the chirallimit to form a dilatonic state with mass of O(F"), insuch a way that the tiny spontaneous–breaking–scale F"
plays the role of mf (cfr. Ref. [11]).
While further investigation of the scalar state in Nf =12 QCD, such as a possible lattice spacing dependence,is important, the most pressing future direction is tolook at more viable candidates for walking technicolormodels. For example, it will be interesting to investi-gate the scalar spectrum of the Nf = 8 SU(3) theory,which was shown to be a good candidate for the walkingtechnicolor [11], where the scalar state could be identi-fied with the technidilaton, a pseudo Nambu–Goldstoneboson coming from the dynamical breaking of conformalsymmetry. There actually exists an indication of such alight scalar in Nf = 8 QCD [38].

Exploring the nature of the Higgs boson as a composite of more fundamental particles using lattice simulations

The rapid development of computers has altered the landscape
of computational science. Using supercomputers we clarify
complicated physical phenomena quantitatively and develop
new research areas, which could only be dreamed about a
decade ago.
The discovery of the Higgs boson in the LHC experiments
provides a clue to how elementary particles like quarks and
leptons acquire mass, which is a fundamental problem in
modern particle physics. Our group tries to clarify this unknown
mechanism and to understand the Higgs particle as a
composite of more fundamental particles. We use the KMI

Standard Model via quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
simulations on the lattice, directly calculating the nuclei from
QCD. Furthermore, we investigate the phase structure of QCD
and the nature of hadronic phase in the high-temperature and
high-density region, which are directly related to the quark-
gluon matter found in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
Modern cosmological surveys strive to elucidate the nature of
dark energy and dark matter occupying 96% of the total
energy in the universe. To illuminate the dark side of the
universe, we develop a precise theoretical framework that
describes the growth of cosmic structure using large-scale
cosmological simulations. We actively participate in the galaxy
imaging and redshift survey using Subaru telescope, called
the "SuMIRe" project.

each parameter. For m! on the largest two volumes ateach mf , finite size e!ects are negligible in our statis-tics. For a check of consistency with the hyperscaling ofm", we fit m! on the largest volume data at each mf
using the hyperscaling form m! = C(mf )1/1+# with afixed ! = 0.414 estimated from m" [10], which gives areasonable value of "2/dof = 0.12. The fit is shown inFig.4. We remind here that the fitted data points havem"L > 11.5, as can be checked from Table. I. We also es-timate the ratio m!/m" at each parameter and report itin Table I. All the ratios are smaller than unity by morethan one standard deviation including the systematic er-ror, except the one atmf = 0.06 on L = 30, as previouslyexplained.

To summarize, we performed the first study of thescalar flavor–singlet state in Nf = 12 QCD usingfermionic and gluonic interpolating operators. The moststriking feature of the measured scalar spectrum is theappearance of a state lighter than the # state, as it isshown in Fig. 4. Such a state appears both in gluonicand fermionic correlators at small bare fermion mass.Clear signals in our simulations were possible thanks tothe following salient features: 1. Small taste–symmetrybreaking, 2. E"cient noise–reduction methods, 3. Largeconfiguration ensembles, and 4. Slow damping of D(t)thanks to small m!.
We regard the light scalar state observed for Nf = 12in this study, as a reflection of the dilatonic nature of theconformal dynamics, since otherwise the p–wave boundstate (scalar) is expected to be heavier than the s–waveone (pseudo–scalar). Thus, it is a promising signal fora walking theory, where a similar conformal dynamics ina wide infrared region should be operative in the chirallimit to form a dilatonic state with mass of O(F"), insuch a way that the tiny spontaneous–breaking–scale F"
plays the role of mf (cfr. Ref. [11]).
While further investigation of the scalar state in Nf =12 QCD, such as a possible lattice spacing dependence,is important, the most pressing future direction is tolook at more viable candidates for walking technicolormodels. For example, it will be interesting to investi-gate the scalar spectrum of the Nf = 8 SU(3) theory,which was shown to be a good candidate for the walkingtechnicolor [11], where the scalar state could be identi-fied with the technidilaton, a pseudo Nambu–Goldstoneboson coming from the dynamical breaking of conformalsymmetry. There actually exists an indication of such alight scalar in Nf = 8 QCD [38].

Exploring the nature of the Higgs boson as a composite of more fundamental particles using lattice simulations

The rapid development of computers has altered the landscape
of computational science. Using supercomputers we clarify
complicated physical phenomena quantitatively and develop
new research areas, which could only be dreamed about a
decade ago.
The discovery of the Higgs boson in the LHC experiments
provides a clue to how elementary particles like quarks and
leptons acquire mass, which is a fundamental problem in
modern particle physics. Our group tries to clarify this unknown
mechanism and to understand the Higgs particle as a
composite of more fundamental particles. We use the KMI

Standard Model via quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
simulations on the lattice, directly calculating the nuclei from
QCD. Furthermore, we investigate the phase structure of QCD
and the nature of hadronic phase in the high-temperature and
high-density region, which are directly related to the quark-
gluon matter found in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
Modern cosmological surveys strive to elucidate the nature of
dark energy and dark matter occupying 96% of the total
energy in the universe. To illuminate the dark side of the
universe, we develop a precise theoretical framework that
describes the growth of cosmic structure using large-scale
cosmological simulations. We actively participate in the galaxy
imaging and redshift survey using Subaru telescope, called
the "SuMIRe" project.

Exploring the nature of the Higgs boson as a composite of more fundamental particles using lattice simulations

The rapid development of computers has altered the landscape
of computational science. Using supercomputers we clarify
complicated physical phenomena quantitatively and develop
new research areas, which could only be dreamed about a
decade ago.
The discovery of the Higgs boson in the LHC experiments
provides a clue to how elementary particles like quarks and
leptons acquire mass, which is a fundamental problem in
modern particle physics. Our group tries to clarify this unknown
mechanism and to understand the Higgs particle as a
composite of more fundamental particles. We use the KMI

dimensional lattice. Additionally, we work on verifying the
Standard Model via quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
simulations on the lattice, directly calculating the nuclei from
QCD. Furthermore, we investigate the phase structure of QCD
and the nature of hadronic phase in the high-temperature and
high-density region, which are directly related to the quark-
gluon matter found in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
Modern cosmological surveys strive to elucidate the nature of
dark energy and dark matter occupying 96% of the total
energy in the universe. To illuminate the dark side of the
universe, we develop a precise theoretical framework that
describes the growth of cosmic structure using large-scale
cosmological simulations. We actively participate in the galaxy
imaging and redshift survey using Subaru telescope, called
the "SuMIRe" project.

QCD. Furthermore, we investigate the phase structure of QCD
and the nature of hadronic phase in the high-temperature and
high-density region, which are directly related to the quark-
gluon matter found in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
Modern cosmological surveys strive to elucidate the nature of
dark energy and dark matter occupying 96% of the total
energy in the universe. To illuminate the dark side of the
universe, we develop a precise theoretical framework that
describes the growth of cosmic structure using large-scale
cosmological simulations. We actively participate in the galaxy
imaging and redshift survey using Subaru telescope, called
the "SuMIRe" project.
