Description
The Conformal Standard Model (CSM) is a minimal extension of
the Standard Model of Particle Physics based on the assumed absence of
large intermediate scales between the TeV scale and the Planck scale,
which incorporates only right-chiral neutrinos and a new complex scalar in
addition to the usual SM degrees of freedom, but no other features such as
supersymmetric partners. In this talk I will present an overview
and argue that all outstanding issues of particle physics proper can in
principle be solved ‘in one go’ within this framework. The main testable
prediction of the model is a new and almost sterile scalar boson that
would manifest itself as a narrow resonance in the TeV region.
