DESCRIPTION:Identifying the mechanism of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking is 
 one of the major quests of particle physics for the next coming years. The
  usual Higgs mechanism is not very satisfactory or at least incomplete bec
 ause of the quantum instability driven by the radiative corrections in the
  scalar potential. The existence of a Higgs boson is usually warranted by 
 some theoretical arguments (unitarity\, renormalizabilty...) that I will r
 ecall before explaining how they can be evaded. Then I will introduce a mo
 del of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking that does not involve any Higgs field
  at low energy and where electroweak breaking is dynamically triggered by 
 boundary conditions in an extra-dimensions. A custodial symmetry ensures t
 hat the spectrum and the couplings are identical to the Standard Model one
 s. I will also explain how to give masses to quarks and leptons without Yu
 kawa couplings. I will present the experimental signatures of the model as
  for instance the existence around 500 GeV -- 1 TeV of spin one excitation
 s with the W and Z quantum numbers. Finally\, I will discuss the issue of 
 electroweak precision tests and various experimental constraints.\n\nhttps
