I ts predictions are consistent with all existing experimental probes\, yet it lacks firm observational evidence. I will give an overview of the theo retical status of inflationary scenarios\, in a model-independent way. I w ill explain how inflationary predictions are related to fundamental physic s and what are the ensuing theoretical problems.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv .es/event/2336/contributions/2251/ LOCATION:UV Parque Cientifico Salon de Actos -1st floor- URL:https://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2336/contributions/2251/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Neutrino oscillation phenomenology: three-flavor analyses and beyo nd DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141024T133000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141024T141000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260511T002044Z UID:indico-contribution-2336-2250@indico.ific.uv.es DESCRIPTION:Speakers: María Amparo Tortola (IFIC\, Valencia)\nI will pres ent an updated global fit to neutrino oscillation data within the three-fl avour framework. The most recent data from solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments are included in our analysis together with the latest results from the long-baseline accelerator experiments T2K and MINOS and the recen t measurements of reactor neutrino disappearance reported by Double Chooz\ , Daya Bay and RENO. I will also comment on future prospects on neutrino o scillation experiments. Finally I will briefly discuss about the possibili ty of serching for new physics with neutrino oscillation experiments.\n\nh ttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2336/contributions/2250/ LOCATION:UV Parque Cientifico Salon de Actos -1st floor- URL:https://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2336/contributions/2250/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Status of Higgs Effective Theories DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141024T073000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141024T081000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260511T002044Z UID:indico-contribution-2336-2249@indico.ific.uv.es DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Luca Merlo (IFT\, Madrid)\nWith the discovery of a s calar resonance at ATLAS and CMS\, the understanding of the electroweak sy mmetry breaking origin seems a much closer goal. Deviations from SM coupli ngs are different for theories of new physics based on a non-linear realis ation of the SU(2)xU(1) gauge symmetry breaking and those assuming a linea r realisation. In this talk\, I will review and compare the effective Lagr angians of the linear and non-linear realisations and discuss some phenome nological signals.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2336/contributions/2 249/ LOCATION:UV Parque Cientifico Salon de Actos -1st floor- URL:https://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2336/contributions/2249/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Cosmology and fundamental physics: some examples DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141024T101500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141024T110500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260511T002044Z UID:indico-contribution-2336-2248@indico.ific.uv.es DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Licia Verde (ICC\, Barcelona)\nCosmology has made th e transition to precision science. This opens up the possibility to test f undamental physics with cosmological observations. I will present some ex amples and discuss potential and challenges of this approach.\n\nhttps://i ndico.ific.uv.es/event/2336/contributions/2248/ LOCATION:UV Parque Cientifico Salon de Actos -1st floor- URL:https://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2336/contributions/2248/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Seesaw scale vs Cosmology DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141024T093000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141024T101000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260511T002044Z UID:indico-contribution-2336-2247@indico.ific.uv.es DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jacobo Lopez Pavon (SISSA\, Trieste)\nI will study t he simplest extension of the SM that can account for neutrino masses: the Type-I seesaw. The model introduces a New Physics scale\, M\, which is oft en assumed to be much larger than the electroweak scale. However\, it is p resently unconstrained and the light neutrino masses and mixing can be gen erated for any value of M above eV. Its determination is one of the most important open questions in neutrino physics. Paying special attention to the contribution of the sterile states to $N_{eff}$ as a function of M\, I will show that a large part of the M parameter space can be excluded than ks to cosmological measurements. The implications for neutrinoless double beta decay will also be discussed.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2336 /contributions/2247/ LOCATION:UV Parque Cientifico Salon de Actos -1st floor- URL:https://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2336/contributions/2247/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:SUSY custodial Higgs triplets and breaking of universality DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141024T081500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20141024T090500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260511T002044Z UID:indico-contribution-2336-2246@indico.ific.uv.es DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mariano Quiros (IFAE\, Barcelona)\nAn extension of t he MSSM with Higgs triplets can be of great help to alleviate the little h ierarchy problem. We show that such an extension (a supersymmetric version of the Georgi-Machacek model) in agreement with electroweak data does exi st. The main smoking gun of the model\, apart from the rich phenomenology with singly and doubly charged scalars and fermions\, can be the possible breaking of the W/Z universality.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2336/ contributions/2246/ LOCATION:UV Parque Cientifico Salon de Actos -1st floor- URL:https://indico.ific.uv.es/event/2336/contributions/2246/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
