Clockworking and the Power Spectrum of the LHC (PRETALK for students at 15:30 h)
In the pre-talk I will discuss the hierarchy problem from a known, but less mainstream, direction and I will argue that the hints we have observed for high energy physics may in fact be a smokescreen, with the new physics responsible for these hints lying much closer to accessible energies. In the main talk I will discuss recent progress in clockwork model building, along with the associated linear dilaton continuum limit, including connections to stringy UV-completions. The second half of the talk will focus on LHC phenomenology, including a new search strategy to look for evidence of new physics in Fourier space.
