We report new results for a frequently discussed gauge theory with
\ntwelve fermion flavorsin the fundamental representation of the SU(3)
\ncolor gauge group. We subject the model to opposite hypotheses with
\nrespect to the conformal window. In the first hypothesis, below the
\nconformal window, we test chiral symmetry breaking. In the second
\ntest, for the alternate hypothesis inside the conformal window, we
\nprobe conformal behavior driven by a single anomalous mass dimension
\nunder the assumption of unbroken chiral symmetry at vanishing fermion
\nmass. Our results at fixed gauge coupling, based on the assumptions of
\nthe two hypotheses we define, show low level of confidence in the
\nconformal scenario with leading order scaling analysis. Relaxing the
\nimportant assumption of leading mass-deformed conformality with its
\nconformal finite size scaling would require added theoretical
\nunderstanding of the scaling violation terms in the conformal
\nanalysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[],"seminar_category":[53],"acf":{"s_now_accepting":true,"s_date_order":"2011-11-02 16:30:00","s_date_end":null,"s_date_text":"","s_text":"Julius Kuti","s_place":"KMI Science Symposia (ES635)","s_place_other":"","s_categoryother":"","s_poster":"
