SUMMARY:Strongly coupled gauge theories in and out of the conformal window
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Anna Hasenfratz\, University of Colorado\n\nPart of t
	he HET Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract:\nAsymptotically free gauge systems with
	 many fermionic degrees of freedom can develop a conformal infrared fixed p
	oint. Near the conformal window these strongly coupled systems can have unu
	sual properties\, and might contain a light scalar\, a composite candidate 
	for the Higgs boson. Lattice studies are particularly suited to study these
	 strongly coupled models\, though methods developed for QCD studies are not
	 always effective. In this talk I will give a brief overview of our underst
	anding of these systems. I will concentrate on two rather different methods
	\, the Dirac operator spectral density\, and a variant of finite size scali
	ng\, to illustrate the unusual properties of these intriguing systems.
