SUMMARY:Minimal Conformal Technicolor
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Ruggero Tacchi\, UC Davis\n\nPart of the HET Seminar 
	Series.\n\nAbstract:\nI will talk about the minimal model of conformal tech
	nicolor and how the electroweak symmetry breaking is delivered in this theo
	ry. The chiral symmetry breaking follows the pattern SU(4) --;> Sp(4) and g
	enerates two uneaten pseudo-Nambu-Golstone bosons: a composite Higgs and an
	 additional neutral pseudoscalar composite particle. The compositeness of t
	he Higgs and the particular vacuum alignment allow the theory to stay withi
	n the electroweak precision tests with minimal fine tuning. The issue of fl
	avor and UV completion will be also briefly addressed.\nI will then discuss
	 some preliminary remarks on how such a model might\nappear at the LHC.
