course on U(1) extensions of the Standard Model and anomalous symmetries

[claudio....@gmail.com]

Hello to everybody
As Prof. Moretti was mentioning, I will be giving a series of lectures on particle/theory/phenomenology.
They will have both a field theory and a phenomenological content.
I plan to cover anomalies, the neutral currents sector of the Standard Model,
anomaly cancelations and direct applications.
In particular I will provide details about some variants of the Standard Model which
contain anomalous abelian symmetries, and their cancelation by an axion.
I will address two constructions, one originated from string theory
(termed MLSOM), and one susy version of it, called the NMSSM-A.
The second model contains two dark matter components: neutralino and axions.
The class of susy models I will discuss, which I have developed along the years, introduce a "gauged axion", which generalize the traditional Peccei-Quinn axion.
Some parts of the mini course will be blackboard lectures, for others I will be using transparencies.
If time allows, I will also talk about ordinary U(1)'s and their detection using the Drell-Yan mechanism. I need your feedback.
My goal is to make both the more mathematically oriented and the phenomenologists
interested in the topics. It is a difficult enterprise, but I will try.
A detailed program will appear in a while. This is just to keep the ball rolling...
