摘要:Undeniably, the imminent activity of LHC and the quest for the nature of physics beyond the
standard model have raised renewed interest in the conformal and quasi-conformal behaviour of
gauge field theories with matter content. Theoretically driven questions seem to now acquire
a strong experimental appeal and might guide us towards a more realistic string theory to field
theory connection, originally inspired by the AdS/CFT conjecture. In this brief report, we discuss
the state of the art of our search for the conformal window in the SU(3) colour-gauge theory with
fermions in the fundamental representation.
