5. Long traditions in Helsinki & Jyväskylä Closely interconnected –Collaborations: e.g. Eskola, Kajantie, Ruuskanen,Tuominen; Huitu, Maalampi –Contacts to experiments: e.g. Kinnunen, Lehti (HIP/Hki), Orava, Österberg (HYFL); Rak (JYFL) Common participation in international activities –EU & Nordic projects e.g. Huitu, Osland –European Graduate School (Giessen-Copenhagen-Hki-Jlä-Torino) –Workshops & Meetings Good international contacts –Collaborations with institutions in Europe, USA & Asia –Close contact with CERN

6. From past highlights (i) Dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking: New technicolor theories. (Sannino,Tuominen, PR D71 2005) Consistent with current data at 68 % confidence! Testable at LHC At LC: measure sneutrino and antisneutrino mixing  information on neutrino sector parameters Honkavaara, Huitu, Roy, Phys. Rev. D73, 2006 how to measure the sneutrino-antisneutrino -mixing at the LHC ?

7. From past highlights (ii) Eskola, Honkanen, Niemi, Ruuskanen, Räsänen (05) RHIC data - test the approach - controlled LHC prediction - affects ALICE Comprehensive description of URHIC

8. to the future: BSM: collider phenomenology: SUSY, technicolor, extra dimensions, … nature of electroweak symmetry breaking CP-violation: B physics (CP breaking mechanism) rare decays: Hints about underlying new physics new particle searches: SUSY partners, technihadrons, new gauge bosons,… SUSY breaking: signals of different breaking mechanisms dark matter candidates: technihadrons, new heavy fermions (SUSY or non-SUSY) techniques: perturbative QFT, non-perturbative methods: lattice, dualities, eff. theories,… Condensed particle matter: QCD dynamics near T c : effective FTFTs of Polyakov loops & quark/chiral dofs. finite densities: location of the critical point URHIC & QGP – focus on LHC phenomenology: QGP initial state: production dynamics, gluon saturation/CGC, thermalization,...
