Conformal phase transition in QCD like theories and beyond

Abstract

The dynamics with an infrared stable fixed point in the conformal window in QCD like theories with a relatively large number of fermion flavors is reviewed. The emphasis is on the description of a clear signature for the conformal window, which in particular can be useful for lattice computer simulations of these gauge theories.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, Talk at Workshop on Strong Coupling Gauge Theories in the LHC Era, December 8-11, 2009, Nagoya, Japa
