| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Non-perturbative nature of many-flavor QCD through the numerical simulation of the lattice gauge theory within the framework of the (walking) technicolor model has been investigated. Many-flavor QCD is a good candidate for the walking technicolor, where the flavor singlet scalar can be regarded as a technidilaton, a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson of the approximate scale symmetry.
In this work, we studied the flavor dependence of the low-energy behavior systematically in comparison with various number of flavor Nf=(0), 8, 12 based on a unique lattice setup. We discovered a signal of a flavor-singlet scalar meson lighter than the pseudo scalar in Nf =12 case. In Nf =8 case, we also observed a flavor-singlet scalar with mass comparable to or slightly smaller than that of the pseudo scalar in the fermion mass range of our simulations. This is a hint of the technidilaton as a composite Higgs to be identified with the Higgs boson which was discovered at LHC.
