Electroweak Superconductivity and the Little Higgs

Andrew Cohen, Boston University

Over the next decade, experiments probing nature at distances as short as 10^{-19} meters will take place. A principal goal of these experiments includes the exploration of the phenomena of electroweak superconductivity, the property of nature responsible for the short-range nature of the weak interactions as well as the masses of the quarks and leptons. I will introduce this phenomena and discuss some recent ideas for its origin.
