Toward TeV Conformality

We study the chiral condensate $<\bar{\psi }\psi >$ for an SU(3) gauge theory with $N_f$ massless Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation when $N_f$ is increased from 2 to 6. For $N_f=2$, our lattice simulations of $<\bar{\psi} \psi >/F^3$,where$F$ is the Nambu-Goldstone-boson decay constant, agree with the measured QCD value. For $N_f=6$, this ratio shows significant enhancement, presaging an even larger enhancement anticipated as $N_f$ increases further, toward the critical value for transition from confinement to infrared conformality.
