Abstract

We study an effective field theory (EFT) describing the interaction of an approximate dilaton with a set of pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons (pNGBs). The EFT is inspired by, and employed to analyse, recent results from lattice calculations that reveal the presence of a remarkably light singlet scalar p...
