This volume contains contributions to the workshop, which was
largely focused on the strong coupling gauge theories in search for
theories beyond the standard model, particularly, the LHC
experiments and lattice studies of conformal fixed point. The main
topics include walking technicolor and the role of conformality in
view of the 125 GeV Higgs as a light composite Higgs
(technidilaton, and other composite Higgs, etc.). Nonperturbative
studies like lattice simulations and stringy/holographic approaches
are extensively discussed in close relation to the phenomenological
studies.After the discovery of 125 GeV Higgs at LHC, the central
issue of particle physics is now to reveal the dynamical origin of
the Higgs itself. One of the possibilities would be the composite
Higgs based on the strong coupling gauge theory in the TeV region,
such as the technidilaton predicted in walking technicolor with
infrared conformality. The volume contains, among others, many of
the latest important reports on walking technicolor and related
subjects in the general context of conformality, in a way of direct
relevance to the LHC phenomenology as well as the lattice studies.
It is very timely to study full theoretical implications in the
exciting era when the LHC is vigorously working. This volume is of
great importance for that purpose.Speakers of 40 talks (plus
posters) include K-I Aoki, Y Aoki, K Bamba, E Bennett, R S
Chivukula, H Georgi, A Hasenfratz, D-K Hong, K Itoh, D Elander, G
Fleming, H Fukano, Y Iwasaki, M Jarvinen, D Kadoh, S Kim, R Kitano,
K-I Kondo, J Kuti, D Lin, N Maru, H Matsufuru, S Matsuzaki, K-I
Nagai, C Nonaka, H Ohki, E Pallante, M Rho, E Rinaldi, F Sannino, D
Schaich, A Shibata, R E Shrock, E H Simmons, K Tuominen, C H Wong,

The Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the
Universe (KMI) was founded at Nagoya University in 2010 under the
directorship of T Maskawa, in celebration of the 2008 Nobel Prize
in Physics for M Kobayashi and T Maskawa, both who are alumni of
Nagoya University. In commemoration of the new KMI building in
2011, the KMI Inauguration Conference (KMIIN) was organized to
discuss perspectives of various fields - both theoretical and
experimental studies of particle physics and astrophysics - as the
main objectives of the KMI activity. This proceedings contains a
welcome address by T Maskawa conveying his hopes for KMI to create
new revolutionary directions in the spirit of Shoichi Sakata, a
great mentor of both Maskawa and Kobayashi. Invited speakers,
world-leading scientists in the fields, and the young scientists at
KMI contributed to this volume containing theoretical studies of
strongly coupled gauge theories in view of LHC phenomenology,
string theory approach and lattice studies as well as hot/dense QCD
system, and also super-symmetric GUT models, etc., together with
experimental studies of LHC physics, B physics, neutrino physics
and the related astrophysics and cosmology. The volume yields a
unique synergy of particle physics and astrophysics, closely
related to the main activity of KMI encompassing particle theory
(including lattice computer simulations), particle physics
experiments, cosmology, and astrophysics observations.
