The discovery of the Standard Model Scalar Boson (Brout-Englert-Higgs particle) opens a new field of research, namely the structure of the scalar sector. Numerous extensions exist, and imply extra particles, including additional scalars.…
We survey some recent ideas and progress in looking for particle physics beyond the Standard Model, connected by the theme of Supersymmetry (SUSY). We review the success of SUSY-GUT models, the expected experimental signatures and present…
