An overview of recent theoretical developments in rare leptonic B decays is given. New physics effects on branching ratio and CP violation in the decays are analyzed in models beyond SM (supersymmetric models and two Higgs doublet models).
The quark sector of the Standard Model exhibits an approximate U(2)^3 flavour symmetry. This symmetry, broken in specific directions dictated by minimality, can explain the success of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa picture of flavour mixing…
Experimental study at LHC of the possible Higgs boson should soon provide accurate estimates of the Yukawa couplings $Y_{H\bar{f}f}$ for $f=t,b,\tau$. In the presence of a non-abelian discrete flavor symmetry $G_F$ (e.g. T') the usual…
This is a personal summary of points made during, and arising from the symposium, drawing largely from the talks presented there. The Standard Model is doing fine, including QCD, the electroweak sector and flavour physics. The good news is…
The LHC experiments have searched for and excluded many proposed Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories. However, there are many scenarios where LHC has little or no sensitivity. Electron-positron colliders offers a different avenue for…
The LHCb experiment has a broad and varied physics programme, extending far beyond its core set of flavour physics measurements. This contribution summarises recent electroweak scale measurements and searches for exotic states in the dimuon…

I start with a brief introduction to Higgs mechanism and supersymmetry. Then I discuss the theoretical expectations, current limits and search strategies for Higgs boson(s) at LHC --- first in the SM and then in the MSSM. Finally I discuss…
Studying the properties of the Higgs boson can be an important window to explore the physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In this work, we present studies on the implications of the Higgs precision measurements at future Higgs Factories.…
We consider the implications of current LHC data on new physics with strongly interacting sector(s). We parametrize the relevant interaction Lagrangian and study the best fit values in light of current data. These are then considered within…
To maximise the information obtained from various independent new physics searches conducted at the LHC, it is imperative to consider the combination of multiple analyses. To showcase the exclusion power gained by combining signal regions…
We emphasize the power of correlations between flavour observables in the search for New Physics and identify a number of correlations that could allow to discover New Physics even if it would appear at the level of 20% of the Standard…
The LHCb experiment has the potential, during the 2010-11 run, to observe the rare decay $B^0_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ or improve significantly its exclusion limits. This study will provide very sensitive probes of New Physics (NP) effects. High…
We study the five chirality-flipping interactions that appear in the top-Higgs sector at leading order in the standard model effective field theory. We consider constraints from collider observables, flavor physics, and…
A brief review of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model in photonic final states at LEP is given here. These include searches for supersymmetry, large extra dimensions and contact interactions. Recent results from all four LEP…
Dark matter candidates arising in models of particle physics incorporating weak scale supersymmetry may produce detectable signals through their annihilation into neutrinos, photons, or positrons. A large number of relevant experiments are…

I give a brief review of some of the opportunities and challenges that could arise in our quest to unravel the Higgs sector that very probably underlies electroweak symmetry breaking. In particular, I review scenarios with an extended Higgs…
We present a reinterpretation of CMS searches for type-III seesaw lepton triplets at the LHC, both for the normal and the inverse seesaw. We find that, in contrast with previous expectations, these searches in the trilepton final state have…
