The nature of cosmological dark matter finds its explanation in physics beyond the Standard model of elementary particles. The landscape of dark matter candidates contains a wide variety of species, either elusive or hardly detectable in…
Heavy flavour physics provides excellent opportunities to indirectly search for new physics at very high energy scales and to study hadron properties for deep understanding of the strong interaction. The LHCb experiment has been playing a…
We review new results on strong and electroweak interactions, flavour physics, cosmic rays and cosmology, which were presented at this conference, focussing on physics beyond the Standard Models. Special emphasis is given to the Higgs…
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is sensitive to signals of beyond the Standard Model physics through a variety of channels including missing energy and resonance searches. In most searches, the new physics and the Standard Model backgrounds…
In this contribution I will highlight the new challenges for top quark physics at LHC Run II, focusing in particular on the interplay between precision studies on the top quark and searches for new physics. A new strategy to search for…
The Standard Model is in good shape, apart possibly from g_\mu - 2 and some niggling doubts about the electroweak data. Something like a Higgs boson is required to provide particle masses, but theorists are actively considering…
We review scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model in which the top quark plays a special role. Models that aim at the stabilization of the weak scale are presented together with the specific phenomenology of partner states that are…
The next generation of experiments in particle physics will for the first time systematically test flavor physics models based on flavon fields. Starting from the current quark-flavor constrains on such models we show how the new generation…
The complementarity between results anticipated from SuperB with those from the LHC experiments is discussed here. SuperB can contribute to searches for new physics using indirect constraints via precision tests of the standard model. In…
In this new era of large data, it is important to make sure we do not miss any signs of new physics. Using the publicly-available open data collected by the arXiv.org experiment in the \texttt{hep-ph} channel, corresponding to a raw total…
A natural solution to the hierarchy problem of the Fermi scale motivates signals of New Physics at current and near future experiments. After a critical synthesis of this general motivation, we concentrate our attention on the interplay…
Axion-like particles (ALPs) are ubiquitous in models of new physics explaining some of the most pressing puzzles of the Standard Model. However, until relatively recently, little attention has been paid to its interplay with flavour. In…
In the last 50 years we have seen how an initially ad-hoc and not widely accepted theory of the strong and electroweak interactions (Standard Theory: ST) has correctly predicted the entire accelerator based experimental observations with…

The search for new physics in top quark decays at the LHC is reviewed in this paper. Results from ATLAS and CMS experiments on top quark decays within the Standard Model are presented together with the measurements of the W boson…
High energy physics aims to understand the fundamental laws of particles and their interactions at both the largest and smallest scales of the universe. This typically means probing very high energies or large distances or using…
Leptoquarks (LQ) are predicted by many new physics theories to describe the similarities between the lepton and quark sectors of the Standard Model and offer an attractive potential explanation for the lepton flavour anomalies observed at…
In the companion paper it was shown that there are six observables in $gg\to t \bar t \to (b \bar b c) (\bar b \ell \bar \nu)$ that can be used to reveal the presence of new physics (NP) in $t \to b \bar b c$. In the present paper we…

Searches for New Particles including future sensitivity prospects are reviewed. The main focus is placed on results obtained at LEP, HERA and the Tevatron on generic searches such as searches for excited fermions, searches for leptoquarks…
