The accelerating expansion of the universe presents an exciting, fundamental challenge to the standard models of particle physics and cosmology. I highlight some of the outstanding challenges in both developing theoretical models and…
I review the prospects for future progress in accelerator-based particle physics
We summarize the recent results on electroweak physics and physics beyond the Standard Model that have been presented at the XIV International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering 2006.
The prospects of measuring masses, spin and CP properties within Supersymmetry and other beyond the Standard Model extensions at the LHC are reviewed. Emphasis is put on models with missing transverse energy due to undetected particles, as…
I discuss some central issues in particle physics which are potentially relevant to cosmology. I first briefly review the present (glorious) experimental status of the Standard Model, emphasizing that it provides a firm foundation both for…
In the first part of the talk, I give a low-resolution overview of the current state of particle physics - the triumph of the Standard Model and its discontents. I review and re-endorse the remarkably direct and (to me) compelling argument…
One hundred years ago this year attempts began to generalise general relativity with the ambition of incorporating electromagnetism alongside gravitation in a unified field theory. These developments led to gauge theories and models with…
Statistical physics has proven to be a very fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the realm of traditional physics. The last years have witnessed the attempt by physicists to study collective phenomena emerging from the…
The reader surely knows what particles physics is about: finding building blocks of nature that appear elementary at a given time and study their interactions - so why in the world this essay? The problem is how to arrive at a fundamental…
The present observational status of neutrino physics is sketched, with emphasis on the hints that follow from solar and atmospheric neutrino observations, as well as dark matter. I also briefly review the ways to account for the observed…
We review a number of theoretical developments in Precision Electroweak Physics that are closely connected with the interpretation of experiments. The emphasis is on the test of the Standard Model at the level of its quantum corrections,…
The discovery of the Standard Model Higgs boson opens up a range of speculative cosmological scenarios, from the formation of structure in the early universe immediately after the big bang, to relics from the electroweak phase transition…
In this summary we present the current status of the Standard Model of strong and electroweak interactions from the theoretical and experimental point of view. Some discussion is also devoted to the exploration of possible New Physics…
A new physics program has been initiated as part of the ongoing LHC physics run in the far-forward region, where dedicated FASER and SND@LHC experiments are currently taking data. We discuss the possible discovery prospects of this program…
The International Linear Collider (ILC) is likely to provide us important insights into the sector of physics that may supersede our current paradigm viz., the Standard Model. In anticipation of the possibility that the ILC may come up in…
Motivations for physics beyond the Standard Model are reviewed, with particular emphasis on supersymmetry at the TeV scale. Constraints on the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with universal soft supersymmetry-breaking…
Neutrino oscillations are a phenomenon that has been observed for over two decades and leads to the conclusion that neutrinos have mass. The Standard Model predicts massless neutrinos, and so neutrinos require physics beyond the Standard…
Current experimental limits for new physics beyond the Standard Model and hints for deviations from Standard Model expectations will be reviewed, highlighting recent results. Possible signals that will be discussed include Higgs bosons,…
The complementarity of $e^+e^-$ and $\gamma \gamma$ colliders to discover and explore new physics beyond the Standard Model(SM) is discussed. After briefly surveying a number of various new physics scenarios we concentrate in detail on…
In this note I present the main ideas of my proposal about the theoretical framework that could underlie, and therefore "unify", Quantum Mechanics and Relativity, and I briefly summarize the implications and predictions.
