These lectures review the background to Higgs physics, its current status following the discovery of a/the Higgs boson at the LHC, models of Higgs physics beyond the Standard Model and prospects for Higgs studies in future runs of the LHC…
This is a Concluding Talk, not a Summary of the FPCP 2011 Conference. I will first make some comments on the status and the prospects of particle physics and then review some of the highlights that particularly impressed me at this…
The most celebrated aspects of precision physics are briefly summarized. New ideas are also introduced that may lead to further developments in the field of radiative corrections, with special emphasis to multi-loop numerical evaluation and…
A selection of recent results on searches for phenomena beyond the Standard Model is presented from the LEP Collaborations, based on the data collected up to the highest centre-of-mass energies of 209 GeV.
This is a historical account from my personal perspective of the development over the last few decades of the standard model of particle physics. The model is based on gauge theories, of which the first was quantum electrodynamics,…
The main physics topics of interest at LEP2, the CERN electron-positron collider with center-of-mass energy in the range (161-192) GeV, are reviewed. Progresses in both the precision tests of the standard model and the field of discovery…
The status of the LEP 1 results, the LEP 2 perspectives and some recent developments in the high energy behavior of electron-positron annihilation are briefly discussed.
The end of LEP and SLC is a good moment to review the way to summarize search results in order to exploit at best, in future analyses and speculations, the pieces of information coming from all experiments. Some known problems with the…
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…
This paper gives an overview of some of the more interesting results obtained at LEP in tau physics: precision measurements in neutral and charged currents universality and structure, tau mass, topological and exclusive Branching Ratios.
Extensive searches for new phenomena have been performed at LEP. The principal aspects and results of those not related to Higgs bosons are reviewed here.
A condensed survey of various aspects of LEP 1 physics is presented with a critical examination of the ingredients that are available for theoretical predictions. A prototype of comparisons for 2f calculations can be found in…
These lectures provide a concise introduction to the so-called "Beyond the Standard Model"' physics, with particular emphasis on the problem of the microscopic origin of the Higgs mass term and of the Electro-Weak symmetry breaking scale in…
Following a general introduction to open questions beyond the Standard Model, the prospects for addressing them in the new era opened up by the LHC are reviewed. Sample highlights are given of ways in which the LHC is already probing beyond…
Ten years into the LHC physics programme, I reflect on the vast amount of extraordinary results that have emerged so far.
The results of searches for several type of physics beyond the Standard Model using data from the four LEP experiments are presented. In the absence of any excess signal events seen in the data limits are placed on the existence of…
Some experimental new Electroweak physics results measured at the LEP/SLD and the TEVATRON are discussed. The excellent accuracy achieved by the experiments still yield no significant evidence for deviation from the Standard Model…
These lectures aim at providing a pedagogical overview of neutrino physics. We will mostly deal with standard neutrinos, the ones that are part of the Standard Model of particle physics, and with their standard dynamics, which is enough to…
We put forth conclusions and suggestions regarding the presentation of the LHC Higgs results that may help to maximize their impact and their utility to the whole High Energy Physics community.
This paper is based on lectures presented to mathematical physicists and attempts to provide an overview of the present status of the Standard Model, its experimental tests, phenomenological and experimental motivations for going beyond the…
