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…

Starting in two years from now, particle physics will enter a new regime in terms of energies and luminosities, thanks to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. This report summarizes the status of the preparations, both for the machine…

I will argue that the same kind of reasoning, which led us to predict the opening of a new chapter in hadron physics, may shed some light on the existence of new physics at the as yet unexplored energy scales of LHC.

In this talk I summarize the physics case of the International Linear Collider (ILC) focusing on its potential towards discovery, discrimation or disentanglement of new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM).

This review is focused on QCD theoretical issues and their phenomenological relevance specially for LHC. It is incomplete and mostly neglects the phenomenology of long distance physics

I discuss LHC physics in the historical perspective of the progress in particle physics. After a recap of the Standard Model of particle physics, I discuss the high energy colliders leading up to LHC and their role in the discovery of these…

I briefly summarize the prospects for extending our understanding of physics beyond the standard model within the next five years.

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…

We present a concise review of where we stand in particle physics today. First we discuss QCD, then the electroweak sector and finally the motivations and the avenues for new physics beyond the Standard Model.

I review the predictions of the total cross section for many models, and point out that some of them lead to the conclusion that the standard experimental analysis may lead to systematic errors much larger than expected.

The LHC data have confirmed the Standard Model as the correct theory at the electroweak scale. It successfully explains the experimental results with high precision and all its ingredients, including the Higgs boson, have been finally…

We have a well-established standard model for cosmology and prospects for considerable additions from work in progress. I offer a list of elements of the standard model, comments on controversies in the interpretation of the evidence in…

I will discuss the recent LHC and Planck results, which are completely compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, and the standard cosmological model ($\Lambda$CDM), respectively. It turns out that the extension of the Standard…

I review the status of today's theoretical description of Standard Model processes relevant for Tevatron and LHC analyses, and of the tools that are used in phenomenological studies. I will also discuss a few recent ideas to further refine…

A wealth of data on hadronic b -> s transitions is available from the B-factories and will be improved at the LHCb experiment and possible future super-B-factories. I review the theory of these decays as it pertains to the search for…

This talk gives a theoretical perspective of the physics issues awaiting us when heavy ions will collide in the LHC.

Here I briefly discuss why supersymmetry is considered a leading candidate of physics beyond the standard model. I also highlight the salient features of different supersymmetry breaking models. A few other symmetries, broken or intact,…

Ignorance of the form new physics will take suggests the importance of systematically analyzing all data collected at the energy frontier, with the goal of maximizing the chance for discovery both before and after the turn on of the LHC.

A brief review of the fundamental ideas behind electroweak baryogenesis is presented. Since a successful implementation of these ideas requires an extension of the minimal standard model, I comment on the necessary physics and how…

Fundamental particle physics is at a cross road. On the one hand the Standard Model successfully accounts for all experimental observations to date. On the other hand the ElectroWeak symmetry breaking mechanism is poorly understood and…
