| Abstract: | The long-anticipated discovery of a Higgs-like boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in July 2012 has been a milestone for elementary particle physics. Yet, searches for new particles beyond those contained in the Standard Model have so far not led to new insights. Whatever Nature has prepared for us to discover, she hides it very well. Indirect searches for new physics, combining precision measurements at high luminosities with accurate theoretical calculations, therefore remain of crucial importance. I will discuss several examples of such searches, including Higgs physics, rare flavor-changing processes, electroweak precision tests, and searches for new interactions. |
| Speaker: | Matthias Neubert - University of Mainz
 Professor Neubert earned his Ph.D. in theoretical physics in 1990 from the University of Heidelberg. After posdocs at Heidelberg and SLAC, he spent five years on the CERN staff, and has been on the faculty at Heidelberg, Cornell and the Johannes Gutenburg University in Mainz. He is currently director of the Mainz Institute for Theoretical Physics. His research interests include QCD and collider physics, flavor physics and CP violation, effective field theories and physics beyond the standard model.
