In this presentation the development of the Alice experiment at the LHC will be described. The talk will continue with the main physics results of run-1 and run-2. During LS2 the Inner Tracking System (ITS) was completely replaced with a new silicon pixel tracker and the TPC readout was upgraded with GEM chambers. The Alice collaboration is preparing the third version of the ITS using bent...
The successful operation of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN has opened up a new era of exploration in particle physics, whose outstanding highlight so far has been the discovery of the Higgs boson. However, as the direct detection of new phenomena not captured by the Standard Model of particle physics has eluded us so far, the search for subtle deviations of measured data from theoretical...
This talk is to convince listeners that multi-Higgs-doublet models of electro-weak interactions offer viable and attractive extensions of the Standard Model. I will also discuss role that could be played by scalar singlets.
We shall review the status and prospects of unified gauge theories focusing on their calculability and testability at the existing and near future experimental facilities. The current standing of minimal unified models of the SU(5) and SO(10) type will be shortly commented upon.
No direct signal of Beyond Standard Model (BSM) Physics has been found at the LHC experiments for over a decade. The NA62 Experiment searches for BSM Physics signals with high intensity beam at low energies. Designed to study rare - or forbidden in the Standard Model - kaon decays it is currently in its Run 2 stage. Its Run 1 results based on data from 2016-2018 include detection of twenty...
