Tuesday 3: Standard Model
- Eberhard Widmann (Austrian Academy of Sciences (AT))
A precise knowledge of the elements $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ of the CKM matrix is important to constraint the Standard Model of particle physics and predict the rate of ultra-rare $B$ meson decays such as $B\to\mu\nu$ or $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$. In this talk I will review the experimental status of these fundamental parameters with a focus on the latest developments and new results from the Belle...
The latest results of Higgs boson searches beyond the Standard Model are reviewed from the ATLAS and CMS experiments. This includes searches for additional neutral, charged and double charged Higgs-like bosons, searches for dark matter produced in association with a Higgs boson and sesarches for new physics in Higgs boson pair production processes. Exotic Higgs boson decays are addressed as...
The superweak (SW) force is a minimal, anomaly-free U(1) extension of the standard model (SM), designed to explain the origin of (i) neutrino masses and mixing matrix elements, (ii) dark matter, (iii) cosmic inflation, (iv) stabilization of the electroweak vacuum and (v) leptogenesis. In this talk we discuss how the parameter space of the model is constrained by providing viable scenarios for...
