4 Hunting for BSM from the NYU time with Gian to the present low-energy high-precision physics hope

Starting from works with Gian on SUSY phenomenology, I'll move to
present and near-future results on BSM physics from the promising and
complementary frontier of the low-energy high-precision physics (EDMs
and MDMs, cLFV).

Speaker: Antonio Masiero (Univ. of Padova and INFN, IT)

5 Perturbative understanding of non-perturbative physics

Speaker: Gia Dvali

12:00 Lunch

6 G(ian) - 2

I will briefly discuss the present status of the g-2 anomaly, stressing the determination of the
hadronic vacuum polarization contribution by data driven and lattice methods. The impact
of new physics will be emphasized.

Speaker: Carlos Wagner

7 Forty years, and counting, with Gian

Speaker: Michelangelo Mangano (CERN)

8 Under Gian’s inspiration: from SILH to FCC

Speaker: Christophe Grojean (DESY (Hamburg) and Humboldt University (Berlin))

9 1

Speaker: Savas Dimopoulos (Unknown)

15:00 Coffee

10 Anomaly Mediated Drama

Speaker: Hitoshi Murayama (University of California Berkeley (US))

11 Higgs, Flavor, and the scale of New Physics

Speaker: Gino Isidori (University of Zurich (CH))

12 Some reflections on BSM, starting from Gian in Pisa

Speaker: Riccardo Barbieri (SNS)
