The naturalness principle motivated the theoretical expectation that light scalars cannot exist unless they come together with new physics that protects their lightness, such as supersymmetry. But LHC run I discovered the Higgs scalar without any sign of new physics. I review and reconsider the issue of naturalness, proposing a possible modification.

I present an overview of the theoretical status of flavour and CP violation. Emphasis is put on the route towards the discovery and identivication of BSM flavour structures by
1. determining the CKM elements from tree level decays
2. identifying benchmark observables with large BSM sensitivity
3. linking observations in various weak meson decays with each other as well as with high-p_T data...

The lack of evidence for NP in direct searches at the TeV scale, has increased the relevance
of the indirect searches able to test much larger energy scales. In this talk I will review the
status of the indirect searches in Charm and B-mesons decays and briefly discuss
Lepton Flavour Violation decays.

I will review recent developments in the theory of particle dark matter, with special attention to the distinction between cold, warm and self-interacting dark matter, the potential signals of ``Light WIMPs" in direct dark matter detection experiments, the significance of some hints of dark matter in indirect detection and
LHC limits on dark matter particles.

The universe as pictured by the recent data release of the Planck satellite is remarkably “simple”, well described by a LCDM model. However, few anomalies are present in the data, that might hint towards interesting developments.
I will present the constraints on cosmological parameters as obtained from the recent data release of the Planck collaboration, focusing on the most interesting results.

The AMS-02 detector is a wide acceptance high-energy physics experiment operating since May 2011 onboard of the International Space Station. It consists of six complementary sub-detectors providing measurement on the energy, the mass and the charge leading to an unambiguous identification of the cosmic rays. To date, 40 billion cosmic ray events have been collected. Performance of AMS in...

I reflect on the need for physics beyond the standard model in light of the
discovery of a Higgs particle that appears to be consistent with the standard model predictions.
