Higgs Physics at LHC and Beyond
The discovery of a Higgs boson at the LHC raises (almost) as many questions as it answers. Is it an elementary particle, or composite? Are there other Higgs bosons? Is the vacuum stable? Are there other particles at the TeV scale waiting to be discovered at the LHC or in dark matter experiments? This talk will answer none of these questions.

Experimental results from and prospects at LHC and new facilities.
I will concentrate on hadron colliders, although I will also discuss (briefly) neutrino physics, e+e- colliders etc

I will review recent observational results in particle astrophysics/cosmology, focussing on new data from Planck and from AMS-02 & IceCube, and discuss how the universe can be used as a laboratory for probing fundamental physics.

The average quantum physicist on the street would say that a quantum-mechanical Hamiltonian must be Dirac Hermitian (invariant under combined matrix transposition and complex conjugation) in order to guarantee that the energy eigenvalues are real and that time evolution is unitary. However, the Hamiltonian $H=p^2+ix^3$, which is obviously not Dirac Hermitian, has a positive real discrete...

The prospects for tests of C, P, and CP using triple product asymmetries in quark, charged lepton, and boson decay are discussed, and possibilities of testing CP, T and CPT with entangled pairs of neutral mesons will be reviewed.
