The Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics will centre around the High-Luminosity operation of the LHC. Further input is being received till the end of 2018 to put in place a most comprehensive strategy – also on a global basis – that includes coverage of the burning questions till the middle of the coming decade. The Physics Beyond Colliders Study is an important element.

The LHC has observed a number of potentially interesting deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model in the flavor sector, in particular in the decays of B-mesons. This talk offers a review of the experimental status of these anomalies, and their implications for physics beyond the Standard Model and associated signatures at the LHC and beyond.

An important test of the Standard Model (SM) electroweak symmetry breaking sector is the measurement of the Higgs self-interactions. Sensitivity to the Higgs self-coupling for mH = 125 GeV is evaluated through the measurement of the non-resonant di-Higgs production final states. The considered decay channels are HH → VVbb, where V=W,Z. For the non-resonant SM signal in an ideal detector...

This parallel talk should give an overview of recent developments in the QCD phenomenology underlying general purpose Monte Carlo event generators, and the role of these developments concerning treatment of nuclei. The focus should be on soft particle production, and its function in determining the differences and similarities between the underlying dynamics of ultra relativistic proton-proton...

Many proposed extensions of the Standard Model contain particles with macroscopic life-times; decaying outside of the interaction point. Such particles pose unique challenges at the LHC. This talk provides an overview of the current status of these searches, as well as prospects for new experiments (e.g. MATHUSLA, FASER, SHIP, and CODEX-b) at the LHC which can close some interesting regions of...

Present fits of the b->sll Wilson coefficients treat the non-local charm contributions as a systematic theoretical uncertainty. The theoretical basis of the underlying non-local hadronic matrix elements is introduced, and ways toward constraining them in future fits are discussed.
