The standard model of fundamental interactions is remarkably successful, but it leaves an unfinished agenda. Several major questions seem ripe for exploration in the near future. I anticipate that the coming decade will be a Golden Age of discovery in fundamental physics.

AbstractWe discuss some highlights of the FCC-$$ee$$ ee flavor physics program. It will help to explore various aspects of flavor physics: to test precision calculations, to probe nonperturbative QCD methods, and to increase the sensitivity to physics beyond the standard model. In some areas, FCC-$$ee$$ ee will do much better than current and near-future experiments. We briefly discuss several probes that can be relevant for maximizing the gain from the FCC-$$ee$$ ee flavor program.

Making use of the geometric formulation of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory we calculate the one-loop tadpole diagrams to all orders in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory power counting. This work represents the first calculation of a one-loop amplitude beyond leading order in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, and discusses the potential to extend this methodology to perform similar calculations of observables in the near future.

Three main strategies are being pursued to search for nongravitational dark matter signals: direct detection, indirect detection and collider searches. Interestingly, experiments have reached sensitivities in these three search strategies which may allow detection in the near future. In order to take full benefit of the wealth of experimental data, and in order to confirm a possible dark matter signal, it is necessary to specify the nature of the dark matter particle and of the mediator to the Standard Model. In this paper, we focus on a simplified model where the dark matter particle is a Majorana fermion that couples to a light Standard Model fermion via a Yukawa coupling with a scalar mediator. We review the observational signatures of this model and we discuss the complementarity among the various search strategies, with emphasis in the well motivated scenario where the dark matter particles are produced in the early universe via thermal freeze-out.

We update the analysis of the precision electroweak tests in terms of four epsilon parameters, ε1,2,3,b, to obtain more accurate experimental values of them by taking into account the new LEP data released at the 28th ICHEP (Poland, 1996). We also compute ε1 and εb in the context of the no-scale SU (5)× U (1) supergravity model to obtain the updated constraints by imposing the correlated constraints in terms of the experimental ellipses in the ε1–εb plane and also by imposing the new conservative bound on the lightest chargino mass, [Formula: see text]. Upon imposing these new experimental results, we find that the situations in the no-scale model are much more favorable than those in the standard model, and if mt≳ 170 GeV, then the allowed regions at the 95% C.L. in the no-scale model are tan β≳ 4 and [Formula: see text] for μ>0 (μ< 0), which are in fact much more stringent than in our previous analysis. Therefore, assuming that mt≳ 170 GeV, if the lightest chargino mass bound were to be pushed up to 82 GeV, the sign on the Higgs mixing term μ in the no-scale model could well be determined from the ε1–εb constraint to be positive at the 95% C.L. At any rate, better accuracy in the measured mt from the Tevatron in the near future combined with the LEP data is most likely to provide a decisive test of the no-scale SU (5)× U (1) supergravity model.

The Standard Model (SM) 2020 of weak, electromagnetic and strong interactions, based on gauge symmetry and spontaneous symmetry breaking, describes all known fundamental interactions at the microscopic scale except gravity and, perhaps, interactions with dark matter. The SM model has been tested systematically in collider experiments, and in the case of strong interactions (quantum chromodynamics) also with numerical simulations. With the discovery in 2012 of the Higgs particle at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN), all particles of the SM have been identified, and most parameters have been measured. Still, the Higgs particle remains the most mysterious particle of the SM, since it is responsible for all the parameters of the SM except gauge couplings and since it leads to the fine-tuning problem. The discovery of its origin, and the precise study of its properties should be, in the future, one of the most important field of research in particle physics. Since we know now that the neutrinos have masses, the simplest extension of the SM implies Dirac neutrinos. With such a minimal modification, consistent so far (2020) with experimental data, the lepton and quark sectors have analogous structures: the lepton sector involves a mixing matrix, like the quark sector (three angles have been determined, the fourth charge conjugation parity (CP) violating angle is still unknown).

In the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) the interactions between the SUSY particles and the Standard Model (SM) particles can contribute to the lepton flavor violation (LFV) decays of vector mesons at loop level. Taking the constraint on the lightest Higgs mass around 126 GeV, we study these decays by a scan over the parameter space which gives the predictions on μ-e conversion and τ→μγ satisfying the experimental bounds. The branching ratios of the vector mesons decays into eμ are strongly suppressed. However, the branching ratios of the heavy flavor mesons decays into τμ can reach the experimental sensitivity in near future. Therefore, the experimental signals of these decays may serve as a probe of the MSSM.

The understanding of the dynamics behind the breaking of the electroweak symmetry is one of the most important goals in the field of high energy physics. In the Standard Model (SM) Higgs mechanism plays a key role in the symmetry breaking, one manifestation of which is spin-0 Higgs boson. Thus the search for the Higgs boson is one of the flag-ship analyses at the Tevatron. Over the past few years the CDF experiment has made significant improvements in its sensitivity on the search for the SM Higgs boson. In this paper we summarize CDF's most recent results on the searches for the SM Higgs boson production at the Tevatron using data samples of integrated luminosities up to 3 fb-1. We also present the Tevatron's latest combined results on the SM Higgs boson search, and discuss the possibility that it could be found at the Tevatron in the near future.

Rule Out

Many works, aiming to explain the origin of dark matter or dark energy, consider the existence of hidden (brane)worlds parallel to our own visible world — our usual Universe — in a multidimensional bulk. Hidden braneworlds allow for hidden copies of the Standard Model. For instance, atoms hidden in a hidden brane could exist as dark matter candidates. As a way to constrain such hypotheses, the possibility for neutron–hidden neutron swapping can be tested thanks to disappearance-reappearance experiments also known as passing-through-walls neutron experiments. The neutron-hidden neutron coupling [Formula: see text] can be constrained from those experiments. While [Formula: see text] could be arbitrarily small, previous works involving a [Formula: see text] bulk, with DGP branes, show that [Formula: see text] then possesses a value which is reachable experimentally. It is of crucial interest to know if a reachable value for [Formula: see text] is universal or not and to estimate its magnitude. Indeed, it would allow, in a near future, to reject definitively — or not — the existence of hidden braneworlds from experiments. In the present paper, we explore this issue by calculating [Formula: see text] for DGP branes, for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] bulks. As a major result, no disappearance-reappearance experiment would definitively universally rules out the existence of hidden worlds endowed with their own copy of Standard Model particles, except for specific scenarios with conditions reachable in future experiments.
