Gordon Research Conference on Particle Physics : Prospects of Particle Physics at the 13TeV Large Hadron Collider

There are compelling reasons for us to believe that the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is not complete. Theoretically, the mass of the SM Higgs boson receives quadratically divergent corrections at the quantum level and hence is not stable. Stabilizing the Higgs mass requires the existence of beyond-the-SM (BSM) physics. Cosmologically, observations reveal that the total mass of the Universe today is largely composed of dark matter (DM). Our knowledge on the DM properties (e.g., its species, mass, interaction) however is very poor. In addition we do not understand why there is more baryonic matter than anti-baryonic matter in the Universe. While both cosmic mysteries involve physics of the large scale, solving them heavily depends on physics of the small scale and requires the BSM physics as well.
