Seminar at ECT* on Anomalies in particle physics

Anomalies in particle physics

While no new particles beyond those of the Standard Model (SM) have been discovered (unequivocally) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), there exists a set of interesting “anomalies”.  These deviations from SM predictions point towards new physics. They range over several orders of magnitude in energy, i.e. from tensions in beta decays to high-energy jets at the LHC, and could guide us towards the construction of a theory superseding the SM. In this talk, I review these anomalies together with possible beyond-the-SM explanations.
