Model Building and Phenomenology of Particle Physics

 

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics gives a successful description of high-energy processes but leaves many questions unanswered, like the origin of the electroweak symmetry breaking or the nature of the Dark Matter in the Universe. Finding an extension of the SM and a solution to these puzzles is the ultimate goal guiding our work. We are interested both in the construction of new models and in the investigation of their phenomenological consequences. An important role in this sense is played by physics at current and future colliders. Searches for new particles and a precise determination of the properties of the Higgs boson give powerful probes of new physics and are among the topics studied by our group.
