Abstract:
The Large Hadron Collider has delivered the Higgs boson. A long term program of precision Higgs measurements both with the LHC and a new e+e- collider is regarded as being essential. Outside of the dedicated Higgs program, there is a range of proposed experiments which can perform explicit searches for new phenomena beyond the Standard Model (SM). In this seminar, I'll discuss SM problems (eg naturalness, strong CP, lack of baryogenesis ) and describe proposed experimental programs (collider and non-collider) which can address them. A backdrop to this seminar is the European Particle Physics Strategy which is being updated in 2018/2019 and which will attempt set a course for particle physics in the coming years.
