SUMMARY:Precision physics: the road to discoveries at the LHC - Dr Alexand
 er Mitov\, CERN
DTSTART:20130604T104500Z

CONTACT:Leona Hope-Coles
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to new experimental capabilities\, including collider a
 nd cosmological observations\, many longstanding paradigms and open proble
 ms in particle physics can nowadays be tested directly. The prominent exam
 ple is the recent discovery of a Higgs boson\, which is so new\, the parti
 cle's positive identification is still pending. Massive effort is well und
 erway to test for the existence of new physics that could eventually expla
 in the other outstanding problem: Dark Matter\, and much more. \n\nBased o
 n the results accumulated during the last several years\, it seems increas
 ingly likely that the future exploratory power of the LHC will critically 
 depend on the precision with which collider measurements are modeled. In t
 his talk I'll present the recent breakthroughs in precision phenomenology 
 and demonstrate with specific examples their power in both Standard Model 
 and Beyond the Standard Model applications. In conclusion\, I'll briefly t
 ouch upon our expectations about the future of particle physics.
