Phenomenology of Physics Beyond the Standard Model

Abstract

After a short introduction to the theoretical foundations and experimental tests of the standard model, grand unified theories, supersymmetry, leptoquarks, and hidden valley models will be treated among other topics. Thereby the phenomenological aspects, i.e. the search for new particles and interactions at existing and future particle accelerators will play a significant role.

Objective

The goal of the lecture is the introduction into several theoretical concepts that provide solutions for the open questions of the Standard Model of particle physics and thus lead to physics beyond the Standard Model. Besides the theoretical concepts the phenomenological aspects are discussed, i.e. the search for new particles and interactions at the existing and future particle accelerators.
