Despite its incredible success, culminating in the discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC, the Standard Model leaves much to be desired: aside from missing ingredients crucial for our cosmological history, it cannot be extended to arbitrarily short distances and contains a number of patterns and hierarchies that lack a deeper, physical explanation. Fortunately, its rich structure provides us with a number of avenues to search for new physics. |
