The discovery made in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in its ATLAS and CMS experiments of a new particle with a mass and properties consistent with the Higgs boson has undoubtedly determined the way forward in high-energy physics for the next years.
On the one hand, we need more precise measurements of its properties to reliably determine its nature and understand the mechanism of symmetry break. On the other hand, it is imperative to push the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model to a new level. We know with certainty that such a physics exists. Neutrino oscillations and the discovery of dark matter and dark energy have shown us clearly that this is the case.
Today, as never before, we have the data (of accelerators, and cosmological
experiments) that will reveal some of the mysteries that high energy physics still hides.
And there we are…. Looking for answers….
