Our Project
In the next five years, experiments will give us a unique
opportunity to unravel the mysteries of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, Flavor and Dark
Matter. The LHC at CERN will push the Energy frontier well into the TeV region and
shed light on electroweak symmetry breaking. The LHCb experiment, super-B factories
and other dedicated experiments, also in the lepton sector, will push forward the
Intensity frontier and test the Standard Model description of flavor and CP
violation with unprecedented accuracy. Earth- and space-based experiments will push
forward the Astroparticle frontier, in particular direct and indirect searches for Dark
Matter. Our goal is to identify a coherent explanation of the three mysteries, as
complete and as unique as possible, by combining the vast information coming from
the Energy, Intensity and Astroparticle frontiers. This requires a global
strategy, making use of highly qualified competences in the relevant branches of theory
and phenomenology. We will put together some of the leading particle theorists
operating in SISSA, Padua and Rome into a unique and extraordinarily strong team. The
variety of competences, ranging from phenomenological fits and data interpretation
to unified models and fundamental theories, will be used to interpret the results
coming from a wide range of experiments and to formulate a coherent framework to
account for them.
