Answering questions such as "What is dark matter?" or "What happened directly after the Big Bang?" requires finding new physics, like not yet known particles or forces. Via quantum effects such new physics will contribute tiny amounts to properties of known particles and could be discovered by observing small deviations between experiments and theoretical predictions.

Please join Prof Laurent Lellouch (BMW collaboration) and Prof Christoph Lehner (RBC-UKQCD collaboration) for this year’s Higgs Centre Summer Forum
