2. Current challenges in particle physics and cosmology
Phenomenology of the Standard Model
- strong nuclear force
- flavours
- GUTs
- Higgs sector
Supersymmetry
- does it exist?
- role in unifying gravity with other forces
TOE
Dark matter and dark energy

3. Strong force – quantum chromodynamics
fragmentation
exotic states

4. Flavours 3 generations? Leptonic sector – massive neutrinos
Weak eigenstates not energy eigenstates
Leptonic sector – massive neutrinos
- Majorana or Dirac?
3 generations?

5. CP (charge-parity) violation –
matter-antimatter asymmetry

6. Hierarchy problem
supersymmetry?
extra dimensions?

7. Grand Unification - how is QCD unified w electroweak?
gauge bosons, leptoquarks
proton decay

8. Supersymmetry Supergravity – unification with gravity Superpartners?
GUT
Gravity from fields

9. Theories of everything
Extra dimensions
Superstrings
Branes, M, etc
QCD + EW from curvature

10. Dark matter – non-baryonic – stable neutrinos? – flavours
superparticles?
from galaxy rotation;
cosmology

11. Dark energy
what?

12. Efforts in experimental particle physics by Malaysia
Energy frontier
LHC
Intensity frontier
JPARC Belle SuperKEKB
Cosmic frontier

13. ZEUS High energy electron on proton
- ended 2007, data analysis still ongoing
electronics – read-out control
hadron caloimetry
fragmentation – baryons, strange correlations
pentaquarks
particle production – exlusive, diffractive

14. Data MC
exclusive Y'

15. CMS TeV proton on proton - running electromagnetic calorimetry grid
jets
SUSY

16. Belle II High intensity B factory - operating 2014 drift chamber
muon detector
Monte Carlo
cloud
rare events - exclusive

17. COMET High intensity muon beam - initial stages Monte Carlo
flavour-changing muons
