364 - Physics beyond the Standard Model

Guest: Valerie Domcke (theory.cern/roster/domcke-valerie) Host: Markus Voelter Shownoter: Andy Joiner

A while ago we had a whole series about LHC, ATLAS and particle physics in general. Despite all we know about what our world is made of and the explanatory power of the standard model, there is also a variety of open questions and currently unexplained phenomena. These include dark matter, dark energy, the neutrino mass, the CP violation, the hierarchy problem, and of course the unification of the standard model with gravitation. In this episode, CERN’s Valerie Domcke (theory.cern/roster/domcke-valerie) explains what it’s all about.
