Physics after the discovery of the Higgs boson
J. J. van der Bij
TL;DR
The discovery of the Higgs boson marks a paradigm shift towards minimalistic extensions of the Standard Model, emphasizing precision measurements over high energy to uncover new physics.
Contribution
It proposes a new approach focusing on precision rather than energy to explore physics beyond the Standard Model after the Higgs discovery.
Findings
Shift towards minimalistic extensions of the Standard Model
Emphasis on precision measurements for new physics
Future research should prioritize precision over energy
Abstract
I show that with the discovery of the Higgs boson we have entered a new phase of our understanding of nature. This leads us towards a paradigm shift in the search for possible new physics, away from major extensions like supersymmetry towards minimalistic extensions, that largely preserve the structure of the standard model. To discover such new physics, precision may be more important than energy. Precision = Discovery! A possible path for the future is sketched.
