Abstract

I will start with an overview of some of the most important open questions in particle physics Some of these issues require and other strongly suggest the existence of yet unknown particles and fields in nature I will argue that the Standard Model is just an effective partial description of a more fundamental theory that stands behind it and is yet to be discovered I will then focus on the puzzle of the electroweak Planck hierarchy where hints about the underlying mechanism are likely to be within the reach of the Large Hadron Collider LHC at CERN In the last part of the talk I will describe my recent and ongoing theoretical work on interpreting LHC results and proposing new search directions for the physics behind the electroweak Planck hierarchy and other new phenomena that may be accessible at the LHC Refreshments are served at 15:15
