There are (at least) two complementary strategies for searches of new
physics phenomena which go beyond the standard model (SM) of particle
physics:
- Push the energy frontier with
increasingly energetic colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
- Perform precision tests of the SM allowing for indirect searches of new physics.
Note: In the case of a discovery at the LHC, SM precision tests will be powerful
discriminators between different theoretical models explaining the LHC results.
