This constitutes a major achievement in the domain of the enigma of mass. The consortium played a key role in both this discovery and the exploitation of the early results on the Higgs couplings. The experimental data acquired so far point to the simplest, renormalizable version of spontaneous symmetry breaking. Non-discovery of new physics at the LHC, combined with the particular value of the Higgs mass, has ushered a new paradigm. Enigmass2 will probe some of the key issues of this new landscape. Higgs physics and the concomitant understanding of the structure of the vacuum feature prominently in its research program. Searches for sources of CP violation beyond the standard model (SM) are the second key theme as they are relevant to the matter/anti-matter asymmetry in the Universe. 9 \\ 8 10 \\ 9 11 **Work package 2: Gravitational waves and multi-messenger science** 10 12 \\ 11 13 [[Image(https://i1.wp.com/public.virgo-gw.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/GravitationalWaveSketch.jpg,width=250)]] 14 \\ 15 The discovery of gravitational waves (GW) was one of the major milestones achieved during Enigmass1, opening up a rich science program initiated with the results obtained from the binary black hole and binary neutron star mergers detected so far by LIGO and Virgo. The binary neutron star merger GW170817 was also a spectacular and ground-breaking multi-messenger event, with its short gamma ray burst and kilonova counterparts. Multi-wavelength and multi-messenger observations are key tools to characterize GW sources, the high-energy sky, and cosmic rays, in order to address major open questions in fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Through remarkable synergies, the consortium is in a unique position to have a high-impact contribution in this line of research within Enigmass2, through experimental and theoretical activities, including strong involvement in several ESFRI projects. 12 16 \\ 13 17 \\ … … 19 23 \\ 20 24 \\ 21 A detailed description of the LabEx is availabe [here].25 A detailed description of the !LabEx is availabe [here].
