Herr Prof. Dr. Hartmut Wittig vom Institut für Kernphysik der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz spricht zum Thema "Exploring the limits of the Standard Model".

Abstract: The particle content of the Standard Model has been completely established following the discovery of the Higgs boson. While the Standard Model describes all known phenomena in accelerator-based experiments, it leaves many important questions unanswered: what is the reason for the large asymmetry between the abundance of matter and anti-matter? What is the nature of dark matter? In this talk I describe several attempts to detect signals for physics beyond the Standard Model using precision experiments at low energies. Furthermore, I discuss the role of lattice Quantum Chromodynamics for these efforts.
