Precision measurements to discover new scalar and vector particles (PRECISION)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2021,

The Standard Model of particle physics successfully describes all known particles and their interactions. However, questions like the nature of dark matter or the hierarchy of masses and couplings of quarks and leptons remain to be understood. Hence, one searches for new phenomena that will lead to a superior theory that can explain these questions. All such theories introduce additional quantum c ...
