Sven Heinemeyer Instituto de Fisica Teorica, UAM/CSIC, Madrid   The LHC sees a SM-like Higgs boson at 125 GeV and puts bounds on extended Higgs sectors and other BSM physics. We discuss the status of SUSY taking all current bounds into account. In particular we show that a 125 GeV SM-like Higgs boson can [...]

Karl Landsteiner Instituto de Física Teórica, UAM/CSIC, Madrid   Chiral anomalies are dear to the heart of the high energy physicist. They explain otherwise forbidden decays and constrain theories. But in recent years it has turned out that anomalies also play a major role in quantum many body physics from the quark [...]

Laura Lopez-Honorez Université Libre de Bruxelles   I will discuss simple extension of the Minimal Dark Matter (MDM) framework in which a Majorana and two Weyl fermionic electroweak multiplets are coupled to the Standard Model Higgs doublet through Yukawa couplings. In particular I will summarize the generic features of all [...]

Hayato Motohashi Instituto de Fíisica Corpuscular   Scalar-tensor theories provide models for inflation and dark energy. Many efforts have been made recently for constructing most general scalar-tensor theories with higher-order derivatives in their Lagrangian. Higher derivatives are typically associated with [...]

Carlos Peña Garay Instituto de Física Corpuscular, UV/CSIC, Valencia   Dark energy is at the core of the infrared behavior of our theory. It raises questions on the vacuum chosen to build our successful ultraviolet physics. Alternatively,  a scalar field may play the role of dark energy, but if it [...]

José Manuel Narciso Ramos Founder & CEO en Bionline (Parc Científic de la Universitat de València)   In this seminar we will talk about the meaning and nature of Predictive Marketing, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data when applied to business. We will describe some examples of real business [...]

Germán Rodrigo Instituto de Física Corpuscular   Quantum field theory is poorly defined in four space-time dimensions due to unphysical configurations introduced by quantum corrections. These unphysical configurations lead to the proliferation of infinities that are usually regulated by modifying the [...]

Verónica Sanz University of Sussex, Brighton (UK)   This talk is an introduction to the use of the Higgs boson to look for new physics. We will review the motivation for such analyses, the current LHC sensitivity to new phenomena and future prospects to discover new physics via the precise characterization of the [...]

Hector Ramírez IFIC   The standard realization of inflation is that of a canonical single field slowly rolling down a sufficiently flat potential. In this convention, one usually computes the power spectra in terms of a standard hierarchy of the slow-roll parameters, related to the inflaton potential, which [...]

Javier Redondo Munich, Max Planck Institute & Universidad de Zaragoza   The hypothetical QCD axion invoked to solve the strong CP problem is a good dark matter candidate with potential characteristic signatures and can have interesting effects on stellar evolution. We will review its motivation, signatures  and [...]
