| Abstract: | Features Collisions at the energy frontier IT IS always risky to bet against the standard model of particle physics. There ought to be a whole set of additional fields and particles, of which the Higgs field and Higgs boson are just the first. Quantum field theory seems to imply, and experiments seem to confirm, that it is highly unusual to have a Higgs field and Higgs boson that exist entirely on their own. Finding these so-called weakly coupled particles is an important avenue to explore, since much of our observational evidence for physics beyond the standard model is "dark" physics - relating to dark matter and dark energy.
