很快，NA 62实验将开始寻找罕见的K+ -> pi+ nu nu棒衰变。本文将简要地评述它的理论意义，以及中性稀有衰变KL -> pi 0 nu bar，KL -> pi 0 e+ e-和KL -> pi 0 mu+ mu-的理论意义。然后讨论了NA 62的其它可能靶点，包括主要的半轻子衰变、辐射衰变和轻子味破坏衰变。
英文摘要：
Soon the NA62 experiment will start looking for the rare K+ ---> pi+ nu nu bar decay. In this talk, its theoretical interests, together with those of the neutral rare decays KL ---> pi0 nu nu bar, KL ---> pi0 e+ e-, and KL ---> pi0 mu+ mu-, are briefly reviewed. Then, other possible targets for NA62 are discussed, among which the dominant semileptonic decays, the radiative decays, as well as the lepton-flavor violating decays.
We review the Spring 2022 status of the current $B$ anomalies and their possible interpretation in terms of New Phsyics. We also discuss the discovery potential of targeted LHC and future collider searches for the underlying new particles and their complementarity with low-energy flavour observables.
Manuscript of volume 2 of the Yellow Report on the "Workshop on the Physics of HL-LHC and perspectives at HE-LHC" containing the notes produced by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations as input to the Yellow Report volume 1.
The current state of research on high-energy heavy ion physics, including its motivations and purpose is reviewed from a theorist's perspective. Possible future directions are discussed, in particular the possibility of investigating the regime of small transverse momenta in more detail and an improved interplay between experiments and dedicated theory development.
Future perspectives for Higgs physics are outlined. First it is shown that the discovered Higgs boson cannot be the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson, motivating the investigations of Higgs sectors beyond the SM (BSM). The secure future, the HL-LHC, and the agreed upon future, an $e^+e^-$ collider, are briefly discussed. The importance of theory calculations for the full exploitation of the (anticipated) experimental data is emphasized. Finally, the complementarity of collider based Higgs physics and other types of experiments, such as gravitational wave observatories is briefly outlined.
We review current results on physics with photons at the LHC and discuss realistic perspectives of photon physics at future colliders. In particular, we focus on Standard Model (SM) measurements with photons at the upcoming high-luminosity and a possible high-energy LHC as well as jet measurements at an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) to be constructed either at BNL or at JLAB and their potential to constrain nuclear parton densities. We also discuss future searches for physics beyond the SM with photons in the high-luminosity phase of the LHC.
