Both
theoretical considerations and experimental observations indicate
that the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics cannot be the
ultimate theory of nature. For example, although in the SM the
lepton flavor number is conserved, the observation of
neutrino
oscillation tells us that the lepton flavor number is violated
in nature. To obtain the observed neutrino data, the SM has to be
augmented to give neutrinos tiny but nonzero masses. Any extension
of the SM will potentially induce novel effects on various
observable quantities. It is up to a phenomenologist to identify
and analyze such effects.
The high energy phenomenology
group at IPM is active in the
following topics:
- neutrino physics
- MSSM
- CP-Violation
- the phenomenology of the non-commutative geometry
