GSI-Kolloquium:"Low-energy Precision Tests of the Standard Model"

After the discovery of a Higgs-like particle at the LHC, the particle content of the Standard Model appears complete. However, the prevailing discrepancy between the experimental and theoretical estimates for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, as well as our lack of understanding of the dark components of the Universe suggest the existence of phenomena and interactions that lie beyond the Standard Model. In this talk I outline a range of new theoretical and experimental activities, which are designed to explore possible scenarios of "New Physics". In particular, I will motivate the importance of the low-energy regime for Standard Model tests and describe several new precision experiments, which will be performed as part of the PRISMA Cluster of Excellence at the University of Mainz.
