Accidental matter at the LHC

par Marco Nardecchia (Cambridge)

Auditorium (Annecy-le-Vieux)

In the first part of the talk I will review the experimental and theoretical status of physics Beyond the Standard Model (SM). Then, motivated by the lack of signals of New Physics in indirect searches and by the fact that the SM posses various accidental and approximate symmetries, I will talk about extensions of the SM that automatically preserve such symmetries. I will finally comment about cosmological as well as phenomenological implications of such a framework.
