15 June, SFB1258 Colloquy with Wolfgang Waltenberger and Jonas Würzinger

Please be invited to our third SFB1258 Colloquy in the summer semester 2026.

Program

9:30 Welcome Coffee

10:00 Wolfgang Waltenberger (U Vienna/Marietta-Blau Institut für Teilchenphysik): LHC Searches and the Next Standard Model: A Meta-Statistical View

Abstract: The LHC Run-2 programme has produced an extensive set of search results for physics beyond the Standard Model, a legacy that will eventually be topped by the ongoing Run-3. While no individual analysis alone currently meets the standard for evidence — let alonediscovery — of new physics, the collective body of results offers opportunities that go beyond isolated excesses. In this talk, I shall argue that such a global, meta-statistical view of the Run-2 results collected in our SModelS database reveals interesting trends: certain types of searches exhibit too many excesses and too few under fluctuations, while most classes behave exactly as expected. I will discuss these trends and introduce a framework for inferring incomplete prototype BSM models dubbed "protomodels" from such a database of ATLAS and CMS search results.

10:45 Coffee break
