Physics Beyond the Standard Model

There is reason to believe that the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, the theory describing all particles and interactions of the subatomic realm, might have its validity limit at energies close to the TeV scale. CERN´s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was built to explore that energy scale and has been releasing results for a few years. The scientific community has been making great effort, both on the theoretical and experimental fronts, to direct searches and understand the results produced by the LHC and other experiments that test the limits of the SM. I have been focusing on model building and phenomenology of extensions of the SM at the TeV scale.
