Purpose

Recent evidence coming from neutrino oscillation, dark matter and dark energy shows that the 40-year old Standard Model of Particle Physics incomplete, and that we are at the threshold of a new theory and “New Physics.” One way to look for possible signals of new physics is with high-precision experiments at lower energy which can provide indirect access to physics at multi-TeV scales and play an important complementary role to the Large Hadron Collider research program. This research requires both experimental and theoretical effort, and the new-generation experiments will need a new degree of precision from theory.
