Abstract:
How to make a universe: first get rid of all the antimatter…
Particle physicists work to build a complete theoretical understanding of how our Universe is formed and how the stuff inside it functions and evolves. We have a great model, the Standard Model of elementary particles, which explains a vast number of phenomena within our Universe. However, many unexplained mysteries persist. I will talk about one such mystery, which is a crucial ingredient in the making of our Universe: why is there more matter than antimatter around us? I will present my work on beyond-the-Standard-Model theories to answer this question.
