4 Why study Particle Physics ?  Two complementary ways: -The energy frontier: based on measurements of particle interactions in collisions of highest possible energy, aiming to the production of new heavy elementary particles (LHC @ CERN). -The precision frontier: look carefully at low-energy processes that can be accurately predicted by the SM. The differences from expectations in such processes would prove the existence (and give information) on the form of new physics.  Example of question: -What is the nature of the dark matter ? ….
