Prof. Sven Heinemeyer
Titulo: SUSY and Higgs phenomenology

Abstract:
We discuss the phenomenology of multi-Higgs models, including their supersymmetric extensions. This will range from purely theoretical considerations to experimental analyses at the LHC and future e+e- colliders.

Introduction to string theory

Abstract:
In this introductory course we will present the basic building blocks
of string theory, including the construction of bosonic string theory,
the five supersymmetric superstring theories, their T-duality and
non-perturbative dualitiy relations, compactification, D-branes and
AdS/CFT holography.

Introduction to indirect detection of dark matter

Abstract:
In this introductory course we will present the basic building blocks
for the indirect detection of dark matter. We will go in-depth in the
main equation of the field and discuss related uncertainties and
limitations.

Titulo:Flavour Physics

Abstract:
Flavor physics provides stringent tests of the Standard Model
(SM) and probes new physics (NP). I will present the predictions of the
SM: The universality of the strong, electromagnetic and neutral-current
weak interactions, the diagonality of the Yukawa interactions, and the
special features of the charged-current weak interactions. I will
explain why flavor changing neutral current processes are highly
suppressed in the SM, and how they are used to test the SM and to probe
NP. I will introduce the SM flavor puzzle and the  NP flavor puzzle, and
describe various proposed solutions. The surprising features of the
neutrino flavor structure will be presented. Finally, current flavor
anomalies will be described.

Consistent EFTs

Abstract: Even without reference to UV completions that include gravity (like e.g. string theory), generic effective field theories might be inconsistent and be part of a "swampland". These lectures aim at introducing the basic constraints that a consistent EFT should satisfy. Positivity bounds on Wilson coefficients and restrictions from gauge anomaly cancellation will be illustrated at an introductory level. Several simple examples will be worked out, both in a top-down and in a bottom up-approach.

Contents include:
- positivity bounds in scalar EFT
- positivity bounds in the Euler-Heisenberg EFT
- gauge anomaly cancellation in EFT: non-anomalous field content
- gauge anomaly cancellation in EFT: anomalous field content
- some applications: birefringence of the vacuum in axion low-energy theories,
  pi_0 decay into two photons, a-theorem and irreversibility of RGE flow,...

Introduction to collider phenomenology

Abstract:
In this introductory course we will present the basics of phenomenology at collider experiments. We will review the key ingredients for analyses at hadron at lepton colliders, discuss the most-widely used elements for BSM studies in the phenomenologist's toolbox (Feynrules, MadGraph, Pythia, Delphes) and explore “real-life” collider studies in Higgs, dark matter and long-lived-particle searches at the LHC.
