Abstract
The predictions of the Standard Model of fundamental interactions yield remarkable agreement with experimental measurements, with some consistent to one part in \(10^9\) (Hanneke, Hoogerheide and Gabrielse, Phys. Rev. A83, 052122 (2011) [1]), and as such the Standard Model currently represents humanity’s best understanding of the behaviour of all known elementary particles. Nevertheless, there is mounting evidence for physical observations inconsistent with the predictions of the Standard Model: astrophysical observations of dark matter, dark energy, and the baryon asymmetry of the universe can only result from hitherto unknown fundamental interactions, and internal inconsistencies regarding the nature of neutrino masses challenge the completeness of the Standard Model.
