LTP Colloquium

The Low-Energy Frontier of the Standard Model

Achim Denig, University of Mainz

Abstract:
We discuss various research topics of the collaborative research centre CRC-1044 "The low-energy frontier of the Standard Model" at the University of Mainz, which addresses the interplay between such diverse fields as hadron physics in the context of the high-energy and the high-precision frontiers of the Standard Model. We present recent measurements from MAMI regarding the Dark Photon, brand new measurements from BESIII concerning the g-2 of the muon and new ideas regarding the proton radius puzzle. At the end of the talk we also present future opportunities for precision physics at the high-intensity electron accelerator MESA, which is currently under construction in Mainz.
