Planck 2023
The 25th Planck conference in the series 'From the Planck scale to the electroweak scale' will take place in Warsaw, May 22-26, 2023. It will be focused on 'Hot topics in particle physics and cosmology: theory facing experimental prospects'.

Our first conference in Warsaw
Our first joint conference was held at the University of Warsaw, Faculty of Physics, on 17-18 October 2022. Because of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the conference was the first time when both teams from Warsaw and Bergen could meet. During the event, progress in all 5 research objectives was discussed, as well as some other interesting topics. In total, 25 people participated, and 8 talks were given.

Project starts!
The project has officially started on October the 1st, and the first Warsaw-Bergen meeting was held.
Project description
In this project we shall pursue a number of conrete novel approaches and tasks, that in our opinion should bring us (as the whole research community) closer to the ultimate goal of finding the extension of the SM that will explain the puzzles of the early universe. The guiding principle for our choice of the objectives is the existing observational puzzles that Standard Model is not able to explain that is existence of Dark Matter, the need for additional source of CP violation to explain the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry and, considering the EW baryogenesis to be an interesting option, the characteristic of the EW phase transition.
Our identification of New Physics signatures of interest which structure our research programme in its experimental and theoretical aspects is A) Mono-jet signature, B) Mono-Higgs signature, C) Di-Higgs production, CP state of p p -> t tbar h and h -> tau+ tau-, D) Multi-jet signatures.
