Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the discussion meeting will be conducted through online lectures.The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has now reached a major milestone in its development after the discovery of Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, CERN, in 2012. Since the first observation of this new scalar state, detailed investigations of its properties have increasingly confirmed it to be consistent with the SM Higgs boson. While SM is a highly successful theory of the fundamental particles and their interactions at the lowest length scale probed so far in experiments, it has serious shortcomings. New fundamental interactions are required to address them. The main focus of particle physics community at present involves searching for these new theories/interactions and associated new particles. One of the most popular theories that go beyond SM is “Super-Symmetry (SUSY)” theory. However, this theory requires the presence of new set of particles (su...
