Open problems in particle physics after the Higgs discovery The discovery of the Higgs boson is the most significant outcome so far of the LHC experiments. This discovery addresses issues in our understanding of nature that have been on our table for almost 50 years. It also provides us a more solid basis on which to continue our exploration of the other open problems in particle physics, such as: what is the nature of dark matter? What is the origin of matter? Do all forces of nature unify? The future programme of the LHC, and the future facilities that CERN is planning and that will be presented in the following two talks, are tailored to address these questions.

Michelangelo Mangano M. Mangano studied theoretical physics at Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa, Italy). He held research appointments in the Physics Department of Princeton University ('84-'86), in the Theory Group of Fermilab laboratory (Chicago, '86-'88), in the Pisa laboratory of INFN (Italy, '89-'95). Since 1995, he works in the Theory Group at CERN. His research activity is focused on the study of high energy particle collisions, to understand the fundamental laws of nature through the observation of particles' interactions. Between 1988 and 2000, Mangano has worked with the CDF experiment at Fermilab, where he contributed to the discovery of the top quark. Since 2009, he runs the LHC Physics Centre at CERN (http://cern.ch/lpcc), which contributes to the interpretation of the data arising from the LHC. ____________________

CLIC, a future linear collider at the foot of the Jura The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a linear accelerator under development. CLIC will allow to study high-energy collisions between electrons, e-, and positrons, e+. Contrary to protons, which collide in the LHC, the electron and its antiparticle, the positron, are genuine point-like particles. Proton-proton and electron-positron collisions are governed by different elementary forces. In general electron-positron…
