    Decline and Fall of the Standard Model?

    Motivations for physics beyond the Standard Model are reviewed, with particular emphasis on supersymmetry at the TeV scale. Constraints on the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with universal soft supersymmetry-breaking terms (CMSSM) are discussed. These are also combined with the supersymmetric interpretation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The prospects for observing supersymmetry at accelerators are reviewed using benchmark scenarios to focus the discussion. Prospects for other experiments are discussed, including the detection of cold dark matter, mu -> e gamma and related processes, as well as proton decay.Comment: Invited talk at 20th International Symposium on Lepton and Photon Interactions at High Energies, Rome, 2001, 16 pages LaTeX, 13 eps figures, uses special .cls file (included

    The present status of the Standard Model and its experimental tests are reviewed, including indications on the likely mass of the Higgs boson. Also discussed are the motivations for supersymmetry and grand unification, searches for sparticles at LEP, neutrino oscillations, and the prospects for physics at the LHC.Comment: 32 pages, LaTeX, 10 figures (included), Invited plenary talk presented at the Inaugural Conference of the APCTP, Seoul, June 199
