What comes after the Standard Model?
Abstract
Abstract The standard model (SM) of elementary particles involves particle symmetry and the mechanism of its breaking. It finds no contradictions in the collider experiments, but appeals to extensions for solutions of its internal problems and in view of its evident incompleteness. The paradigm of the modern cosmology is based on inflationary models with baryosynthesis and dark matter/energy that involves physics beyond the standard model (BSM) of elementary particles. However, studies of the BSM physical basis of the modern cosmology inevitably reveals additional particle model dependent cosmological consequences that go beyond the modern Standard cosmological model. The mutual relationship of the BSM particle physics basis of the modern cosmology and the nontrivial features of the corresponding cosmological scenario are the subject of the present review.
