Introduction● Lepton flavor violation exists in Nature (neutrino oscillations), but  LFV in the charged sector is extremely suppressed in the SM.  FCNC is also highly suppressed in the SM by GIM mechanism.

● The Higgs sector is a new reality in particle physics and may be a portal for beyond SM phenomena.● A number of models beyond SM predict LFV in charged sector and FCNC related to the Higgs sector at levels observable at LHC.

● Low energy results (e.g.    e→ ,    eee, → e conversion, etc.) provide ‐indirect constraints, but there are often assumptions.

Computing and SimulationComputing and SimulationThe fast duty cycle of the LHC analyses is possible thanks to the Tier0 

and GRID resources

● Just in 2012, both CMS and ATLAS experiments have produced 3­4 billions of MC events on the GRID and processed ~3 billions of data events at Tier0.

● On a single machine, it would require more than 15 thousands years (without considering user and group analyses, calibrations, reprocessings, ...).

●GRID is a crucial asset  of the LHC experiments to provide physics results in a timely manner.

Higgs Mechanism Birth

● EW Gauge bosons in previous formulation of the SM were massless.● Four seminal papers in 1964 proposed a spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism in relativistic gauge theory.

●The introduction of a complex scalar doublet allow to give mass to the W and Z bosons after symmetry breaking.● 3 deg. of freedom go in the longitudinal polarizations of the W± and Z● Remaining d.o.f. is a new scalar particle   → the Higgs boson● Yukawa couplings to fermions was later introduced in the formulation of the SM● In SM all Higgs parameters are determined once the Higgs mass is known.
