<center>HEP_01 : *ILC Top* </center>

_Summary_ :<br>
The ILC Physics Case can be summarized in two main domains:
precision measurements and discovery potential.
Whereas the principal aim of the precision measurements concerns the Higgs, 
a secondary but very important aim is to study the top: to determine accurately its mass
and to measure its couplings to the SM vector bosons.
The top mass will be obtained at 350 !GeV, by scanning the threshold of the top pair production.
The top couplings to the photon and the Z0 will be measured at about 500 !GeV.
<br>
For both measurements, a precise mastering of the !ElectroWeak loop corrections is essential since
it appears that they induce sizeable corrections to the leading mechanisms (typically 5-10%)
far larger than the precision achievable at the ILC.
<br>
The goals of the !TYL project “top-ILC” are twofold: strengthen further the 500 !GeV analysis that has been developed in the past years using semi-leptonic events [1], and design means to control theoretically and experimentally the !ElectroWeak loop corrections.
<br>
In that respect, following the first top-ILC workshop held in !KeK (2013) one of the approach that is pursued is to assess the potential of the 
double leptonic events, where both W’s decay leptonically.
<br>
Using Monte Carlo events provided by GRACE [2], it has been shown that experimentally one can cope with the two missing neutrinos and that a Matrix Element [3] analysis of the events 
using Leading Order expressions [4] should provide top-coupling measurements with an accuracy similar to the one attained using the semi-leptonic events, but with different systematical effects.

<center>HEP_02 : *ILC ECAL* </center>

_Summary_ :<br>
A compact and highly granular electromagnetic calorimeter at ILC is one of the key requirements for PFA high precision jet reconstruction and realization of ILC physics potential.
R&D of silicon-tungsten calorimeter is the goal of this project. We plan to finalize the optimization of the ECAL geometry (dimensions and number of layers), to build and to test a detector (so-called "active sensor unit", or ASU) with 1024 channels per PCB serving 4 silicon sensors with 16x16 pixels, improve the DAQ software and to work on integration of several ASUs into one ILC full-scale detector. In parallel, we plan to test various designs of silicon sensors and their radiation hardness.

<center>HEP_03 : *Composite models and their phenomenology at the LHC* </center>

_Summary_ :<br>
An intriguing possibility in particle theory models is that the Higgs boson may be at least partially a composite state of an underlying strong dynamics, which may also allow for the existence of other states, among which Dark Matter and new scalar, fermion and vector particles. The Yukawa structure of the Standard Model of particle physics may also be dynamically generated, so that some strong dynamics at high-energy scale may be visible as deviations in the flavour measurements or as the appearance of new particles in the physical spectrum [1,2].
This possibility can be studied in detail at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and by other collider or high precision lower energy experiments.
Apart from focussing on the more theoretical construction of the corresponding models, we also investigate in detail the bounds and discovery potential of new fundamental particles present in these models, such as new heavy vector-like quarks and other new vector [3] and scalar particles [4].

<center>HEP_04 : *Cosmological tests of Fundamental Physics* </center>

_Summary_ :<br>
Several astrophysical or cosmological observations (evidences for dark matter, baryon asymmetry, inflation...) require an extension of the Standard Model of particle physics (so-called “beyond the standard model” (BSM) physics).  Our project aims at investigating some theoretical ideas advanced to tackle several of the above-mentioned problems and their related phenomenological tests. In particular, we give high importance to the possibility to achieve the solution to several of these puzzles within the same (relatively simple) framework, as well as to the opportunity to establish links with the latest discoveries in the field of particle physics, notably Higgs and neutrino oscillations. For instance, the inflaton field may be related to the mass generation mechanism of right handed neutrinos, needed for neutrino oscillations, providing at the same time a dark matter candidate. We focus in particular on scenarios where the inflation and/or the additional degrees of freedom needed in a UV completion of the model are at or below the !TeV scale, with obvious interesting implication for collider searches, at the energy frontier and/or at the intensity one.
One such simple and attractive model is for instance the SM extension via a gauged U_{B-L}(1) symmetry, where the electroweak symmetry is radiatively broken by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. Some implications for small-field inflation inspired by this model have been already been analyzed in Ref. [1]. Others, notably for the reheating (at low temperatures), dark matter production, and possibly the associated Z’ phenomenology, are currently under scrutiny
