Conclusions
Conclusions Low energy tests give constraints which are very complementary to high energy colliders. Depending on which symmetries the physics beyond the SM violates, extremely high energy scales are testable. Some subfields at the verge of revolutions. Intensity/precision frontier strong future player.
