      Working on the physics of the Higgs boson I personally hope to collect enough data to measure a process which has not been observed yet, the associated production of the Higgs boson with top quarks. More in general I hope that something new will be discovered which will give us the opportunity to understand our Universe even better than we do now.

      The search for signs of Supersymmetry are still ongoing. I think finding evidence to support that would be pretty cool. Another addition to the Standard Model would also be exciting as the Standard Model is pretty much complete since the discovery of the Higgs Boson. If we found a new particle which questioned this theory I think that would be exciting for all particle physicists 🙂
