We point out that interesting features in high energy physics data can be determined from properties of Voronoi tessellations of the relevant phase space. For illustration, we focus on the detection of kinematic edges in two dimensions, which may signal physics beyond the standard model. After deriving some useful geometric results for Voronoi tessellations on perfect grids, we propose several algorithms for tagging the Voronoi cells in the vicinity of kinematic edges in real data. We show that the efficiency is improved by the addition of a few Voronoi relaxation steps via Lloyds method. By preserving the maximum spatial resolution of the data, Voronoi methods can be a valuable addition to the data analysis toolkit at the LHC.

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a mature option for the future of high energy physics. It combines the benefits of the clean environment of $e^+e^-$ colliders with operation at high centre-of-mass energies, allowing to probe scales beyond the r
each of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for many scenarios of new physics. This places the CLIC project at a privileged spot in between the precision and energy frontiers, with capabilities that will significantly extend knowledge on both fronts at the end of the LHC era. In this report we review and revisit the potential of CLIC to search, directly and indirectly, for physics beyond the Standard Model.
Several experiments observed deviations from the Standard Model (SM) in the flavour sector: LHCb found a $4-5,sigma$ discrepancy compared to the SM in $bto smu^+mu^-$ transitions (recently supported by an Belle analysis) and CMS reported a non-zero m
easurement of $htomutau$ with a significance of $2.4,sigma$. Furthermore, BELLE, BABAR and LHCb founds hints for the violation of flavour universality in $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$. In addition, there is the long-standing discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Interestingly, all these anomalies are related to muons and taus, while the corresponding electron channels seem to be SM like. This suggests that these deviations from the SM might be correlated and we briefly review some selected models providing simultaneous explanations.
In this work we investigate the usefulness of nuSTORM as a probe of two new-physics scenarios which are sterile neutrinos and non-unitarity of the neutrino mixing matrix. For the sterile neutrino we show the importance of the neutral current events w
hen combined with the charged current events to constrain the effective mixing angle, $theta_{mu mu}$, and the sterile mixing angles $theta_{14}$ and $theta_{24}$. We also study the role nuSTORM will play in the study of neutrino oscillation physics if the three generation neutrino mixing matrix is non-unitary. In this context we elucidate the role of nuSTORM, considering both charged current and neutral current events, in constraining the various non-unitarity parameters such as $alpha_{11}$, $|alpha_{21}|$ and $alpha_{22}$.
While the LHC did not observe direct evidence for physics beyond the standard model, indirect hints for new physics were uncovered in the flavour sector in the decays $Bto K^*mu^+mu^-$, $Bto Kmu^+mu^-/Bto Ke^+e^-$, $B_stophimu^+mu^-$, $Bto D^{(*)}tau
u$ and $htotau^pmmu^mp$. Each observable deviates from the SM predictions at the $2-3,sigma$ level only, but combining all $bto smu^+mu^-$ data via a global fit, one finds $4-5,sigma$ difference for NP compared to the SM and combining $Bto D^{*}tau u$ with $Bto Dtau u$ one obtains $3.9,sigma$. While $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ and $htotaumu$ can be naturally explained by an extended Higgs sector, the $bto smu^+mu^-$ anomalies point at a $Z$ gauge boson. However, it is also possible to explain $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ and $bto smu^+mu^-$ simultaneously with leptoquarks while their effect in $htotau^pmmu^mp$ is far too small to account for current data. Combining a 2HDM with a gauged $L_mu-L_tau$ symmetry allows for explaining the $bto smu^+mu^-$ anomalies in combination with $htotau^pmmu^mp$, predicting interesting correlations with $tauto3mu$. In the light of these deviations from the SM we also discuss the possibilities of observing lepton flavour violating $B$ decays (e.g. $Bto K^{(*)}tau^pmmu^mp$ and $B_stotau^pmmu^mp$).
LHCb found hints for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) in $Bto K^*mu^+mu^-$, $R(K)$ and $B_stophimu^+mu^-$. These intriguing hints for NP have recently been confirmed by the LHCb measurement of $R(K^*)$ giving a combined significance for NP abov
e the $5,sigma$ level. In addition, the BABAR, BELLE and LHCb results for $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ also point towards lepton flavour universality (LFU) violating new physics (NP). Furthermore, there is the long-standing discrepancy between the measurement and the theory prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon ($a_mu$) at the $3,sigma$ level. Concerning NP effects, $bto smu^+mu^-$ data can be naturally explained with a new neutral gauge bosons, i.e. a $Z^prime$ but also with heavy new scalars and fermions contributing via box diagrams. Another promising solution to $bto smu^+mu^-$, which can also explain $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$, are leptoquarks. Interestingly, leptoquarks provide also a viable explanation of $a_mu$ which can be tested via correlated effects in $Ztomu^+mu^-$ at future colliders. Considering leptoquark models, we show that an explanation of $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ predicts an enhancement of $bto stau^+tau^-$ processes by around three orders of magnitude compared to the SM. In case of a simultaneous explanation of $Bto D^{(*)}tau u$ and $bto smu^+mu^-$ data, sizable effects in $bto staumu$ processes are predicted.
