Probing Physics at the Energy Frontier with the Large Hadron Collider

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN in Switzerland is colliding beams of protons at the energy frontier, currently running at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Both the ATLAS and CMS experiments as well as the LHC accelerator are performing well, allowing us to probe a wide range of knew physics scenarios, hoping to unveil some of the mysteries of our universe. Both direct searches for new particles and interactions as well as precision measurements of known processes will be presented, providing a broad overview of the physics highlights from the ATLAS and CMS experiments, including many recent results from the 2015 data run.
