Description
The standard model (SM) of elementary particles and their interactions
has provided a remarkably accurate description of all experiments in
particle physics. This has established our understanding of the physics of the
very small up to energy scales of around 100 GeV. The Large Hadron Collider
(LHC) at CERN was conceived to probe the physics of the next frontier, that of
the TeV energy scale, and to provide a definitive statement on whether
or not the Higgs boson exists.
The most popular and by far best understood extension of the SM is the
framework of supersymmetry (SUSY), a symmetry that relates each elementary
particle to a super-partner whose spin differs by 1/2. Like in the SM, SUSY is
built around a Higgs sector but provides possible solutions to several
theoretical problems of the SM e.g. the hierarchy problem. If SUSY is realized at
the TeV scale, the LHC should be able to detect the production of these
super-partner particles in proton-proton collisions.
In the first part of this talk I will present an overview of the recent
spectacular results from the searches for a SM-like Higgs boson. The
second part of the talk is devoted to a review of the searches for SUSY
at the LHC and how the observation of a new (Higgs?) boson might impact
the landscape of SUSY searches in the future.
