The Energy Frontier Programme
A review of recent Standard Model results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments utilising data from Run I of the LHC is given.
Results on jets, bosons plus jets, dibosons and top quark physics are discussed as well as observations of rare Standard Model processes.

The search for physics beyond the Standard Model is a priority in the physics programme of the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. These searches cover a wide variety of experimental signatures and proposed models, ranging from, e.g., supersymmetry to heavy gauge bosons, extra dimensions and dark matter. In this talk the latest results obtained with up to 20/fb of data collected at 8 TeV...

The LHC Higgs programme has been spectacularly successful in discovering what has been variously called 'A new boson', 'a Higgs-like boson' and 'a Higgs boson' even while the machine was running well below design energy. But what do we really know about this particle? Why don't we just call it 'The Higgs boson', and will we ever do so? And what can it tell us about the remaining mysteries such...

I will summarize the theoretical context for the search for the avatar of electroweak symmetry breaking, review what we have learned about H(125), and outline what we need to learn about the new particle. I will describe some of the questions raised and opportunities opened by the discovery of H(125), and how they influence our thinking about future accelerators. Finally, I will try to connect...
