Description
An overview will be given of the high-pT-physics highlights from the Run I of the LHC. ATLAS and CMS have an extensive physics program of high-precision measurement and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. The talk will cover Higgs boson, electroweak physics and top quark physics, as well as searches for hints of new phenomena that attempt to address the open questions we are facing in particle physics - in particular the naturalness of the Higgs mass scale, dark matter, neutrino masses, and the incorporation of gravity into the particle picture. The new physics models considered include Supersymmetry, composite Higgs models, extra dimensions, technicolor, hidden valley and many more. The corresponding new signatures range from spectacular new resonances and excesses in various final states to subtle changes in kinematic distributions.
