Description
Beyond the ground-breaking discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), deep and fundamental mysteries of physics persist. As we continue to pursue new physics at the LHC, we are faced with extremely challenging experimental conditions. I will discuss novel hardware and reconstruction techniques to address these challenges. Then, I will present a new search program which takes advantage of these techniques to both probe the Higgs sector with high sensitivity and greatly extend searches for dark matter at accelerators. Finally I will close by discussing an exciting experimental initiative, centered at SLAC, which would considerably enhance accelerator-based searches for light dark matter.
