Searching for Particle Physics Beyond the Standard Model at the LHC and Elsewhere

TL;DR

This paper reviews the potential of the LHC to explore physics beyond the Standard Model, highlighting current searches for supersymmetry, substructure, and microscopic black holes, and discussing future prospects in this research area.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of how the LHC is advancing beyond previous experiments in probing new physics phenomena.

Findings

LHC is already probing supersymmetry and substructure.

Searches for microscopic black holes are ongoing.

Future experiments will further explore beyond Standard Model physics.

Abstract

Following a general introduction to open questions beyond the Standard Model, the prospects for addressing them in the new era opened up by the LHC are reviewed. Sample highlights are given of ways in which the LHC is already probing beyond previous experiments, including the searches for supersymmetry, quark and gluon substructure and microscopic black holes.
