Explore the TeV scale New Physics with LHC Data

CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle accelerator, has completed its first run. We are beginning to address one of the most exciting and fundamental questions about nature: the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking. Many open questions remain after the discovery of the Higgs boson. I will begin by explaining these issues. Then I will describe how these questions can be answered in the challenging environment of the LHC
