Going the Extra Mile to Push the Frontier — •Alexander Mann — Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München

With the completion of the Run-2 dataset, a major checkpoint in the LHC physics program has been reached. For several years, this dataset will be the largest ever taken at the high-energy frontier and enable searches for physics beyond the Standard Model to explore new regions of phase space.

The wealth of data increases the sensitivity to the many models already under consideration, but the more important boost typically arises from new and refined analysis techniques that allow more challenging scenarios to be tackled, which are characterized by small cross sections or low signal acceptance or require dedicated reconstruction algorithms. With the Run-2 dataset many new and interesting models can be studied for the first time --- in this presentation, we will look at the overall status of the LHC searches and at the highlights from some selected recent results in detail.
