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.

With more data comes more sensitivity, but the more important boost typically arises from new and refined analysis techniques that allow to tackle more challenging scenarios with low cross sections, small acceptance or requiring dedicated reconstruction. The Run-2 dataset allows a wealth of interesting models to be studied — in this presentation, we will look at the overall status and at some selected recent results from the LHC searches in detail.
